Art Talk: I heart the 70s
January 24, 2007, 5:30 p.m.
Georgia Museum of Art

In 1977, twenty-nine artists, including Gordon Matta-Clark, Laurie Anderson and William Wegman,
gave thirty-one works to the Georgia Museum of Art as a tribute to President Jimmy Carter.
Subsequently called “The Carter Collection, “ these works were immediately displayed at the
Museum in an exhibition entitled: "Open to New Ideas: A Collection of New Art for Jimmy Carter."

Thirty years later, the GMOA is installing this show again, providing the LDSOA community with an
excellent opportunity to consider how much and how little has changed – both in the art world
and beyond.  Held in conjunction with “The Carter Collection Revisited,” this panel will consider
the art of the 1970’s and ask what of substance has changed since the Carter Collection was first
exhibited almost 30 years ago.  As always, art talk is open to the public and invites your
participation.

5. Nina Bovasso
The Cartographer's Podiatrist's Underestimation of a Melancholic Toe (Contemporaneous
Mappings of the Spirit, Body and Mind)
Lamar Dodd School of Art Main Gallery
January 23rd to March 9th, 2007
Reception: January 26th, 2007, 6:30 PM

ARTIST'S GALLERY TALK :
Friday, January 26th, 7:00 pm

With this body of work, Nina Bovasso seeks a harmony rendered through a chaos of "everything
happening at once". Employing a strategy of accumulation of the most basic marks: a dot, a line,
proliferation of color, size, shape and surface texture, Bovasso creates works where design and
pattern have gone amok, defying order. The simple form of a doodle is elevated to the heroic;
playfulness and whimsicality take on a seriousness and rhythm.

6. TARTUFFE by Moliere, adapted by Ranjit Bolt
When: Jan 25-27, 31, Feb 1-3 @ 8:00 pm Feb 4 @ 2:30 pm
Where: Seney-Stoval

In one of the most revered — and controversial — comedies of all time, a religious huckster
infiltrates the home of the gullible Orgon, intent on taking his money, his property, and his wife.
Ranjit Bolt’s fresh, rapid-fire Americanized adaptation of this classical French masterpiece was
first performed to rave reviews by Chicago’s Remy Bumppo Theatre in January 2006.
