5. ICE-Vision: Touch of Evil (Orson Welles, 1958)
Thursday, January 19 at 8 PM
Lamar Dodd School of Art Room S150
Film Studies major Will Stephenson continues ICE's informal weekly series, selecting a variety of
world cinema classics and subcultural curiosities.
"Made in 1958, it was Orson Welles's last Hollywood film, and in it he makes transcendent use of
the American technology his genius throve on; never again would his resources be so rich or his
imagination so fiendishly baroque. Welles stars as the sheriff of a corrupt border town who finds
his nemesis in visiting Mexican narcotics agent Charlton Heston; the witnesses to this weirdly
gargantuan struggle include Janet Leigh, Marlene Dietrich, Akim Tamiroff, and Joseph Calleia, who
holds the film's moral center with sublime uncertainty." -Dave Kehr (Chicago Reader)
"Touch of Evil, the project with which - some 16 years after Citizen Kane - the 42-year-old Orson
Welles tried (and failed) to stage a Hollywood comeback, is a movie of transcendent movie-ness
and still-astonishing virtuosity . . . Touch of Evil effectively rung down the curtain on one of the
most fertile movements in American popular culture." -J. Hoberman (Village Voice)

Our 44th exhibition, Southern, features many never-before-seen works which explore the
emotional depth and aesthetic diversity of nine artists - spanning four generations - who are
interrelated in their "radical contemporaneity." Through photography, video, and sculpture, they
present an aesthetically rich installation that questions boundaries between art and religion,
aesthetic and documentary practice, and folk and fine art.

11. Call For Entries: Atlanta Temporary Public Art
Deadline: Sunday, February 12
http://www.callforentry.org/festivals_unique_info.php?ID=911
Since 1998, Atlanta Celebrates Photography has supported Atlanta's emergence as an international
center for photography. We are launching our call for entries for ACP's 2012 Public Art Project! We
are looking for creative ideas for lens-based (or light-based, or photo-based, etc.) temporary
public art projects for our October Festival. There is a $9,000.00 honorarium and it is free to enter.
Eligibility: Any artist as an individual or team may apply, provided that the person(s) or firm who
will be responsible for the actual fabrication and/or construction of the piece(s) have had previous
experience in the medium(s) proposed, which must be disclosed in detail in the application form.
Media: No media restrictions have been established in order to ensure maximum creativity for
participating artists. However, since ACP is an organization that promotes all things photographic,
it is a requirement that your project involve lens-based or photographic media as an integral part
of the piece (this includes images and/or video captured by a lens, or media in which light
sensitivity is a primary element of the material, or reimagining the uses of photography, or
possibilities of imagery made with light).

12. ATHICA Call for Entries: Upcycle
Deadline for Submissions extended to Feb. 20, 2012
Run Dates: March 31- May 20, 2012
http://athica.org/callforentries.php
Upcyling is distinct from recycling in that no energy is expended returning materials to a raw form
to be used in the production of new objects; exisiting waste items are upgraded to marketable
products or fine art objects through creative re-use. Upcyling focuses on uses for production
waste that cannot be recycled easily or at all, such as used styrofoam cups, ziplock bags or bottle
caps, saving them from a destiny as landfill fodder.
Submissions of wearable art, home decor, architectural design and other innovative product
designs are encouraged, as well as fine art objects that use items currently difficult to recycle or
un-recyclable, such as clam-shell foam take-out containers, foam packaging, laundry detergent
caps, resin or paint coated scrap wood, or out-moded electronics whose combined and/or toxic
materials are too time-consuming or dangerous to cost-effectively break-down for recycling.
Conceptual projects and new media works that address these issues will also be considered.
Proposals of performances, lectures or presentations that adress upcycling are also encouraged.
