Absence of Need:Images of Urban Abandon
A business moves to a more profitable location. Logos and other identifying signs are removed but the architecture is instantly recognizable. A car dealership suddenly fails leaving behind acres of asphalt and empty showrooms. Remnants of a former need, these structures are now useless or impractical. The images presented are not historic sites or famous landmarks. They were built to serve a commercial purpose and are are altogether disposable. Still you drive by and think, wasn’t a muffler shop there, or a Shoney’s? Place and memory are connected. Even if it was a fast food restaurant you remember. These empty sites are part of an interior landscape that resist change.
Vacated properties become a ghost town. You look in a window and see discarded furniture, closed doors, a darkened room. People occupied this space on a daily basis and now they are gone. A building once occupied this corner and now it is gone. Memory traces are everywhere. Sun bleached signs, office documents scattered on the floor recall a purpose no longer required. They’ll stay where they are until future occupation, renovation or demolition. Then they will be slowly forgotten. All of the photographs were taken in the Atlanta and Decatur area during the past six months.
Oliver Smith, 2008
This exhibit runs through June 14.

LA's Foot Village, feat members of Gang Wizard (Ecstatic Peace/Load) and Friends Forever (Load), are bringing drums to your town. And nothing more. This is no electricity hardcore. No jamming. No drum circles. Just solid hardcore played with 4 drum kits and a ton of boy/girl screaming.
Foot Village have created their own country and the songs on their new album, Friendship Nation, are reports on what life in Foot Village is like. It is a nation unlike any other and only by visiting can you really know. Life is fucking beautiful.
Opening up will be Atlanta's Autistic Mother...raking the sonic spectrum with all manner of electronic noisy manipulations...so nice.

HEADACHE INFERNO
A Play Written/Directed/Acted by William D. Tucker
Evenson takes pictures. He works his subjects hard (homeless people, lunatics, prostitutes, curious and willing members of the upper classes, students), and pays them well. Evenson keys into a seismic, migraine-brain-explosion inducing abyss of madness/playfulness within himself-and the work just keeps getting better and better. Come see a man martyr himself for the imagery!

The Sean Bell shooting incident took place in New York City on November 25, 2006, an unarmed African-American man was shot and killed and two others wounded by plainclothes New York Police Department detectives (two of whom were themselves African-American) in a hail of 50 bullets. The incident sparked fierce criticism of the police from the public and drew comparisons to the 1999 killing of Amadou Diallo. Three of the five detectives involved in the shooting went to trial on charges ranging from manslaughter to reckless endangerment, but were found not guilty
We gather in support of the Bell Family and to bring attention to the issue of Police Brutality nationwide and across Georgia.
