1. 6x6 Media Arts Event: Relief
Wednesday, December 1 at 7 PM
Cine
http://hexadic.blogspot.com
There will be a lot to be relieved about once this 6X6 has its way with you: curator Sabrina Cuadra
will help you have a cathartic meltdown this Wednesday, December 1 from 7-8pm at the Cine Lab.
Faster, funner, and freer than psychotherapy, Relief will feature works from Mexico, Spain,
California, Texas, Romania, and little old Athens. Haircuts, soapsuds, deranged women - when it's
all over, nothing will ever bother you again. Or at least until the next 6X6.
About 6X6: A series of media arts events in Athens, Georgia, open for submission to anyone from
anywhere in the world. Video, film, sound, performance, or combination. Six minutes or less.
Shorter can be better! Next up: Time, curated by Brian Hitselberger. Submit by January 21.
About The Curator: Sabrina Cuadra's work is a mixture of of performance art, sound art, and video
art, influenced by her Argentine and Miami heritage. Under the moniker "Whistling School for
Boys" she performs in rock show settings, combining light, color, found photos and footage with
original music and audience participation, shining a light on the ordinary. She seeks to redefine
artist-audience boundaries, shattering expectations that any audience might have. Since 2006,
WSFB has had appearances at the New Art School's Rock vs. Art VII at the glorious underground
pub Churchill's in Miami's Little Haiti, at Electronic SubSouth's first Women Of Electronic Music
showcase in Gainesville, Florida, the Athens Popfest at Little Kings Shuffle Club, Flicker Theater &
Bar, and ATHICA. WSFB has also projected videos during concerts by the Microphones, Everybody
Everybody, 63 Crayons, Flash to Bang Time and Soul Spectacular dance parties in Athens. Her video
collaboration with Connie Mae Oliver for Animal Collective's "Purple Bottle" has been viewed over
300,000 times on Youtube. Nobody leaves a WSFB performance without excitement and/or
confusion.

4. Lecture: Dr. Alisa Luxenberg
Thursday, December 2 at 5 PM
Lamar Dodd School of Art Room 150
Botanical Art, (Al)chemical Magic: Celedonio de Arce's Nature Printing in 18th-century Spain
A little-known printing process, invented by the Spanish artist Celedonio de Arce in 1777, was
said to "print from nature all kinds of botanical leaves without the use of plates." This invention
was considered a promising tool for botanists, whose discoveries served pharmacology, medicine,
agriculture, and horticulture, and especially those on the scientific expedition to Peru financed by
the Spanish crown that same year. As nature printing was believed to allow plants to make their
own images, the resulting prints were invested with the authenticity of nature and the objectivity
of autogenesis. Later, photography similarly would be considered "the pencil of nature' and acquire
a certain truthfulness based on its naturalistic images as well as its optical device and chemical
processing.
