The Georgia Southern University Museum is hosting “Anne Frank: A History for Today” beginning November 2, 2008.
“Anne Frank: A History for Today” chronicles the Holocaust through the eyes of Anne Frank and her family. The goal of the exhibit is to confront issues of prejudice and intolerance and to educate young people about the positive values of diversity.
Consisting of 55 large panels, this exhibit juxtaposes photographs of the Frank family with photographs depicting historical events during that time. The goal is to show how persecuted people, such as the Frank family, were affected by political decisions and by the actions and beliefs of individuals. The exhibit invites people to view and think about prejudice, discrimination, hate and violence. It also encourages them to think about their own attitudes and beliefs.
Also part of the exhibit is “The Anne Frank Secret Hiding Place,” an artist’s representation of what the secret hiding place was like. The exhibit’s visitors will also have the opportunity to view a brief film, “The Short Life of Anne Frank.”
The exhibit is sponsored by The Anne Frank Center U.S.A. Through this exhibit and others, the center has introduced over four million young people to the story of Anne Frank. The goal of the exhibit is to confront issues of prejudice and intolerance and to educate young people about the positive values of diversity.
Accompanying the exhibit is “Witness to the Holocaust: WWII Veteran William A. Scott at Buchenwald.” This exhibit documents the liberation of Buchenwald through the lens of U.S. Army photojournalist William A. Scott, III. Scott was a member of a segregated African-American unit during World War II. This exhibit shows how powerful discrimination can be and teaches respect for diversity.
The exhibit will be on display from November 2 – December 3, 2008. The public is invited to an opening reception on November 3, 2008 at 3:00 p.m. The reception includes a lecture, “In the Shadow of the Swastika” by Sylvia Wygoda, director of the Georgia Commission on the Holocaust.
In coordination with the exhibit and Veteran’s Day, the Magellan String Quartet will present an informal concert “Death, Destruction, and Liberation in Music from WWII” at the museum at 4:15 p.m. on November 11, 2008.

International Photographic Exhibit ‘Inside Terrorism: The X-Ray Project’ Coming to Emory
The Emory University School of Medicine Department of Radiology will host a photography exhibit ‘Inside Terrorism: The X-Ray Project’ Nov. 3-7, 2008.
The exhibit opens with a lecture by featured artist Diane Covert on Monday, Nov. 3, at 4:30 p.m., and will be followed by a reception. The weeklong exhibit and opening reception are free and open to the public. The event will be held in the lobby of the Emory School of Medicine building, 1648 Pierce Drive, Atlanta, Ga., 30322.
Covert uses X-rays and CT-scans as her medium to make figurative images and portraits. She notes that modern medicine draws not with the visible light spectrum that used in photography, but with electro-magnetic radiation - X-rays and CT scans – and with this we can see inside the human body.
Covert says, “The X-rays and CT scans in this exhibit are new ways to make figurative images and portraits. These images represent both the desire to observe and describe reality with the most modern techniques available. All of these images are the by-products of terrorism, which is a war on a civilian population. Terrorists pack their bombs with common objects – hex nuts, bolts, nails, watches – all meant for peaceful, utilitarian purposes. By blasting them into human beings, they create the madness of our times.”
This exhibit has traveled the country exposing the realities of terrorism on a civilian population through the use of X-ray and CT-scans from two of the largest hospitals in Jerusalem.
For more information about the event call 404-712-1160.

Arts Event Transforms Historic Castleberry Hill Neighborhood October 24
“Le Flash,” a night of art, light and sound
Atlanta’s Castleberry Hill district and Cleopas Park
7 p.m. to midnight Oct. 24
For one night, Georgia State artists will transform the streets of Atlanta’s Castleberry Hill district as part of “Le Flash,” an event coordinated by Welch School of Art and Design gallery director Cathy Byrd and local artist Stuart Keeler.
Performances and shows from percussionists, poets, filmmakers and fashion designers are among the more than 30 projects that will be featured as part of “Le Flash.” Highlights include an iron pour and the unveiling of a temporary fountain in Cleopas Park created by Paris-based artist Kristina Solomoukha.
“Stuart Keeler and I invented ‘Le Flash’ as a way to animate the neighborhood and synergize the relationship with the park,” Byrd said. “It’s a community project, and so many of Georgia State University’s staff, students and faculty members have become involved in making this happen.”
Byrd said she hopes that Solomoukha’s exhibit will help bring more Castleberry Hill residents to Cleopas Park, as it is currently an underused cultural space. “Le Flash” will be happening in collaboration with Castleberry Hill’s Fourth Friday Art Stroll, linking the historic district’s monthly event to the park.
“The energy’s there, the excitement’s there, and the community is waiting to share it,” Byrd said.

“The Not So Scary Fairy Tales: A Not So Haunted House for Children” returns to the Townsend Center for the Performing Arts Oct. 24-25 and Oct. 28-30. The 12-room maze of friendly fairy tale characters and dazzling sets takes approximately 20 minutes to tour and is fun for the entire family.
Can you dodge the Fiery Friendly Dragon, advise the Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe or help the sleepy Princess find the pesky Pea? They are just a few of the wonderful fairy tales that come to life in the “The Not So Scary Fairy Tales: A Not So Haunted House for Children” at the Townsend Center for the Performing Arts at the University of West Georgia.
A tour guide will lead the way through a magical maze of 12 rooms in the Townsend Center for the Performing Arts where fantasy and reality become an exciting adventure. Tours will run Friday, Oct. 24, and Saturday, Oct. 25, and Tuesday, Oct. 28 through Thursday Oct. 30.
Tours are approximately 20 minutes long beginning at 6:30 p.m. and ending at 9:30 p.m. in the Richard L. Dangle Theatre. Reservations of time slots have been brisk and early reservations are encouraged.

Other activities include face painting, coloring and story telling. Horton’s Bookstore will also be on hand to sell children’s books of fairy tales.
“The Not So Scary Fairy Tales” is the only event that the TCPA crew produce themselves by planning the maze, painting the scenery and building the sets. Carrollton resident Jenny Lyle is directing the production and David Manuel, technical director at the Townsend Center, is the designer and lead builder for the fairy tale maze that patrons will be guided through.
Designed for children and their families, the production combines aspects of live theatre with a twisting and turning maze carefully crafted to accommodate all children, including those who need assistance.
Sponsors Dr. Chester and Faye Gibson said they are thrilled with this service project to the community.
“We are so pleased to support the outreach of the Townsend Center to the West Georgia community with programming that is educational and entertaining for families,” said Chester Gibson. “The university is a terrific destination with so many opportunities for everyone and we are happy to be a part of those activities that help enhance lives.”

UWG: Waring Lecture Series Features Reitz October 24
The Antonio J. Waring Jr. Distinguished Lecture Series will present environmental archeologist Dr. Elizabeth Reitz on Friday, Oct. 24, at 7:30 p.m. at the University of West Georgia.
This must see event for anyone interested in archaeology, history and how people use the environment will take place in the Kathy Cashen Recital Hall where the professor of anthropology will share her experiences in the field and in the lab at this prestigious annual event. The presentation is free and the community is invited to attend.
Reitz is a professor of anthropology at the University of Georgia and is internationally recognized as an expert on human use of animal resources, especially in maritime environments. Her lecture, “5,000 Years of Fishing on the Georgia Coast,” is sure to interest science and history buffs of all ages.
“I would like to encourage people to look to the past as a way to understand the present and as a window into the future,” said Reitz. “And to think holistically about the human experience.”
On her website, Reitz wrote: “I base my research on the study of animal remains from archaeological sites, for which purpose I manage the Zooarchaeology Laboratory. The lab specializes in the identification of vertebrate remains and contains a comparative skeletal collection of 4,200 vertebrate and invertebrate specimens from throughout the southeastern United States and adjacent waters, as well as from the Caribbean.”
The lab and its contents have been used since 1977 in support of archaeological research, service and training, during which time more than 200 archaeological faunal assemblages from the southeastern United States, the Caribbean basin, Peru, and Ecuador have been studied. Faunal Assemblage is an archeological term describing fossils found together in the same layer of rock or soil.
Reitz will spend the day on campus as a guest at the Antonio J. Waring Jr. Archeology Laboratory and in several anthropology classes before the lecture. The Department of Anthropology and the Waring Lab will host the annual event.
The lecture series is funded through the largest endowment given to an anthropology department in the state of Georgia. The Waring endowment also funds the operation of the Waring Lab and an endowed professorship in Anthropology at UWG.
For more information, call 678-839-6454.

City of Atlanta Office of Cultural Affairs / Public Art Program “NOGUCHI PLAYSCAPES RESTORATION”
The City of Atlanta Office of Cultural Affairs has begun the process of restoring the Noguchi Playscapes, a sculptural playground installation located in Atlanta’s Piedmont Park. Noguchi Playscapes was designed by internationally renowned sculptor, designer, and architect Isamu Noguchi and completed in 1976.
In Phase I of the project, the Office of Cultural Affairs’ Public Art Program (OCA/PAP) hired the Conservation Team, Jablonski Berkowitz Conservation to assess the site and design a work plan for restoring the artwork. In Phase 2 of the conservation project, the OCA/PAP secured the services of Donna Williams Conservation, a Los Angeles-based art conservation team to perform professional restoration of the Noguchi Playscapes. The conservation team includes local architect Amy Landesberg, Pellegrom Construction, and sculptor Jeffry Loy. The work has begun and is scheduled for completion by mid-December of 2008.
The Office of Parks, Office of Cultural Affairs and the city arborists are supporting this restoration project and the refurbishment of the grounds. The planning for the project took several years under the guidance of the Office of Cultural Affairs Public Art Program Manager Eddie Granderson and Office of Cultural Affairs Director Camille Russell Love.
On May 1, 1976, Playscapes was officially opened at Atlanta’s Piedmont Park. It is the only Playscapes of its kind by Noguchi in the continental United States and the City of Atlanta is fortunate to have an “artwork” from such a prominent internationally acclaimed contemporary artist.
“The Playscapes is a unique landmark in our city’s most prominent park. It is part playground and also qualifies as high art. After such a long planning phase, we are excited to embark on this historic restoration and bring the Noguchi Playscapes to its former glory for future generations to enjoy.”
