4. GRACELAND by Ellen Byron
When: Jan 18-21 @ 8:00 pm
Where: Arena Theatre (Fine Arts Building, room 151)
GRACELAND is a comedy with a poignant heart that beats to the rhythm of an Elvis Presley song.
The play takes place three days before Elvis’ Graceland mansion opens to the public, where we see
two of Elvis’ super fans engaged in a bitter, yet terribly funny, turf war. Who will be the first inside
the mansion? Will it be Bev (Shana Youngblood, MFA Performance), a no-nonsense bulldog of a
woman who drove all the way from Delaware? Or will it be Rootie (Jacqueline Carey, MFA
Performance), the frail woman-child with a Cover Girl addiction from deep in bayou country? The
women try every tactic to best each other, from insults to brute force to tic-tac-toe, but in the
end, only one of them will be the first inside the mansion. Along the way, the audience learns a
little about hurt and a lot about love and what it means to love a legend.
Tickets are available at the door. Admission is $5, but higher donations are, of course, welcome.
Checks may be made out to Georgia Repertory Theatre. Donations are to help the entire MFA
graduate class travel to New York City and Atlanta in Spring 2009 where they will hold
professional showcases for agents and theatre representatives.

6. Transience: The Paradox of Being
Saturday, January 20 - Sunday, March 4, 2007
Curators Katy Logue Thompson & Christopher MacKay
Opening Reception:
Saturday, January 20, 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.

GALLERY HOURS:
Thursday: 6:00 - 9:00 p.m., Friday, Saturday & Sunday: 1:00 - 6:00 p.m.
With our winter exhibit, we invite you to reflect upon the theme of transience. The most
philosophical of ATHICA’s exhibits to date, the diverse perspectives of these sixteen US artists
inspires contemplation of this universal issue. As the 500 BC philosopher Heraclitus noted,
“Everything flows, nothing stands still.”

7. Changing Tunes: Expanding Music through Technology
Saturday, March 3, 2007, Georgia Tech Campus
The 2007 Dean’s Symposium on the Changing Nature of Practice
titled CHANGING TUNES: Expanding Music through Technology will

revolutionize musical performance, composition, analysis, and
education. Organized in cooperation with the Music Department,
which begins a new Master of Science degree in Music Technology in
2007, scholars and practitioners will discuss ideas and demonstrate
developments in areas ranging from new interfaces for musical
expression and algorithmic composition to music information
retrieval, musical networks, and machine musicianship.
The symposium is jointly sponsored by the Georgia Tech College of
Architecture and the College of Architecture Alumni Committee and
organized by the College and its Music Department. The Symposium
will be held in the Klaus Advanced Computing Building from 9:00 a.m.
to 5:00 p.m. followed by a reception in the Atrium of the West

8. First Call for Abstracts: Deadline February 15, 2007
MutaMorphosis: Challenging Arts and Sciences, International Conference, Prague
International Conference organised by CIANT as part of the ENTER festival in the framework of the
Leonardo 40th anniversary celebrations. The festival will feature also the first retrospective
exhibition of Frank J. Malina.
8th - 10th of November 2007, Prague, Czech Republic
Conference website: http://www.mutamorphosis.org
The conference will explore the major mutations that are affecting the future of our world. We
invite papers from artists, scientists and researchers on the evolution of living beings and the
societies they constitute, and on modes of knowledge, expression and communication of humans,
animals and other forms of life.
‘MutaMorphosis’ seeks a multiplicity of perspectives as well as a qualified and diverse group of
conference participants. The conference will concentrate on the growing interest -- within the
worlds of the arts, sciences and technologies -- in EXTREME AND HOSTILE ENVIRONMENTS. These
environments appear as symptomatic indicators of the mutations that are taking place; they are
potential vectors that make possible an awareness of the different problems at the origin of the
disturbances that threaten the ensemble of the Earth’s eco-systems.
We invite practitioners in the arts, sciences, engineering and humanities to submit abstracts that
explore the limits and extremes within the following streams of interest:
1. LIFE
How do the arts and sciences deal with new ideas about strategies of life in extreme conditions?
Keywords: adaptation, artificial life, bioart, biotechnology, cell, cloning, control, emergence,
ethics, evolution, extremophilia, hybrid, limit, organization, performativity, self-organization,
strategy, survival, symbiogenesis, symbiosis, tissue, transformation, transgression,
transplantation, unpredictability.
2. SPACE
How do the arts and sciences face radical scales and extreme environments?
Keywords: Antarctica, astrophysics, colonisation, climate, dark matter, dark energy, deserts,
deteritorialization, ethics, exobiology, exploration, geotagging, globalization, map, macro, micro,
nano, singularity, outer space, speed, territory, underwater, vacuum.
3. COGNITION
How do the arts and sciences address evolving ideas about cognition in extreme environments?
Keywords: collective intelligence, complexity, connectivity, decision, deficiency, distributed, ethics,
intelligence, dysfunction, emotion, efficiency, information, instrument, handicap, manipulation,
memory, mobility, networked, pathology, perception, sensorial, simulation, system, therapy,
visualization, web 2.0.
All submitted abstracts will be peer reviewed by an international advisory panel. Submissions
accepted and presented at the conference will be published in the conference proceedings.
500-word abstracts required by 31st of January 2007 via email to [log in to unmask]
