Uneasy Heavens Await Those Fleeing: A Celebration of Art and Armageddon

I am so excited about this event!

Uneasy Heavens Await Those Fleeing, 2009, acrylic, ink, glitter, 30 x 60"

Jennifer Borges Foster is bringing together writers, musicians, dancers, painters, photographers, performance artists and more to re-interpret the title of her first completed poetry manuscript, Uneasy Heavens Await Those Fleeing.

This project is made possible through the generous support of the Mayor's Office of Art & Cultural Affairs and 4Culture.

* Hence the title of that piece. Months ago Jennifer Borges Foster asked a bunch of friends to participate in an event she planned around a reading of a piece entitled, you guessed it, Uneasy Heavens Await Those Fleeing. This piece is my response to that title.

LIVE VIDEO BROADCAST from The Sketchbook Project

LIVE VIDEO BROADCAST from The Sketchbook Project in Atlanta, GA tonight!
Tonight marks the first exhibition on the Sketchbook Project tour. We will be broadcasting it live over the internet so that people who can't make it to the exhibition in person can have a chance to view the show and see how people interact with it. The show tonight also features the work of Emily Maxwell.

The show starts at 7:00pm EST and runs until 10:30pm. To view the broadcast, simply go to: http://arthousecoop.com/projects/sketchbookproject/broadcast.

Please note that because tonight's show is at our own gallery, this is unfortunately the only exhibition on the tour that we are able to broadcast. Also, the broadcast is limited to up to 50 viewers at a time, so if you aren't actively viewing it, please close the window to allow others a chance to!

In my sketchbook, Everyone We Know is Going to Cross That Bridge When They Come to It, a crowd slowly begins to gather, growing page by page, until they are confronted with a vast unknown. The bridge crosses through the unknown and is empty. On the other side one brave soul waits for the next to cross. Graphite, ink, color pencil, black pastel layered with printed vellum which is cut and stitched into the pages with embroidery thread.
