PHOTOGRAPHS BY PETER MAGUBANE
September 19 - November 8, 2008
Opening Reception: Thursday, September 18th 6 - 9 p.m.
“Spruill Gallery is honored to present an exhibition by internationally acclaimed photographer Peter Magubane. In celebration of the 90th birthday of the former South African President Nelson Mandela, this exhibition features over one hundred photographs spanning five decades, documenting important milestones in Mandela’s life as well as major moments in South African history both pre and post apartheid.
“Magubane’s Nelson Mandela: Man of the People is a fitting tribute to the life and times of one of the greatest historic figures of the 20th century,” said Howard Dodson, Director of the Schomburg Center in New York City. “Magubane’s photographic record of more than fifty years reminds us of humankind’s indebtedness to Nelson Mandela and why all the world is celebrating his 90th birthday.” Man of the People: A Photographic Tribute to Nelson Mandela, a companion book to the exhibition is currently available at the Spruill Gallery. The exhibition opens to the public on Friday, September 19 and is on view through November 8, 2008. The opening reception, Thursday, September 18, 2008 from 6:00 - 9:00 is free and open to the public. We are very excited to announce that Dr. Magubane will be coming from South Africa to join us for this opening reception.
Spruill Gallery is located at 4681 Ashford Dunwoody Road in Dunwoody, at the intersection of Ashford Dunwoody Road and Meadow Lane. For more information about the exhibition please call 770-394-3447.

Arnold Newman Opens @ Lumière on Friday
ACP visited Lumère this morning to catch a preview of the Arnold Newman show that’s opening tomorrow. Newman’s elegant vintage, silver gelatin portraits reveal the beginnings of environmental portraiture, in the hands of a true master. The show, called “Images of Achievement”, opens at 6:30pm tmw (Friday), and Newman’s assistant, Gregory Heisler will be in attendance. Heisler, a well-known portrait photographer himself, will be giving a lecture at the High Museum on October 1st, in collaboration with ACP.
William Boling @ Hagedorn Foundation Gallery
Here are two views from Hagedorn Foundation Gallery’s exhibition of William Boling’s project “You Ain’t Wrong”, a whimsical look at the surprising juxtapositions that can be found in online auction imagery. The show includes large prints of low-res digital images, small pairings printed on silk, and traditionally framed photographs. For more on the show, read Cinque Hicks’ review.
“As we make the sometimes ludicrous connections between dissimilar objects, You Ain’t Wrong reveals the strange leaps required to transform the intimate evidence of our living into so many exchangeable commodities.”
Update: William Boling will be giving an artist’s lecture about this work on Thursday, Sept 18th, at 7pm. See you there!
Thursday Night, Georgia State & Emory
There are two events at local universities on Thursday night. The first is “The Perfect Angle” at Georgia State, featuring work by Nancy Floyd, Constance Thalken, Joan Tysinger and Ruth Stanford. It’s at the Welch School Gallery, and there will be an artist’s talk at 7pm.
Emory Visual Arts Gallery has an Opening Reception for Martha Rosler: Bringing the War Home on Thursday night as well, from 5:30 – 7:30 pm. Which means it would be theoretically possible to see Rosler’s work, visit Georgia State, and still make Christopher Bucklow’s lecture at 7pm at Woodruff Arts Center!
Both of these events are in conjunction with ACP 10, and will appear in the printed Festival Guide that will be available next week. Online guide should be up later this week, and the PDF is already available!
