The Tannhauser Gate
The Tannhauser Gate
An MFA Thesis Exhibition by P. Seth Thompson
Ontologic (former Solomon Projects Gallery)
1037 Monroe Drive
Atlanta, GA 30306
Richard Wagner’s opera "Tannhäuser" and Ridley Scott’s film "Blade Runner" are ageless myths deconstructed in Joseph Campbell’s "Hero with a Thousand Faces." This is the legend of a hero’s journey, or monomyth, from the physical world’s limitations to absolute awareness of the Jungian “Self,” the totality of the conscious and unconscious mind. Referencing both the film and the opera, "The Tannhauser Gate" examines the image, commencing with the 1986 televised explosion of the Challenger shuttle, as the catalyst in an ontological search of the Self. By highlighting the slowly vanishing boundary between images and our reality this exhibition will uncover the fundamental consequences of image consumption, which results in a compromised identity and a distorted reality. "The Tannhauser Gate" will represent a personal path to enlightenment from the hero’s initial call to adventure from the ordinary world of reality to the supernatural/mythological world of the image and back again.
Opening reception on May 19th, 2012 at 6pm.
Drinks and Hors d'oeuvres provided.

Plastic Gulf
Plastic Gulft
Lee Deigaard at the Odgen Museum in New Orleans
Opening April 19 at the Ogden Museum in New Orleans and will be on exhibit through July 23.
"After the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, fishing lures collected dust on bait store shelves, and fishing boats around the region idled. Marine life choked in the oil-polluted water.
In 'Plastic Gulf,' the decoy becomes the protagonist. Fishing lures forage in a false plastic eden of lush ocean reeds. Without real fish to unmask their imposture, their puppet-like movements simulate life.
In the Pacific Ocean there is a vast island of plastic garbage. Plastics are made from oil. Even before the oil spill, the Gulf of Mexico's dead zones were growing, fed by fertilizer runoff carried by the Mississippi River from industrial farms in the Midwest.
We place a lot of faith in the regenerative powers of the ocean. We want to believe we can restore what we ruin.
In the battle for conservation resources, fish have trouble engaging human sympathies. These plastic fish flirt with the viewer, resist being ignored."

WASTE NOT | Barbara Archer Gallery | Mar 2-24
New works by Justin Rabideau and James Bridges
Curated by Dashboard Co-op, Craig Cameron and Romy Maloon
OPENING, Mar 2, 7 to 10pm
WASTE NOT portrays two artists grappling with change, transformation, and re-interpretation. Justin Rabideau extracts meaning and purpose from forgotten materials, while James Bridges preserves moments by abstracting them to the point of essence. The artists savor everything, letting nothing go to waste.
WASTE NOT AFTER PARTY, 10pm to 12am
Following the opening, hop a bus to The Lawrence! Slated to open in spring, be the first to sample French drink and eat at this swank Midtown foodery! Lily and the Tigers, will make music from found objects, and Chef Shane Devereaux will educate us on the wasteless culinary practices of the French -- stop, it's interesting. At midnight, the bus will return you and your new friends to the Barbara Archer Gallery.
Space is ve-he-he-ry limited, purchase tickets here.

100,000 Cubicle Hours at the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center
ONGOING UNTIL MARCH 24
Press for 100,000 Cubicle Hours:
Felicia Feaster, Creative Loafing
Catherine Fox, Access Atlanta
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.

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.
