Cecelia Kane is the featured artist in “Mission Accomplished” at ATHICA: Athens Institute for Contemporary Art, where her Hand to Hand Project is on exhibition until September 26. Begun at the start of the Iraq war in 2003, Kane opened the project to contributions from other artists in 2006. Each artist has created a hand-based piece for each day of a week based on the news coming out of Iraq. The project is now made up of work by an international group of nearly 200 artists of all levels and disciplines and has been shown throughout the U.S.

We traveled up to Athens this weekend to chat with the good folks at ATHICA. Here I talk with president and artistic director Lizzie Zucker Saltz about the genesis of the Athens Institute for Contemporary Art, its mission and their current show, “Mission Accomplished.” This is one of three parts. Coming up I have interviews with artists Cecelia Kane and Jimbo Buonaccorsi.

Dali prints at Artist Trifecta

Admin — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 16:46:11 +0000

Here we have a brief look at the Dali, Rembrandt and Goya prints over at the Artist Trifecta gallery in Castleberry Hill. I’d love to own one or several of these, but will have to pass that opportunity along to you. Apologies for the quality, it was a quick visit. See them in person, along with an exhibition from the gallery’s photo scavenger hunts.
