The High Museum of Art Atlanta has the coolest lectures!
New Contemporary Installations and Lectures at the High Museum of Art
“Moustache” by Jeff Koons
September 25 – May 29, 2011
In conjunction with “Salvador Dalí: The Late Work,” the High will display “Moustache,” (2003) by Jeff Koons. This work pays homage to the Spanish Surrealist by depicting his trademark moustache adorned with polychromed aluminum sculptures, which have been cast in the shape of inflatable pool toys. Since the early 1980s Koons has extended the legacy of American Pop art into the twenty-first century by drawing upon a variety of objects and images from American popular culture and exploring subjects such as taste and authenticity in art. He is known for his meticulously fabricated works, which often consist of surreal combinations of everyday images such as cartoon imagery, art-historical references, and children’s toys. Jeff Koons was born in York, Pennsylvania, in 1955. His work has been exhibited internationally and his most recent solo exhibitions, all in 2008, include presentations at the Château de Versailles, France; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
Surrealist Conspiracy
Beginning September 18
Concurrent with “Salvador Dalí: The Late Work,” the “Surrealist Conspiracy” installation draws from the High’s permanent collection and several prominent local collections to explore fantastic imagery by artists from the sixteenth century to the present. Suggesting a group of artists philosophically in league with one another across generations, the title also evokes the archaic usage of the word “conspiracy” as a band of people, ideas, or things. The artists and works selected represent precursors to Surrealism, official members of the Surrealist group, individuals who operated under the banner of Surrealism, and contemporary artists who have been influenced by Surrealism. Artists include David Altmejd, Eugene von Bruenchenhein, Max Ernst, Max Klinger, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Man Ray, and Robert Rauschenberg, among others.
Anthony Friedkin: The Wave Portfolio
Through December 5, 2010
Anthony Friedkin has explored the creative possibilities of photographing waves since 1977. This series of 20 photographs is part of an extended photo essay spanning more than 30 years.
He lives and works in California—a few blocks from the Pacific Ocean—and is an avid surfer. He describes himself as a "disciple of the sea." By photographing waves and the ocean, Friedkin hopes to reveal their secrets within and show the extremes of their thunderous, turbulent power and harmonious, soothing calm. Educated at UCLA and the Royal College of Art in London, Friedkin has made a successful career photographing on assignment for magazines such as Time, Newsweek, and Rolling Stone, among others. He also works in Hollywood as a still photographer on movie sets—American Me, The Game, Titanic, Dogtown and Z-Boys, and Riding Giants are among his many credits.
Upcoming Lectures
· Tuesday, October 5 at 7 p.m. in Symphony Hall, Contemporary Artist Jeff Koons will kick-off the High’s “Conversations with Contemporary Artists” series. The Post-pop superstar will explore the influence of Salvador Dali on his work.
· Thursday, October 21 at 7 p.m. in the Rich Theater, Contemporary Artist Kehinde Wiley will continue our “Conversations with Contemporary Artists” lecture series. Wiley is known for his vibrant, larger-than-life reinterpretations of classical portraits featuring young African-American men. In his talk, Wiley will discuss the influence of Old Master painting on his work, including artists such as Titian, David, and Memling.
A Cocktail reception with cash bar will follow both lectures. Tickets are $10 for members, $15 for non-members, and $5 for students with valid I.D. Seating is limited. Tickets are available through the Woodruff Arts Center Box Office at 404-733-5000 and www.High.org. Tickets to the Museum are sold separately.
---
p.s. Have you been to see Dali: Late Works at the High yet? It is a fantastically fabulous show. Don't think you care for Dali's works? Bet you only know about a few of them. His art ranges the gamut --- and includes beautiful jewelry (I covet the ruby lip pin and the eye-clock pin in the gift shop...).

Woodruff Arts Center Receives $12 Million Award to Expand the Center's Pre-K through 12 Arts Education Programming
Grant Will Help Center Develop, Grow, and Expand Education Programming for Students and Teachers Throughout the State of Georgia
The Woodruff Arts Center today announced that it has been awarded a $12 million grant from The Goizueta Foundation over the next three years to expand the educational programs, resources, and services that it provides to pre-K through 12th grade students throughout Georgia. The grant will serve to enhance and increase participation in existing programs that already serve more than one million students annually, and will support the development of new initiatives.
“This is a groundbreaking gift that catapults the Woodruff Arts Center’s future development and our ability to serve the children of Georgia,” said Joseph R. Bankoff, the Center’s President and CEO. “The Goizueta Foundation’s generous gift will help us address increasing demand for arts education programs that help improve academic achievement across all disciplines. It is our hope that their generosity inspires other corporations, foundations, and individuals to join us in this vital mission.”
The Strategic Plan which the Woodruff Arts Center Board approved in May of 2008 calls for the center to play an even greater role in education in the coming decades. A focal point of this planning was to unify and build upon education programs being implemented by the Center’s constituent institutions: the Alliance Theatre, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, High Museum of Art, and Young Audiences. The Center also recently developed a Master Plan to guide the future development of its campus, including new facilities for education programming. The campus-wide education initiatives, which will be funded by the grant, build upon the successful programs pioneered by each of the Center’s individual institutions. By sharing resources, pooling the talent and expertise of our best and brightest, and capitalizing on programming efficiencies, the Center will enrich the lives of more Georgians than ever before.
Emphasizing the breadth, depth, and creativity of programs already in place on campus, several of the initiatives that will be funded by the grant were individually prototyped by the constituent organizations. Among the initiatives to be supported are:
- The Georgia Center for Professional Learning in the Arts: An expanded professional development program which will train teaching artists to partner with classroom teachers to use the arts as a tool to stimulate learning in the core curriculum, sparking the imaginations of students, and enhancing academic achievement.
- Pre-K through 12 Arts Education for the 21st Century: A comprehensive approach to arts education that links the existing and future artistic and educational initiatives of the Center’s four divisions with each other and with Georgia Department of Education K-12 Performance standards through school curriculum development assembly programs, classroom residencies, in-school concerts and performances, and more.
- Out-of-School Programming Initiative for Middle and High School Students: The Center will provide critical opportunities for the cultural enrichment of youth through after-school, evening, and weekend programs; arts leadership programs; summer camps; and online courses.
- Engagement and Community-Access Programs: The Woodruff Arts Center believes that arts and education should be available and accessible to all citizens. The grant will help the Center continue its commitment to develop talent and encourage participation from all communities and offer opportunities for children to experience the arts that might not otherwise have the exposure.
- Expanded Programming for Families: Recognizing that families experience a variety of cultural activities together, the Center will expand its family-oriented programming campus-wide, across visual and performing arts disciplines.
The Woodruff Arts Center’s education programs and initiatives reflect the vision and commitment of the Board of Trustees’ Education Task Force, members of which include prominent educators Dr. Beverly Daniel Tatum, President of Spelman College; William Clarkson, President of The Westminster Schools; Dr. Elizabeth Kiss, President of Agnes Scott College; and Dr. James Wagner, President of Emory University. Other Education Task Force members from the Center’s Board include artist, philanthropist, and education advocate Usher Raymond IV; attorney Christopher Marquardt; and, philanthropists and community volunteers Carolyn C. McClatchey and Vicki Palmer. Allison Vulgamore, President & CEO of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Tony Kimbrell, Executive Director of Young Audiences, and Tara Perry, Vice President of Strategic Planning & Initiatives for the Center, represent the Woodruff Arts Center and its constituent institutions.
