Elevate: Art Above Underground

MOVING DAY!

2011-09-13T11:39:00.000-07:00

Elevate / Art Above Underground presents an international live performance

this Friday, Sept 16 from 5:00 to 7:00 pm

and Saturday, Sept 17th from 2:00 to 4:00 pm

MICROFICTIONS ATL

is based on a performance in Paris now redesigned for Atlanta's Underground and ELEVATE art installations.

Experience performance artists from French theatre collective Dérézo in town to collaborate with Atlanta's Théâtre du Rêve for EIGHT site-specific performances culminating in a live jazz concert with local and French musicians.

Meet at the Fountain Plaza in Underground.

Visitors will tour each performance in small groups led by a docent from Théâtre du Rêve. Tours begin and end at the Fountain Plaza where the entire crowd will be treated to a brilliant live concert by Electro Jazz Collaboration with Arnaud Hugonie of Atlanta and Yann Gueguen of Brest, France.

You'll never see your city the same way again, as hidden corners and balconies are redefined and reactivated.

The Microfiction performance project is based on a novel by French writer Régis Jauffret called Microfictions, winner of the 2007 France Culture/Telerama Literary Prize. Microfictions features 500 short stories, each just one and a half pages long celebrating the diversity, fragility, and above all the commonality of the human condition. Microfictions was performed in Paris in 2008 during a nine-hour event at the Theatre du Rond-Point on the Champs Elysées.

Now, Théâtre du Rêve brings Microfictions to The ATL as a remarkable urban experience that breathes life into unexpected places through storytelling, highlighting subtleties in the familiar that often go unnoticed. Eight site-specific performances will be performed in different styles including puppetry. The production molds itself to Atlanta’s urban landscape for the first time bringing together artists from France and Atlanta to create an interactive art experience that travels from place to place.

Microfiction is a project of Elevate/ Art Above Underground, an initiative of the City of Atlanta Office of Cultural Affairs Public Art Program

SARAH EMERSON

That's a pretty cool shot

"Zero Mile"

Zero Mile is a site-specific window installation of colored translucent vinyl covering. Titled after the first post marking the city limits, this piece is a vision of the imagined past of the Atlanta territory built up, burned, and built again. It includes imagery inspired by the post-civil war landscape of Georgia. In the day, the image appears opaque and colorful, at night the image is illuminated with interior lights.

2011-08-18T08:40:00.000-07:00

CARLOS EGUIGUREN

"NYC", one of Carlos' prints. Crazy awesome.

"Untitled"

Carlos Eguiguren's photography is a fusion of architecture and music exposed through a lens, the result of which is an abstract image of both. His award-winning work has been shown in Santiago and Paris and published in two books. Carlos resides in Santiago, Chile but he flew all the way to Atlanta to be a part of Elevate! He arrived in Atlanta about a week ago to photograph the city and is currently in NYC putting the final touches on his images. He will be exhibiting two large prints on plexiglass. You don't wanna miss this one. More of his work can be seen here.

2011-08-15T06:51:00.000-07:00

LISA TUTTLE & ALICE LOVELACE

It's beautiful and educational!

"Harriet Rising"

Harriet Rising is a visual arts project with a performance component, created in collaboration between Lisa Tuttle, visual artist, and Alice Lovelace, poet/performer. 8 columns of Upper Alabama Street are now beginning to be covered in repeated images of Harriet Tubman with aligning poetry pieces by Alice Lovelace. Harriet Rising covers the Civil War to Civil Rights, bringing renewed attention to Harriet Tubman’s historical importance while drawing parallels between Underground Atlanta and the Underground Railroad. It also lifts the visibility of courageous women and organizations working today for human rights, particularly those working on behalf of minorities and women. Using imagery, text and amplified by poetry performance, Harriet Rising is a dynamic visual, poetic, and educational experience to visitors and locals walking along Upper Alabama Street. More views can be seen here and here and here.

DEANNA SIRLIN

"Celestial Flow"

This is where it's gonna be installed!

What? You think it’s too hot to go to Underground Atlanta for an outdoor art exhibit? Rests assure you won’t be feeling the heat once you see this art work. Celestial Flow is a painting of an abstracted image of water flowing over rocks, “flowing” down 5 sets of stairs near the corner of Alabama and Pryor Street like a cascading river. The colors are clear blues: cerulean, cobalt and ultramarine; making the area feel like an island of coolness in an otherwise hot urban landscape. The artist hopes that visitors will sit on the painting, eat lunch on it, read a book or otherwise enjoy the painting!

SUNDAY SOUTHERN ART REVIVAL

"Preacher"

SSAR began install this week of a large-scale layered mural on a two-story storefront on Alabama Street, right in the heart of Underground Atlanta. The image of the “Preacher” will be presented on the façade of the two-story building. The image is a figure suggesting elevation, conjuring a rising up from the ashes; an iconic image for the current transitional state of Underground Atlanta.

RICHARD ARNOLD

"Hidden Perception"

Hidden Perception is a series of pieces using messages that the viewer can only read with a mobile phone or digital camera. The messages will be produced by infrared LEDs and placed on boxes hung in store fronts throughout Underground Atlanta. The viewer will only know to use their mobile device by reading the signage indicating where a message is located. This experience encourages the participant to think about how the tactile world can have multiple layers of perspective. The use of a mobile phone or digital camera carries meaning as well; using technology to alter reality makes a statement about the future of the human experience.

RUTH STANFORD

"Promise"

Today's "spotlight" (haha...get it?) is on Ruth Stanford's Promise,which is a single vertical beam of light that will mark the location of Underground Atlanta. It will shine in a manner that lies midway between memorial and celebration. The light beam will be neither stationary like a memorial nor in the wide-sweeping motion of an event promotion. Instead, the beam projects upward and moves uncertainly- just enough to step away from “memorial” and hint that something just might be happening. The ambiguity of the motion when compared to two commonly recognized uses of light beams reflects the ambiguity of Underground Atlanta and suggests that although the area may be clinging to life, there remains hope for resurrection.

2011-08-04T07:37:00.000-07:00

SIGNS FOR DIMES

Ooo, mighty fine!

"Window Shopping"

You may have seen Sign For Dimes’ old-school hand-painted advertisements appearing on the walls and windows of your favorite businesses around town. Well, add Underground Atlanta to the list because Signs For Dimes is installing a transformative display for Elevate//Art Above Underground! Window Shopping will transform vacant storefronts to display an alternate shopping experience: “Love Shop”, “Friend Emporium”, “Respect Store” and other items money cannot buy. The faux storefronts are a nostalgic reference to the way Atlanta’s shopping districts would have appeared in the early 20^th century. The project will be bright, colorful, compelling and humorous, and the viewer will be left reminded that the things we love the most can’t be bought in stores.

TWO KIDS & A DREAM

Wha Cha Don’t Wanna Tap Into

Two Kids And A Dream will present Wha Cha Don’t Wanna Tap Into, an exhilarating and thought provoking performance blending dance, live music and visual art. The performance asks questions like “What happens when emotions are exposed?” “What happens when we let go?” One answer: Come see what happens......

Two Kids And A Dream will perform September 23rd. If you're in the Underground Atlanta area you will be ambushed by a healthy dose of performance art (20 mind-blowing performers) that will make you stop in your tracks!

The video speaks for itself. Dear readers, Wha-cha don’t wanna tap into???

Doodledrag is an ongoing drawing gathering and experiment; the brainchild of doodling mates Marissa Paternoster and LNY. We like to get people together, drink, talk and come up with different ideas and challenges for each other that are all about drawing.

The Doodlers will be meeting in Union Square, next to the Washington Statue, and riding the train all the way to Coney Island. Participants are asked to bring drawing utensils, paper, and tape — D. Drag encourages the riders to post their work up on the subway walls, as well as distribute their art to “jaded New Yorkers.” To that I say, we’ll show you jaded!

NATHAN SHARRATT
Be My Blood Brother
"I am interested in exploring common denominators on a primordial elevation; how we're all connected at the most basic human levels."
-Nathan Sharratt

Nathan works to eliminate boundaries that keep us from making new connections and reaches out to the audience for participation on a personal level.

Nathan Sharratt studied Film at Pratt Institute and received a BFA in Sculpture in 2011 (expected) from the Savannah College of Art & Design.This explains the various array of media in all of his work.

Be My Blood Brother focuses on performance and relies on heavily on a contribution from the viewer - putting trust in to his audience that they will not shy away from co-facilitating the piece.

You may find more on Nathan's work at www.NathanSharratt.com and experience his piece on August 26th at our Grand Opening of Elevate!
