Sneak Peak of Next Month's Show: Sanithna Phansavanh!

I have an especially good feeling about this next show. Sanithna's work is based on superstitions around the world, something we Southerners have definitely contributed to.

In Sanithna's own words, from his blog, The Prince and the Thief:

“Knock on Wood” explores superstitions, charms, and talismans. Drawings and paintings, inspired by beliefs from around the world, catalogue various actions, thoughts, and objects that attempt to relieve fear and uncertainty.

My brothers-in-arms, Modern Skirts, will be giving a very special and free performance. Trust me, they are homegrown, bona fide rockstars. Ask them about opening for R.E.M.

The soundtrack for the gallery viewing will be provided by my friend Alex Goose. Some of you folks may know him better as the guy who created The Blueprint 3 Outtakes, music that Jay-Z (unbelieveably) did not use on his last album.

A special project with my long-time buddy Tim Haught and his StreetLocal folks, one of Atlanta’s highly respected brands, will be released that night. I dare you to find something new and grand that they don’t already know about.

Also, keep your eyes peeled for some goodness from my-sister-from-a-different-mister, Dehanza Rogers, aka her celluloid self. When she’s not being Documentary Filmmaker Champ, you can find her in UCLA’s über-elite MFA Film Program.

Love and black cats 'til next Wed,
Maggie

Shoutout!

Thanks Creative Loafing for the little shoutout and review of the Ponce Art Crew's (yours truly, Beep Beep, and Kibbee!) openings this past weekend! We're always a fan of sweet words.. hehe.. and it's so awesome that we can share the vicinity of our digs with other amazing spaces and people!

If you haven't read it yet.. Check it out here! Ming was such a multi-talented, awesome dude at the opening.. he is totally deserving of the praise he got!

But seriously, if you haven't seen Born/Michi's show at Beep Beep and Winsome Want at Kibbee.. Better hurry and get on it!!

AND on the topic of favorite spaces.. We hope to see everyone at Mint Gallery's Fundraiser. It's super important to support your local business and keep Atlanta's culture flowin..and Mint is non-profit, remember!


ps.. this is also a part of the Ponce Crew.. Sorry I didn't mention that earlier :)

Doin' thangs!

A shorty but sweetie from Maggie who is pooped as a mug after a long day and is looking down the barrel of inventory tomorrow! Hard work, good sleep - right?

Tonight we set up shop at Lady Rogue Biz Network's monthly hootenanny. It was the first time they organized an underground market. Those ladies sure are growing on me, along with the other members. All I have to say right now is that I love Atlanta and I love our growing presence of independent business. CHURCH! PREACH! Amen.
