2021-03-13 Hambidge Second Saturday STUDIO TOUR at the Cross-Pollination Art Lab Lindbergh Center
SCHEDULE
• In the Cube Gallery (noon-4pm) you will find "The Space Between," a new project from Dr. Fahamu Pecou that works to dispel the pervasive myth of violence and discord within the Black male community, and seeks to both normalize expressions of care, concern, and compassion while challenging the pervasive image of Black violence and trauma.
• Jessica Brooke Anderson will be offering visitors (one at a time) an opportunity to select a gift from her collection of family objects. She recently inherited 3 houses worth of heirlooms, and is using this opportunity to redistribute these items to the community. In exchange for "adopting" a piece of her family history, she is asking to photograph each object with its new owner, in hopes of creating a new family tree, made up of strangers, all interconnected through the lives and objects that came before.
• Participate in a self-led writing exercise / creativity booster in the space outside of Arvin Temkar’s studio. Arvin is a writer and photographer whose work examines complexity, tension, and hope in a multiracial, multiethnic America, and has been published in major publications across the country. He will also be displaying some of his photography in the windows of his studio.
• Visit the Teller Productions Workshop to observe artist Scottie Rowell’s shadow puppet play time and experience Push. Press. Pull., an ever-changing art installation exploring human’s love of buttons. Only one family/group/pod allowed in the space at time.
• Jasmine Williams and Sierra King are excited to share with the public in progress works across both of their disciplines of printmaking and archiving. The public at large is welcomed into their space, limited to 2 at time, to view THROUGHLINE - where the lives of Black Women Artists intersect. Additionally there will be limited edition "I AM WOMAN" tote bags that were hand printed in the art lab and older edition prints available to purchase by Jasmine Nicole Williams.
• FRANK/ie CONSENT will present ‘Love Shrines,’ their first installation of shared things, in which their new album (collaborated with The Cradle) will play with casual, non-demanding events happening and video documentation of their recent love baptism. After the installation, there will be a live music performance by FRANK/ie CONSENT and the generosities of people they love. The performance will begin around 5:30.
• Floyd Hall will be presenting Seeing + Sounds, featuring a series of streaming recorded audio content in addition to visual projections.
• From 2-3:30, Matriarc Society will be providing a photo shoot session with a local femme music maker at no cost. Guests may observe the process from the windows on the corner of Magnolia Lane and Morosgo Drive.
• Dance Hub ATL residents are approaching this event as an open process with space to have conversations if visitors are interested in learning more. Four artists - Porter Grubbs, Catherine Messina, Frankie Mulinix and Nadya Zeitlin - will share glimpses of their current creations. In addition to performances, we will introduce a new addition to our Hub - installations by Dima Alekseyev. For more details and updates, check their Instagram page @dance_hub_atl.

This painting has a story behind it. A doctor friend of mine came to me and asked me to reproduce this picture for him. He told me that the little girl in the picture has a terminal illness, and probably wouldn't live much longer. I felt honored to be asked to do such a painting. In the painting her father is holding his daughter, and the doctor told me that they praying so that she might get better. I don't know how the little girl is doing, but I am moved everytime I see this painting, or a photo of it.

I am in a big breath training this weekend. I rise at 4 am each day, entering the ambrosial pre-dawn hours of stillness and quiet.
A very unusual indoor selfie practice today, though I cherish the rose gold glow cast by soft lights in my practice space. A moment of lovingly touching in.
This quote hung on Dorothea Lange's dark room door:
"The contemplation of things as they are, without error or confusion, without substitution or imposture, is in itself a nobler thing than a whole harvest of invention."
~ Francis Bacon
In our daily lives we may not particularly like what we hear and see, but when one has the courage to contemplate these things without error, confusion, or our imagination, then one is in a nobler place where compassion will come forth.
Compassion for one's self...,
Compassion for another...
Dorothea Lange held a compassionate eye behind her camera.

Was there a passer-by with compassion for this poor nude statue
in the cold or did the artist have second thoughts?
