1. Artist Willie Cole, the Lamar Dodd Professorial Chair, will give a lecture on Tuesday, September
28 at 5:30 p.m. in room 101 of the Student Learning Center.

Drawing on his extensive knowledge of African art history, Cole creates prints, assemblages and
installations that reveal connections between African spiritual traditions, domestic work, slavery
and consumerism. His work often consists of, or is created through, discarded domestic objects –
irons, ironing boards, hair dryers and women’s shoes. He considers it necessary for these to be
previously used items, sensing that they carry with them some  of the spirit of the original user.

Cole’s work can be found in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York
(where he had a solo show in 1998), The National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, the Whitney
Museum of American Art in New York, the Yale University Gallery  and the New York Public Library.
He has earned a Joan Mitchell  Foundation Award, The Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Grant, a
Wheeler Foundation Grant and The Penny McCall Foundation Grant. He has served in several
artist-in-residence programs, including the Capp Street Project in San Francisco and The Studio
Museum in Harlem.

4.  ART PAPERS announces its first-ever Young Writers Contest, providing a national showcase for
arts writers 25 years old and under.

AWARDS > ART PAPERS' editorial team will select the three best essays for publication in ART
PAPERS. The winning writers will work with the editors to prepare their articles for publication.

First prize: $1,500; Second prize: $1,000; Third prize: $500.

As a condition of publication, winning writers will enter into the standard form agreement with Art
Papers.

TOPICS > Feature essays are invited on contemporary visual art (i.e.: emphasizing art being
exhibited currently and made in the last two years). The article may focus on a single work or
small group of works, the career of an artist with emphasis on his or her most recent work and
works in progress, or a current regional, national or international tendency in the visual arts
(which could be aesthetic, philosophical, thematic or of some other type). Current literature or
exhibitions likely will be relevant, but essays should not be merely extended reviews of books or
shows.

 ART PAPERS' standard conflict of interest policy applies: <http://www.artpapers.org/editorial/
editorial_writersguidelines.htm>

FORMAT > Entries should be 2600 words long. ART PAPERS addresses lay enthusiasts as well as
arts professionals, so entries should be thoroughly researched but wear that background lightly.
Rather than opening with a scholarly summary of their argument, successful entries will begin with
an engaging lede and carry that momentum through to the conclusion.

 Entries must be hardcopy in 12 point type, double-spaced and single-sided, accompanied by a
cover sheet listing the writer's name, date of birth, email address and telephone number, as well
as the essay's title. Of this information, only the title should appear on the manuscript. Entries
also must include clear reproductions of all images discussed (clear black & white photocopies or
printouts are fine). Entries will not be returned and must be original, unpublished work. Entries
may not be currently under consideration by any other publication, nor may winning entries be
submitted to any other publication prior to their publication in ART PAPERS.

ELIGIBILITY > This contest is open to anyone who on July 1, 2004 is 25 years of age or younger.
Writers who previously have had writing accepted by ART PAPERS are not eligible. Nor are current
or past members of the ART PAPERS organization or their immediate families, including staff,
board, freelance contractors or interns.

ENTRY FEE > Entries must include a $25 entry fee by check or postal money order payable to ART
PAPERS. Entries accompanied by NSF checks will be disqualified. Multiple entries are allowed, but
each entry must be received separately, with a separate fee. All participants will receive a
complimentary one-year subscription to ART PAPERS.

DEADLINE > Entries must be received by  October 1, 2004 at:

 ART PAPERS
 PO Box 5748
Atlanta, GA 31107

Winners will be notified in December and announced in the January/February 2005 issue.

5. An evening of experimental music by16-String Hungarian Guitarist Sándor Szabó & the
Georgian Contemporary Unit.

Wednesday, September 29th, 2004, 8:00 - 9:30 p.m. Doors open 7:30 p.m. for gallery viewing.
Suggested donation $9 - $13

ATHICA: Athens Institute for Contemporary Art is pleased to present an unprecedented evening of
experimental music by the Georgian Contemporary Unit (GCU), a locally-based string ensemble,
which will include solos by well-known 16-string master guitarist Sándor Szabó, who is making a
rare
visit to Athens from his homeland in Vács, Hungary. Szabó enthralls audiences with brilliant
interpretations of Jimi Hendrix-tunes, traditional Hungarian Folk tunes, as well as his own
compositions. The other members of the GCU are Atlantans Colin Bragg (guitar) and Blake Helton
(percussion), locals Kyle Dawkins (guitar), Brian Smith and Erik Hinds (Harpeggione), the founder
of Solponticello who organized the evening. Kyle Dawkins and Brian Smith are also of the Georgia
Guitar Quartet. The GCU, who draw their inspiration from trance, folk and improvisational styles to
create an immersive sound experience, received critical acclaim for their 2002 debut album, The
View You Never Get.
