A Wrap Up of MOCA GA's Summer ArtMERGE Series

2011-09-08T12:10:00.002-04:00

ArtMERGE is a series of field trips, which seek to promote awareness of the diversity of the visual arts venues found in Atlanta, and to ease the boundaries that sometimes prevent interaction between groups. MOCA GA schedules artists, curators, or arts administrators to inform our group and answer questions.

This summer, MOCA GA held a series of four ArtMERGEs to a variety of activities and venues throughout Atlanta. Here is a quick wrap-up of an exciting summer series!

Summer ArtMERGE #1 - June 9

Museum of Design Atlanta (MODA)

Participants in the MODA ArtMERGE arrived at the Museum for a drink and a tour of the facilities led by Bruce McEvoy, the Perkins+Will architect who led the facility renovation. Mr. McEvoy is also MODA’s Board Chair, so he was uniquely qualified to answer questions about the building and MODA. After the tour, guests were free to check out the motorcycle exhibition Passione Italiana: Design of the Italian Motorcycle and to watch the Vespa reconstruction demonstration.

About MODA:MODA is the only museum in the southeast devoted exclusively to the study and celebration of all things design. MODA examines how design affects our daily lives through engaging exhibitions, K-12 educational outreach and exciting adult programming. MODA regularly features exhibitions on architecture, industrial and product design, interiors and furniture, graphics, fashion and more!

Summer ArtMERGE #2 – June 28

Gregor Turk Studio and Exhibition at Astolfi Art

Gregor is a multimedia artist, an entertaining speaker and a member of the newest class of MOCA GA Working Artist Project winners. At his studio we heard his thoughts and saw works in many media. His work typically references mapping and place-making and often incorporates elements of institutional markers, signs, symbols, iconography and pictograms. Of this work, he says "Utilizing a variety of media, I tend to focus on the fundamental qualities of mapping: the mysteriousness, inherent biases, cultural authoritativeness, and ability to simultaneously represent and distort reality."

Gregor’s new body of work at Astolfi Art is entitled Shift. Of this work, Gregor says “Shift is a bit of a departure from my previous work. This series is more contemplative as I reflect on midlife. In this case, place is more temporal than spatial. The trapezoidal pairs form portals implying perspective both literally (vanishing point) and metaphorically (insight). As the project evolved and myproclivity for using blues and greens became apparent, I realized a closer association with maps as I used the dominant colors associated with land and sea.” Also on view at Astolfi are pieces from Gregor’s earlier series entitled Limits.

Summer ArtMERGE #3 – July 29

Martha Whittington Steel Pour

SCAD Atlanta teacher, multi-media sculptor and art installation artist, Martha Whittington invited particpants to join her for a stainless steel pour of artwork which will be incorporated into her 2012 Working Artist Project exhibition at MOCA GA. The pour took place at the lower level of the High Museum building on Art Center Way. Martha demonstrated the creation of molded metal from wax to finished product, and we witnessed the actual process from the melting of stainless at 1400-1450°C in an induction furnace to pouring the mold. As you can imagine, witnessing a metal pour is an exciting and unusual opportunity.

To follow Martha Whittington's progress as she works on her WAP exhibition, check out her blog!

Summer ArtMERGE #4 – August 7

Brian Dettmer Studio Visit

Our group met with Brian in his home studio to find out what was happening there. His solo show at Saltworks this past winter inspired a nice, little segment on CBS News! Brian also recently had a show with Kinz + Tillou Fine Art in New York City which describes his work this way: "Brian Dettmer carefully selects and sifts through stacks of old books to uncover the perfect source and subject for his cultural archaeological explorations and sculptural possibilities. With the precision of a surgeon, using scalpels and hundreds of x-acto blades, he alters the pre-existing information and images by selectively removing and manipulating elements to propose new ideas and map new visual journeys." Dettmer's process was fascinating and creative to watch as demonstrate his methods to our group.

Q&A with WAP Winner Micah Stansell

2011-08-26T16:23:00.002-04:00

What would you like people to know about your WAP exhibition The Water and The Blood at MOCA GA?

I’d like for people to know that it is a multi-channel video and sound installation with some very analogue elements of interactivity. My hope is that it is an experiential exhibition.

You seem to be working in the idioms of the rural south -- is this a correct assessment?

Yes, I think that is a mostly fair assessment. This is a visual language I am certainly familiar with, and my interest in specific elements of this culture has been heightened by the subject matter I’m dealing with in this work. I am using this specific language to explore universal themes. This is something we have a great tradition of here in the south; using imagistic stories to pass histories or ideas along.

I understand there are some autobiographical references -- could you talk about this?

The genesis of the work is a family story, and that story makes up the core narrative event, but most of the elements surrounding this core event have been imagined, or pieced together from remembrances of hearing the story told. The event did take place in the rural south. The work is as much about the idea of remembering, and imagining, and seeing as it is about any single event. To that end, I like to maintain a level of openness to the narrative that will allow a viewer to access the work in their own way, and bring their own context to bear on the reading of the intentionally spare narrative.

The Water and The Blood is an interesting title -- what can you tell me about it?

I hope that the title both informs and is informed by the work, and as the work is viewed, varied readings will be uncovered. The title refers to water as a life giving liquid, and there is a very literal “water” component within the installation. Blood too is this essential liquid that carries with it ideas of family or kinship.

What can you tell me about the WAP award -- what has been your experience?

Winning the WAP award has been a great experience. It has really fostered a sense of community amongst the past and present winners, and introduced me to some work and artists that I wasn’t familiar with before winning the award. It has also been incredible to have assistants working on the project with me. Making moving image work is a pretty labor intensive process that takes a lot of people, so the assistants provided with the award have been indispensable. It’s also great to have funding for the project. In addition to being labor intensive, the kind of work I do is also quite expensive, so having the money in place has been a great help.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Micah Stansell is an Atlanta-based video/filmmaker and installation artist. He received an MFA in Digital Filmmaking from Georgia State University. His work has screened in galleries and film festivals across the Unites States and as far away as Beijing, China. Stansell has also worked as a cinematographer with artists on projects and installations that have been exhibited locally and internationally. A multi-channel video installation entitled Presynaptic Potential was shown at Le Flash Atlanta 2009 and at MOCA GA in 2010. A multi-screen installation called Between You and Me was featured as the centerpiece of Atlanta’s FLUX 2010. Stansell has received several awards for his work, and has been featured in numerous film festivals, including, the Atlanta Film Festival, Next-Frame Film Festival, Toronto Film Festival, and the Austin Film Festival. The artist says of his work, “Most of my work is structured around ideas of relationships or pairings (such as memory/history, man/woman, urban/rural, past/present)…how these pairings are simultaneously opposite and complement. But there is also a narrative…and exploration of the vestiges of interpersonal interaction in a technologically mediated world”. WAP Studio Assistants: Stephen Calsbeek & Chris Escobar.

ABOUT THE WORKING ARTIST PROJECT

The Working Artist Project is an award program that was developed by The Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia and funded with a major grant from The Charles Loridans Foundation with additional support from the National Endowment for the Arts. The Project was designed to support established visual artists of merit who reside in the Atlanta metropolitan area. This initiative provides an unparalleled level of support for individual artists, expands the Museum's mission, and promotes Atlanta as a city where artists can live, work, and thrive. Each year, MOCA GA selects three visual artists to receive the Award. Among the city's best and brightest, these artists are supported with an exhibition, promotion, a studio assistant, and a major stipend to create work over the course of the year.

MOCA GA Receives $24,000 grant from the NEA to support The MOCA GA Working Artist Project

2011-08-18T13:31:00.001-04:00

THE NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS ANNOUNCES $24,000 GRANT TO SUPPORT THE MOCA GA WORKING ARTIST PROJECT

Rocco Landesman, Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, has announced that The Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia (MOCA GA) has been awarded a grant of $24,000 to support the Working Artist Project, a one year artist-in-residency program that provides established Georgia artists with a stipend, a studio assistant, an exhibition and a full-color catalogue. The Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia (MOCA GA) is one of 1,145 not-for-profit national, regional, state, and local organizations recommended for a grant as part of the federal agency’s second round of fiscal year 2011 grants. In total, the Arts Endowment will distribute more than $88 million to support projects nationwide.

ABOUT THE NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS

The NEA was established by Congress in 1965 as an independent agency of the federal government. To date, the NEA has awarded more than $4 billion to support artistic excellence, creativity, and innovation for the benefit of individuals and communities. The NEA extends its work through partnerships with state arts agencies, local leaders, other federal agencies, and the philanthropic sector. NEA Chairman Rocco Landesman said, “NEA research shows that three out of four Americans participate in the arts. The diverse, innovative, and exceptional projects funded in this round will ensure that Americans around the country continue to have the opportunity to experience and participate in the arts.” To join the discussion on how art works, visit the NEA at www.arts.gov.

ABOUT THE MOCA GA WORKING ARTIST PROJECT

The Working Artist Project is a year-long program that supports metropolitan Atlanta visual artists, expands the museum’s mission, and strengthens the arts and cultural component of Atlanta. Each funded year, MOCA GA holds a metro-wide competition to select three working artists based on their talent, professionalism, and their proven ability to complete the project. Representing our city’s best and brightest; these artists are supported with a solo exhibition, promotion, a studio assistant, catalogue, and a major stipend to create work over the course of the year. The Project encourages artists from Atlanta and other cities to see our city as a viable destination in which their careers can thrive. At the same time, the Project will help raise the recognition of metropolitan Atlanta as a major center for contemporary art. This program is supported by a major grant from The Charles Loridans Foundation with additional support provided by the NEA in the 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 project years.

Annette Cone-Skelton, Director of MOCA GA, states, “The continued support of the National Endowment for the Arts is allowing the museum to further its mission of supporting our local arts community. Now in its fourth year of funding, the Working Artists Project was developed in response to the great loss of some of Atlanta’s most talented artists to cities such as New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. As a museum that is dedicated first and foremost to supporting Georgia’s contemporary artists, it is our goal to encourage these artists to remain in our city, establishing Atlanta as one of the best cities for launching a viable career in the arts.”

The 2011/2012 Working Artist Project winners are: Brian Dettmer, Gregor Turk and Martha Whittington. Dettmer originally from Chicago, lives and works in Atlanta. His work has gained international acclaim through internet bloggers, and traditional media. Dettmer’s work is shown and collected throughout the U.S., Latin America and Europe and can be found in several museum exhibitions, public and private collections. Turk, an Atlanta native, utilizes a variety of media, typically incorporating mapping imagery. He has completed several public art commissions including permanent installations at two international airports and a series of outdoor sculptures at a fire station. Whittington is an Atlanta-based sculptor and educator born in Gainesville, Florida. Much of her work involves small objects, multiplied many times in controlled, site-specific arrangements. Whittington’s work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally. She is also a professor of foundations studies at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Atlanta. This year, Michael Rooks, Wieland Family Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the High Museum of Art served as the guest juror for the 2011/2012 awards.

5 Things from President/CEO/Director, Annette Cone-Skelton

2010-12-28T10:06:00.005-05:00

Dear Friends and Supporters:

I want to share with you five things that make me most proud of MOCA GA:

MOCA GA supports Georgia artists by building a permanent collection of their artworks and archiving their histories for generations to come.

MOCA GA creates programs that establish a forum for active dialogue between the artistic community and the community at large.

MOCA GA produces scholarly exhibitions and catalogues.

MOCA GA encourages Georgia artists to stay in Georgia; which in turn encourages artists from outside of the state to see Georgia as a viable place to live and build a career.

MOCA GA has built a home for Georgia artists by creating a highly respected and well established museum.

We hope you are proud of The Museum as well and will make a donation to MOCA GA Annual Fund.

Happy Holidays!

Annette Cone-Skelton

President/CEO/Director

Thank You Loridans!

Memory, Sound, Performance
A multimedia lecture and performance at MOCA GA

Thursday, December 9th, 6:30pm Reception, 7pm Talk/Performance
In the MOCA GA Education Resource Center

In April 2010, Atlanta art collective John Q presented Memory Flash - a four-part series of installations and interventions exploring the archives of queer Atlanta through the use of public space. The time-based components of Memory Flash performance, sound, film, and memory itself encircled each other in unexpected ways during (and after) the event. And each of these time-based components revealed relations to the idea of space.

Andy Ditzler's artist talk examines the connections in Memory Flash. The talk incorporates texts and stories, field recordings, live sound, and 16mm film projection including Andy Warhol's Screen Test films to examine issues of memory, time, performance, and space, as well as the artistic influences on Memory Flash.

Discursive Documents: Performing the Catalogue, will be open through January 8, 2011

Discursive Documents: Performing the Catalogue, by John Q

2010-10-01T18:33:00.010-04:00

In the MOCA GA Education/Resource Center

exhibition dates: Oct. 2, 2010 - Jan. 8, 2011

opening reception: Sat., Oct. 2, 6:30 - 8:30pm

(artist talks & topics listed below)

ABOUT Discursive Documents: Performing the Catalogue

This project is a catalogue. Earlier this year, John Q proposed that memorials could be public happenings. Presented on April 3, 2010, Memory Flash consisted of four installations in different public spaces, each addressing a specific event in Atlanta queer history in the space where it originally happened. The events were drawn from oral histories, news stories, and other archival sources. As memorials, the only public upkeep was in the remembering or the forgetting. Similarly, the catalogue for this work exists in a place and for a time.

Discursive Documents includes artifacts and sound recordings from Memory Flash, as well as works and ephemera produced by others in response: murals, photographs, documentations, course syllabi, and other texts. A resource table includes these items as well as references and books used in our research. After expanding the archives into the public space for Memory Flash, we are now attempting to expand the catalogue for the event into the space of the museum (and specifically into this museum’s dedicated archival/research space – so, in a sense, Memory Flashreturns to the archives).

This catalogue process still has written components. Discursive Memorials: Queer Histories in Atlanta’s Public Spaces was published by Emory’s online journal, Southern Spaces. As for printed matter, John Q has guest curated a special issue of the JOSH (the Journal of Sexual Homos) published by Arts and Sciences PROJECTS, NY. This issue includes images from the four movements of Memory Flash along with works by other artists from the U.S., Mexico, and England concerned with queer memory and place. The JOSH, Issue #3 launches November 2010.

Finally, our individual essays for this catalogue take the form of programming. We hope you will be able to join us and participate in them.

ABOUT John Q

John Q is an artist collective whose name references “John Q. Public.” The “public” is left understood, though the work is considered a kind of public scholarship, and the “Q” is left hanging to reference the group’s interest in queer history and politics.

Press Release: High Museum to Transfer Art and Books to MOCA GA

2010-09-17T16:44:00.000-04:00

ATLANTA, September 16, 2010 – The High Museum of Art recently transferred 21 works by 14 Georgia artists from its collection to The Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia (MOCA GA). In addition, the High has transferred more than 700 duplicate publications from its archives to a new reference library currently under development by MOCA GA. The publications focus on modern and contemporary art and art from around the world. Scholars, curators, art historians, educators, artists and the public will have access to this new library.

“The High is delighted to now include MOCA GA in our repertoire of international and regional collaborations,” said David Brenneman, the High’s Director of Collections and Exhibitions. “Through the transfer of these works to MOCA GA, whose mission celebrates the contemporary art of Georgia, we are excited that Atlanta and regional communities will have greater access to view and study these artists and their work.”

“This collaboration between MOCA GA and the High is significant and an important step for the arts,” said Annette Cone-Skelton, MOCA GA’s President/CEO/Director. “These new additions will fill in some major gaps for our collection, especially works by Lamar Dodd, Ben Shute, Gladene Tucker, Shirley Bolton and Ferdinand Warren. The donated publications from the High will be housed in the library of our Education/Resource Center and will join others donated by artists and collectors including Ruth Laxson and the Estate of Genevieve Arnold.”

All works were chosen by Annette Cone-Skelton in conjunction with High.

The transferred works are:

Shirley Bolton, Silent Strings (Jazz Series), 1974
Santo Bruno, Small Function, 1977
Larry Connatser, Untitled, 1969
Herbert Lee Creecy, Jr., Study, 1967, and Study, 1967
Lamar Dodd, Wind on the Coast, 1941
Lamar Dodd, Sketch for Wind on the Coast 1944
Lamar Dodd, The White Door, 1953
Lamar Dodd, At the Foot of the Blackland
James McRae, Untitled, 1966
Charles Mitchell, Prometheus Bringing Fire Down to the Earth
Jarvin Parks, Homage to the Four Arts
Robert Stockton Rogers, A View of Taxco, Mexico
Joseph Schwarz, Funeral
Benjamin Edgar Shute, Compote with Grapes
Howard Thomas, Reidsville, 1943
Howard Thomas, White House and Chickens, 1946
Howard Thomas, Get with Red, 1962
Gladene Tucker, Untitled, 1961
Ferdinand Warren, Garden Bouquet, 1952
Ferdinand Warren, Haystacks and Corn

Highlights include work by Lamar Dodd, who trained in New York and went on to become one of the most well-known twentieth-century Southern artists. Dodd’s artistic style follows the tradition of Thomas Hart Benton, and he was a faculty member at the University of Georgia. Artist Ferdinand Warren began his career creating war bond posters during World War II. After the war he continued his career as a commercial artist and became a faculty member at Agnes Scott College. Herbert Lee Creecy, Jr. was an abstract expressionist painter. Several of his works are owned by the Whitney Museum of American Art.

The Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia
MOCA GA was founded in 2000 out of recognition of the relative void in opportunities across Georgia to learn about and view contemporary art, and specifically contemporary art from Georgia artists. The museum opened its doors to the public in February 2002. The mission of MOCA GA is to collect and archive significant contemporary works by artists from the state of Georgia. To place our artists in a global context, the museum’s exhibitions include artists from around the world in addition to Georgia artists. The museum’s programs promote the visual arts by creating a forum for active exchange between artists and the community. MOCA GA fulfills its mission through an active exhibition schedule, a growing permanent collection and the Education/Resource Center, which houses the museum’s historical archive collection. Since its opening MOCA GA has presented 72 solo and group exhibitions focused on excellence of work, explorations of media and issues in contemporary society.

High Museum of Art
The High Museum of Art, founded in 1905 as the Atlanta Art Association, is the leading art museum in the Southeastern United States. With more than 12,000 works of art in its permanent collection, the High Museum has an extensive anthology of 19th- and 20th-century American and decorative art; significant holdings of European paintings; a growing collection of African American art; and burgeoning collections of modern and contemporary art, photography and African art. The High Museum of Art is also dedicated to supporting and collecting works by Southern artists and is distinguished as the only major museum in North America to have a curatorial department specifically devoted to the field of folk and self-taught art. The High’s media arts department produces acclaimed annual film series and festivals of foreign, independent and classic cinema. In November 2005 the High opened three new buildings by architect Renzo Piano that more than doubled the Museum’s size, creating a vibrant “village for the arts” at the Woodruff Arts Center in midtown Atlanta.

Free & open to the public
Intersection of Krog Street and Irwin Street/Lake Avenue

* musical performances each night at 9pm

The galleries of i45 are pleased to announce “Convergent Frequencies”, a site-specific art installation commissioned by ArtBox, a collaboration between i45 and Possible Futures. Follow three local artists, Matt Gilbert, Matt Haffner, and Nat Slaughter as they reinvent the empty lot with three large shipping containers using images, film, and sound, while simultaneously celebrating the surrounding neighborhoods.

IMAGES

Matt Haffner’s contribution to “Convergent Frequencies” will be a series of narrative portraits applied to the exteriors of the three shipping containers. His silhouetted figures play out scenes with a background of urban iconography including bodegas, pawnshops, liquor stores and laundromats. Using found images, local architecture, and his personal understanding of the urban experience, Haffner relates the imagery specifically to the Inman Park, Old 4th Ward, Little 5 Points area that both he and the works inhabit.

i45 is a collective of Atlanta galleries in Inman Park (i), the Old Fourth Ward (4) and Little Five Points (5) working together to promote this neighborhood`s rich, creative identity. Member galleries include Barbara Archer Gallery, Henley Studios, Whitespace Gallery,
and Wm Turner Gallery . Through shared events and common interests, we seek wider visibility for our artists and our vision of building a vibrant arts community.

Free and open to the public. Food and beverages available for purchase.

2007/2008 WAP Winner Don Cooper

2010-08-26T11:11:00.028-04:00

Don Cooper's This Moment as It is: A Connection to the Whole was the second of three exhibitions shown as part of the inaugural year of MOCA GA's Working Artist Project in 2008. Cooper has continued to work as a Georgia artist after completing his time as part of the WAP, showing his art in several locations across the state.

The Lamar Dodd School of Art Gallery in Athens, GA opened its 2009-10 gallery season with Physical/Metaphysical, an exhibition which featured Cooper's paintings along with the work of two other artists. In 2009, Cooper also showed at the Swan Coach House Gallery in Atlanta in an exhibition entitled An Abundance of Color and received the Judith Alexander Artadia Award.

Beginning in 2009 through the start of of 2010, Cooper participated in an exhibition put together in conjunction with the International Year of Astronomy called Everything and the Space Between Everything. The exhibition was shown both in the Atrium of the Hartsfield Jackson International Airport and at Agnes Scott College.

Currently, Cooper's work may be seen at the Morris Museum in Augusta as part of Painters' Reel, which runs through September 26, 2010. The exhibition features work by ten of Georgia's most acclaimed contemporary artists. He will also have a solo exhibition at the Sandler Hudson Gallery in Atlanta in September of this year.

Cooper is presently working on a new projected entitled Memory of South Vietnam: A Scout Dog Journal that will include photographs, film, and text.

2007/2008 WAP Winner Larry Walker

2010-07-01T13:47:00.001-04:00

Larry Walker was one of three artists picked to receive MOCA GA's Working Artist Project Award in its inaugural 2007/2008 year. He was also the first to exhibit. His show, which opened on June 14, 2008 and was entitled Surface, Spirit Voices and Other Secrets: The Wall Series in Transition, received resounding critical acclaim.

Since his WAP Exhibition at MOCA GA, Walker has participated in numerous exhibitions and projects. He had a solo exhibition at the Tubman African American Museum in Macon, GA from October 31, 2008 through January 10, 2009 as well as a solo exhibit entitled Enigmatic Spirits at the Sande Webster Gallery in Philadelphia, September 4-30, 2009.

A solo exhibition of twenty Larry Walker paintings entitled Emerging Spirits and Other Secrets was held at Mason Murer Fine Art in Atlanta from November 6, 2009 through January 8, 2010. One of Walker's paintings was included in Tradition Redefined: The Larry and Brenda Thompson Collection of African American Art, held at the Driskell Center at the University of Maryland from February 18 to May 29, 2009. This exhibition, which will travel, opened at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Jacksonville, Florida last month.

During 2009, Walker was honored to receive one of the $3,000 awards provided by Artadia (The Fund for Art and Dialogue) to artists in the metro Atlanta area following an extensive selection process.

A video interview featuring aspects of Walker's career as an artist and professor will be shown in a film titled "The Mystic Artist," produced by Andre Henderson and David Sereda. Walker also completed an extensive oral history piece for MOCA GA in late 2008, which according to him "was one of the most important parts of the Working Artist Project sponsored by the Loridans Foundation. The longevity/legacy aspect of the oral history video offers the prospect of research and study for future generations."

In May, a selection of paintings from Walker's Wall Series was featured in an exhibition entitled WORD, curated by Mark Karelson and held at the Peters Street Projects (163 Peters Street), a new venue in the Castleberry Hill area. The exhibition opened May 14 and will run through July 2, 2010. Walker also hosted a studio visit and talk for graduate students from the Ernest Welch School of Art and Design at Georgia State University in June.

Other upcoming events and projects that Larry Walker will participate in include serving as juror for the exhibition sponsored by the South Cobb Arts Alliance in late summer as well as serving as the juror for the South Carolina State Fair Exhibition in October.

Lucinda Bunnen Artist Talk - May 12

2010-05-19T11:05:00.004-04:00

Lucinda Bunnen gave an artist talk on Wednesday, May 12, 2010 at 7 pm in MOCA GA Gallery I to discuss the twelve new works featured in the exhibition From Hatcher's Pond. We would like to extend a huge thank you to all those who came out and participated in the discussion! The night was a great success!

MOCA GA President/CEO/Director, Annette Cone-Skelton and Exhibitions and Collections Coordinator, Shana Barefoot introduced Atlanta artist Lucinda Bunnen to the crowd of 100+ people who had gathered to take part in the discussion. Bunnen, who was born in 1930 in Katonah, New York, discussed several artists whose work had influenced her new collection, including Cy Twombly's large calligraphic-style graffiti paintings and the works of Claude Monet. Bunnen describes her work as an attempt to photograph the abstract imagery that she finds so interesting. To her, each piece represents the relationship between earth, sky and water. During the discussion Bunnen revealed that this series of photos is substantially larger than the selection displayed here at MOCA GA. She brought many examples of her work for viewers to admire including some smaller versions of the images in the gallery, joking "I brought some smaller ones because Jerry Cullum wrote in his article, 'They look better big,' but they look just fine this size." Bunnen ended her talk by reading the poem "Birches" by Robert Frost.

MOCA GA Needs Volunteers!

The Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia (MOCA GA) needs volunteers to man the registration desk and greet visitors. We need volunteers to sign up for 10 am - 2 pm or 2 pm - 5 pm shifts Tuesday - Saturdays.

Volunteers are needed to greet visitors, direct them to the various exhibitions, answer simple questions about the exhibitions, hand out literature, encourage visitors to become members and participate in upcoming events, etc. In additions, volunteers will answer the phone, handle general inquiries about directions, exhibitions, opening dates and times, etc. and forward calls to staff members. MOCA GA will provide a brief training course and a volunteer handbook with all the information needed to do the job.

From time to time, volunteers will be asked to help with mailings or other general museum tasks. There will, however, be periods of time when things are very quiet so volunteers are encouraged to bring personal reading materials and/or tasks to fill their time at the reception desk.

Volunteers who help with the registration desk will be given the first opportunity to participate as special event volunteers, helping with our signature events such as MOCA GALA Art Auction, our largest fundraiser in the spring; Off-the-Wall Pin Up Show + Sale in the late fall; Art for Everyone, an off site event in the early fall and other workshops, exhibition openings and artist talks. In addition, our volunteers will be eligible for membership at MOCA GA after only 20 volunteer hours.
