This video, shown on Friday night at the ACP Auction, is a quick highlight reel of ACP’s Programs, with a specific eye on this year’s festival, ACP 10.

We were happy to have artrelish.com at the ACP 10 Auction to record a quick video. Thanks, artrelish! More ACP Videos…

in 2006, ACP commissioned local artist Matt Haffner to create a public art installation for ACP 8. The project was curated by Joey Orr, and this video was filmed/edited by Chris Downs. We wanted to make sure it was viewable here on the site, and available to all.

Sheila Pree Bright’s exhibition “Young Americans” (detailed here) opened this weekend at the High Museum. On Friday, there was a media walkthrough, where Julian Cox (Head Curator of Photography) and Sheila spoke about the work.

Here’s a quick video. The exhibit runs through August 10th. For more information, see the High’s site.

Abby Banks “If You Lived Here You’d Be Home Now” at Get This! Gallery

Photographer Abby Banks has an exhibition of photographs called “If You Lived Here You’d Be Home Now” at Get This! Gallery in Castleberry. ACP visited Abby and gallery owner Lloyd Benjamin the afternoon of her show’s opening. The photographs in the show were selected from Abby’s cross-country journey photographing punk houses nationwide. Some of these photos were published last October in her first book, “Punk House”.

“If You Lived Here You’d Be Home Now” is up through June 21st.

Get This! Gallery has been a participating venue in Atlanta Celebrate’s Photography’s monthlong festival, and we’re looking forward to including them again this year. Thanks again to Abby and Lloyd.

Magnum photographer and large-format portraitist Alec Soth drove down from Minneapolis to Atlanta for the ACP Lecture Series at the High Museum. We were fortunate that Alec was willing to have a quick chat before his presentation, and doubly fortunate our friends from SCAD (and photoawesome.com) were willing to shoot, edit, add a soundtrack, credits, and upload for us! Thanks, all.

ACP is excited about continuing to shoot more interviews (with our SCAD friends) and ACP-oriented videos for this blog, so stay tuned!
