Good Words

Some good words from Jerry Cullum about the Changing Room Exhibition at Hagedorn Foundation Gallery in Atlanta.

And of course, Susan Harbage Page is a known quantity of considerable distinction whose gender reversal of Andres Serrano’s famous Klan portraits raises a whole set of subsequent issues through their allusions to female veiling and to the secret-society performance costumes from whom she lets us know the Klan took the shape of their headgear:

Myers Park High School Project

I’m working on a new project with students at Myers Park High School in Charlotte, North Carolina. The project is a collaboration with the McColl Center for Visual Arts, Charlotte and is funded by the McColl Center and the Arts Teach Foundation. Students responded to the idea of “What it mens to be Green?” and made pinhole cameras out of recycled objects. Lisa Holder the photography teacher at Myers Park and Devlin McNeil and Angela Grauel from the McColl Center have been wonderful collaborators. Here are a few images of the students with cameras. I’ll post more images of our tree wrapping installation later.
