    I’ll be speaking at 5pm this evening at Georgia State for the opening of “Shadow Puppets: Traces of New Documentary Practices”, which runs through February 9th. Exhibiting artists include: Daniel Bejar Paul Chan Debbie Grossman Guillermo Gudiño Sergei Isaenko Lamia Joreige Jason Lazarus　 Sanaz Mazinani Michael David Murphy Possible Press Joel Sternfeld “Many of the photographic and video works in this exhibition address politically charged issues by capitalizing on the way that the lens can capture and transform notions of authenticity, perception, and reality. The artists operate within a framework that aims to combat the uniformity and ubiquity of photographs while challenging dominant, and often oppressive, cultural representation. Often deploying reality as a tool that builds an illusion, the resulting works could be considered fables that ask viewers to decipher fact and fiction to gain insight, and search for elements of truth within the constructions.” Free and open to the pubic. Gallery hours: Monday - Friday 10am - 6pm. Closed weekends and University holidays. 10 Peachtree Center Avenue, Atlanta, GA 30303.

    Phonar, the “free and open undergraduate photography class” at Coventry University in the UK, tackled Unphotographable this month, with students making multimedia presentations based on my text. Josie Sutton produced my favorite piece, based on this from 2007.

    “This is a picture I did not take of an illustration of a bluebird on a page torn from a child’s textbook, nor is this a picture of the illustration as it fell from the low branches of a tree, where it had been trapped like trash beside a plastic bag, and when the page was blown from the tree, it fell to the ground slowly, the illustration facing me like a reminder of a bluebird, and when it landed at my feet, the illustration spun a bit in the wind, as if the bird knew it wasn’t meant for this, and would try everything it could to flap up off that page.”

    “This is a Picture…” opens Saturday in Vevey, Switzerland, and I have work in the show with one of my favorite artists, Erik Kessels. Michael Chylinski’s found photographs round-out the selection. It’s on view through Sept. 30th, as part of Vevey’s “Festival Images”. My work in the show consists of hand-drawn pieces from Unphotographable. If you speak French, apparently there will be translations available. Wish I could attend! (Too busy running Atlanta’s photo festival and being a dad, it seems!)

    I have an installation of unphotographables that will be on view at Atlanta Photography Gallery at Tula on Bennett St. The show is called Outside the Frame, opens June 8th, and features work from six “special guest artists” in addition to a juried open call.
