Here’s video of Chip Simone’s “Spotlight Series” lecture at the High Museum. The conversation begins at about six minutes into the video.

Video: ACP 2011 Lecture Series Presents Zoe Strauss at Atlanta Contemporary Art Center

This year’s ACP Portfolio Review was at the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center, and the Portfolio Walk had a special spirit of photographers, reviewers and the public connecting in new and exciting ways. Here’s a brief look at the Walk & Reception, featuring interviews with Judy Lampert, Valerie Oliveiro, Alan Chimacoff, and a reviewer, Darren Ching of Klompching Gallery.

Thanks again to ArtRelish for video production on this and all of this year’s ACP Preview Videos!

Our latest ACP Video Preview presents Festival Event #85, Atlanta, Past and Present: A collection of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s great photographers, which opens at Jill Celeste Gallery tomorrow night (Thurs.) with a reception at 7pm.

Atlanta photographer Charlie McCullers has two exhibitions during ACP 2011, one at the Atlanta Ballet, where McCullers is lead photographer, and the other in Buckhead, at BEE, which is on view this Saturday. We talked with Charlie about his work for the ballet last week, and we hope you enjoy the preview of his show.

Another ACP Video Preview, this one, of Ryan Flynn’s “No Posers” exhibition at Young Blood Gallery, which opens Oct. 1st.

And if you haven’t already, check out the last preview, too!
Dorothy O’Connor’s “Tornado”

Thanks again to artrelish for video production!

We couldn’t be happier about collaborating with artrelish this fall to create a few video previews highlighting participating artists and venues that make up this year’s photo festival. Our first preview, of Dorothy O’Connor’s annual tableau vivant is viewable below.

Great to see that the Grant Romer presentation from last year’s Lecture Series is now online!

“Grant Romer, world-renowned photography authority and former Director of Conservation for the International Museum of Photography at the George Eastman House in Rochester, New York, introduces recently evolved thinking about the daguerreotype in light of the dramatic changes in imaging and information technology over the last ten years.

Romer also examines the basics of daguerreotype connoisseurship through an overview of the history of the process and illustrations of the unique qualities of the daguerreotype.”

Chip Simone’s “Resonant Image” opens on Saturday, and ACP was able to spend some time with Chip during the exhibition installation to hear his thoughts about the show. The video below was produced in collaboration with ArtRelish.com, and we’ll be working together this summer to bring you previews of shows, behind-the-scenes with artists, and generally take a look at what goes into events that are part of the festival every October.

Thanks again to Chip Simone, Brett Abbott, and Nicole Taylor at the High Museum.

You’ve seen the petition and you’ve read the news. Here’s a look at today’s rally held at the State Capitol where a few hundred artists, educators, supporters and administrators raised awareness about arts funding. The speaker in the video is Georgia State Representative Vincent Fort.

It’s hard to quantify how great it is that there’s another new photography organization serving photographers in Metro Atlanta. The Serenbe Photography Center located southwest of the city, in Palmetto, is a tremendous step forward as a serious resource for local (and regional!) photographers. Their Grand Opening was this past weekend, and we wanted to share with you a quick look of the facilities, which include a sizeable gallery and a digital/traditional darkroom. Amazing!

Please take a look at their site to see upcoming workshops, classes, and presentations, and find out how to get involved!

Great to see that the Forum Network has posted this video, documenting the discussion about Harry Shearer’s “The Silent Echo Chamber” with Mr. Shearer, CNN’s Jim Clancy, The Contemporary’s Stuart Horodner, and ACP’s Michael David Murphy, with the introduction from ACP’s Executive Director, Amy Miller.

A quick look back at ACP 11 in October, 2009!

My Atlanta was abuzz this morning with students and schools and members of the public posting their photographs at the Piedmont Park Community Center.
