1. "The Xerces Society, Installment VI: Sir Samuel Cropia’s Public Laboratory"
On view at the Georgia Museum of Art
September 11-October 10, 2004
Special performance: September 17, 7-9pm
Director: Laleh Mehran
Contact: <[log in to unmask]>
This exhibition is a collaborative project led by Laleh Mehran, a professor
in the digital media department of the Lamar Dodd School of Art, University
of Georgia. Mehran is working with students and faculty from the Lamar Dodd
School of Art, the Georgia Museum of Natural History and the Department of
Entomology in transforming the Letitia and Rowland Radford Study Collection
Gallery into a laboratory of art and science.
The intersections of art, science and politics have become increasingly
blurred. This installment of “The Xerces Society” displays the typical
workplace of a lepidopterist who harbors a fanatical devotion to his
butterflies and beliefs. Regular performances by various laboratory players
will help reveal the malevolent nature of Sir Cropia’s research and
methodologies. The intentions of “The Xerces Society” installations, which
are entering their sixth year, are to explore the complexities of fanaticism
and ideology under the auspices of art and science.
Looking for:
-Installers: anyone willing to help install the show. Install dates are
September 4 – 10.
-Performers (no previous acting, art or science experience is required –
although it may be helpful depending on the character):
Characters:

- OCEA team
- Lab technicians

- Scientist in the field
- Message courier
- Visitors (possible investors)
Exhibition dates: September 11 – October 10

4. Eyedrum, a non-profit art/music organization and gallery in Atlanta, is looking for an
instructor or instructors for it new "Video for Artists" workshop series projected for February
2005. These classes will be geared towards artists who would like to learn more about working
with video and using it in their work. The classes will be spread over 3 Saturday or Sunday
sessions. Eyedrum members will attend free of charge, others will pay tuition fees per session or
for the series. There will be a negotiable honorarium available to the instructor(s).Topics to be
covered should include:
-Basic equipment (cameras, projectors, software and hardware)
-Video recording (emphasis on digital but including support for analog users)
-Analog to digital video conversion
-Video editing
-Video output
Other topics may be suggested by instructor(s), Eyedrum facilitators, or students. Teaching
experience is a plus but if you are an otherwise experienced video artist, digital filmmaker, or
video technician, know your stuff, and can share it effectively with a newbie send an email to
Richard Gess <[log in to unmask]> or Hormuz Minina <[log in to unmask]>. For more
