UGA 2011 MFA graduate An Pham is featured in the Atlanta Journal Constitution! Pham’s work is featured in Spruill Gallery’s “Emerging Artists 2011” show.  From the article: “The artist works with a wide palette of materials, from handmade paper and old books to plastic strips, scotch tape and – most wondrously in this exhibit — rubber bands. Pham crochets, plaits, knots, coils and otherwise manipulates this mundane item into mysterious sculptures, which she presents like the gifts they are in hand-made boxes. It’s a good thing that Pham wants you to touch them because they are irresistibly tactile. They also give off that rubber-band smell and, more profoundly, the feeling of intensity that comes from the hours of repetition and minute manipulations that making these works require. She manipulates books and their pages with similar inventiveness. I’m watching her.” Read the entire article here: http://www.accessatlanta.com/atlanta-events/lucha-rodriguez-at-swan-1143048.html Visit Pham’s website here: http://www.an-pham.com/

The Lamar Dodd School of Art’s director, Georgia Strange, has work being shown as part of an exhibition in SOHO20. “For Soho20’s National Affiliate artists, change in women’s personal and political spheres demands new methods and new definitions of what it is to make art. This cohesive group of thirteen mid-career artists from the Midwest, South, and northeastern states offers a national cross-section of views of female experience and the feminist agenda. The range of works include language-based explorations of Thoreau’s Walden, social narratives of Mexican migrant farm-workers, intercultural collaboration with Ghanaian villagers, exploration of paleo-photography, environmental installation, drawing, mixed media, print-making, and sculpture. Many of the artists develop their ideas as college teachers, curators, poets, and arts activists. All are committed to exploring new forms and strategies for understanding female development, intimacy, eroticism, and political commitment. Although geographically dispersed, they maintain an active dialogue on feminist issues, aesthetic values, and individual artistic growth, culminating in an annual group show at Soho20 Chelsea.” http://www.soho20gallery.com/New/exhibitions.html Imaginary Friend: Blue, 2010
On exhibition in Gallery 307 in the Lamar Dodd School of Art through May 7th: Kathy Prescott TRANSLUCENT FUSIONS ““Drawing with other people’s marks” is the way Kathy Prescott describes her transfer collages rendered on wood board. They display her reverence for images, whether masterpieces of Western painting, nineteenth-century photographs, examples of pastry tip patterns from Martha Stewart Living or advertisements for Victoria’s Secret lingerie and Spanish cocktail olives.”- Asen Kirin http://art.uga.edu/index.php?pt=3&id=238
