SATURDAY PROGRAM

Johnny Cohen - CUBE GALLERY

Plastics, by Johnny Cohen, will guide you through the beauty and deconstruction of mass produced plastics, from inspiration and deconstruction, to reconfiguration and scale, allowing you to experience the world of consumerism through a fine art lens.

Show is open through May 15.

1. Floyd Hall will present Seeing + Sounds, featuring a sidewalk installation and a series of streaming recorded audio content.

2. Arvin Temkar will present “Precious Objects.” He will be distributing copies of his recent essay from the Bitter Southerner called “The Pandemic Makes Me Miss My Cowboy Hat,” and he will ask participants to reflect on one of their own precious objects in words and pictures.

3. Matriarc Society will hold an all-women and queer-folks jam session, open to the public.

4. Dance Hub ATL Performance Schedule - IN-PERSON and VIRTUAL

2:45pm, 3:45pm - 15 minutes sessions - outdoors and live streamed

Nadya Zeitlin will activate the outside patio and green terrace in front of the Dance Hub ATL studio. She is in the process of research for Archs and Textures site-specific work, inspired by Socialist Modernism style in architecture. For the duration of the afternoon audiences will have the opportunity to create their own Archs and Textures objects via elements provided by Nadya.

3:00pm, 5:00pm - indoors and live streamed

Frankie Mulinix (Vandellous) in collaboration with Jase Wingate are creating performances based on hysteria and their research into the stories of women in psychiatric hospitals with that diagnosis and the role of photography in establishing the practice of psychology. They will share a butoh piece, Wandering Uterus, and a part of a clowning/butoh piece, Release Me, Release My Body.

Jessica Bertram will share her work-in-progress entitled the feminine divine/bloody sacrifices in collaboration with Brit Leland.

5. SILENT LIBRARY | Jasmine Nicole Williams and Sierra King have curated a group of people to engage with Sierra's Library currently installed in the studio. Open to guest at 2:45 and 4:45 pm. Participants are encouraged to bring their own books, blankets and chairs to read with us for the day. Minimal interaction and talking will occur and masks will be worn at all times.

6. Jessica Brooke Anderson offers 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.

7. Visit the Teller Productions Workshop to observe Scottie Rowell filming the next installment of Rough Hand Ballet, a new video series, 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.

8. Genesis Park Adams (aka FRANK/ie CONSENT) will make a collaborative piece with anyone who wants to participate that includes painting, sound and movement. Beginning with a large painting, they will use a chance operation to disassemble it, and create a soundscape/song for each piece. They will then experiment with rearranging the songs and animating the painting through movement. Genesis will use this as an opportunity to curate play with other people and engage in a healing creation process.
