GARAGE PROJECTS

One MINUTE/ One NIGHT

Still, Nelson Hallonquist

One MINUTE/ One NIGHT
on 10.24.08 starting at 7:00 pm

One MINUTE/ One NIGHT is a participating exhibition that is part of the Le Flash: Nuit Blanche program that is taking place on October 24, in Castleberry Hill, in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. One MINUTE / One NIGHT is curated by Carolyn Carr and Michael Gibson at Garage Projects. Nuit Blance is organized by Cathy Byrd and Stuart Keeler.

Garage Projects is located in the building Stable 1897. During the One MINUTE/ One NIGHT presentation, Garage Projects' exhibition space will be expanded to includes 5 locations with in and on the building Stable 1897. This will be the first exhibition in the newly configured media driven exhibition space, designed by Nicholas Storck. From this exhibition forward, the programming at Garage Projects will be dedicated to new media and old technology.

One MINUTE/ One NIGHT
Artist curators Carolyn Carr and Michael Gibson offer a special screening of 28 one-minute videos in and around Garage Projects. The only limitation for this international call was for works to be one minute in length. Out of this call came a natural grouping that begged for five independent viewing spaces. This grouping was further governed by the works content, style, and/ or context-- whether in the arrangement of works in various and sometimes improbable exhibition spaces or relationships of works to each other.

The Venues at Stable 1897

I Façade-- Selected works to be arranged to intersect with the façade of the building Stable 1897

Window Box Storefront: A selection of three works which through texture and atmospheric editing relate to early experimental film works of Thomas Edison, Stan Brakage and Ingmar Bergman. Each of these artist delve into narratives that explore the humane psyche as well as, share a common visual approach.

• Chris Lindsay
• Shana Robbins
• Oliver Smith

Façade Upstairs Window: Walking down Peters Street pedestrians encounter a moving image in a second story window, in a dark corner of a historic building, that is surreal in nature.

• Eric Defino

II Garage Projects-- The video calls only stated limitation was that each work was to be 1 minute long. And the randomness out of this loose restriction resulted in a natural communality in content, context and style. The artist being presented here all share everyday mundane affairs by way of waiting, watching and being watched.

• Nelson Hallonquist
• Tonia Hughes and Lisa McGuire
  
• Nicole Rademacher
• Ziad Naccache

The Video Box: A stand alone Monitor inside Garage Projects This work reminds the viewer of the over all happy aura American artists elevated through pop art during the 60s and beyond while examining the issues surrounding the intersection of painting and the moving picture.

• Mark Leibert

III Mélange-- A display of selected submissions that show a cross section of entries that reflect the various approaches, techniques, narratives, and concepts. These works will be on public view in the restaurant SLICE, next door to Garage Projects.

• Sunny Avens
• Benjamin Bellas
• Isidore Bethel
• Lee Blalock
