2011 YEAR IN REVIEW

In this, our second year of life, Dash welcomed 18 new artists, presented 2 mass exhibitions and 3 experiential productions. We hosted 4 workshops with some of the Atlanta's most revered arts administrators and artists, worked with numerous local organizations and small businesses, and used challenging works of art to breathe life into 8 vacant properties across the city, inspiring rejuvenation -- not only of space -- but of surrounding neighborhoods. Major thanks to all who played along and supported us this year... we are in love with you.

100,000 Cubicle Hours at the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center

January 13 to March 24

Curated by Dash Directors Beth Malone and Courtney Hammond

featuring Nikita Gale, Andrew Hammond, Takuro Masuda, Matt Sigmon

100,000 Cubicle Hours
Humans spend approximately 100,000 hours working—100,000 hours spent away from friends, family, mates, and in some cases, the person we consider ourselves to be. On the job our behavior is appropriate, polite . . . tight. We become unrecognizable, an alter ego. Our office job alter egos have work clothes, a work voice, a work computer, work jargon, agendas, lists, meetings, lunch breaks, conference calls, performance reviews, and cubicles.

Having recently started “real jobs” themselves, the artists in 100,000 Cubicle Hours have created an office environment to give viewers a sense of what it’s like for creative types to bumble around under fluorescent lighting, secretly playing within the gray space in an effort to keep their spirits intact.

Southern Comfort: Photographs and Installation / Lori Vrba

Take in some southern comfort in the form of photographs and installation work by Lori Vrba. Most days you can find her elbow deep in chemistry or chasing the next picture with enthusiasm, die-hard determination and a trustworthy Hasselblad.
