Rumor had it that R.K.M. was going to play, cover would be 12, and the
Bud goosenecks were going tor 50 cents apiece. The hand was going to start
at » p.m. and play lour sets. Pylon was regrouping so they could open the
show. That's what I heard. Rut though the real scene at the 10-Halt I'ptown
MI.K celebration last Monday night did include Michael Stipe, he had his
sister in tow rather than Buck. Berry, and Mills. Brvan Cook (Time Toy)
and Andrew Donaldson (Mercyland), pictured above, sang their hearts out
to a tune written expressly for them bv Paul Simon who heard about all the
talented musicians in Athens. At least, that's what I heard.
The Grit holds benefit for DRG groups
displaying art created by band members
By Greg Shelnutt
Itrd and Hlark ( onlribulinK Writer
When was the last time $10 purchased a work
of art?
The answer could well be another question:
when was the last time a work of art was priced
$10 ?
Anyone that attended the opening Benefit Ex
hibition for DRG Records at the Grit could attest
to the fact that over 50 works by Athens area art
ists were priced at $10 or under. The proceeds
were collected to help DRG recording artists
Time Toy. Mercyland. Eat America, and the
Bar-B-Que Killers repay the debt incurred
during their recent Florida tour
“It was really worth it (the tour). We expected
to come back in debt, just not this much in
debt,” said Bryan Cook of Time Toy.
The idea of having a show for art created by
people not usually thought of as visual artists
had been talked about by Cook and Dru Wilbur of
Eat America. The tour provided the impetus for
them to make the idea a reality.
“We asked a lot of people who don't do art (to
contribute pieces), it kind of flabbergasted
them.” Cook said.
What really makes this show interesting is the
variety of images and the freshness of the ap
proaches to different mediums. In exchange for
the formally trained concerns about color,
shape, line, texture, etc., the viewer is given an
insight into a way of creation that is, for many in
the exhibition, a new experience
“This isn’t really stuffy art for art’s sake,"
said Wilbur.
Still, even with such novelties, one’s expecta
tions for such a show might not run so high For
tunately, expectation is not the issue at this
exhibition because there is no protocol — only
the requirement that all the works sell for $10 or
less.
The issue of cost isn’t the only thing this show
is about, but it is pivotal. It raises the idea of the
ownership of a work of art versus the apprecia
tion of it.
In the usual gallery situation, with all the
works on view being sold for hundreds of dollars,
not many people think in terms of actually
hanging them in their living room. With nearly
half the works sold on opening night, it is ap
parent that things are different about the current
show at the Grit.
Each piece is a tangible object that the viewer
can possess. Even if every one of the pieces sells
before the end of the show, the knowledge that
one could have bought the works on display tem
pers one’s viewpoint This is a refreshing change
in a world where the gallery and the buyer have
almost as much power over what is created in
the artist’s studio as the artist
The show is an eclectic sort of Salon de la Re
fuse: pieces are stacked four high up the wall,
slung over bannisters, thumbtacked to posts and
laid on tables. Still, in this there is a homoge
neous feeling of whimsical good will that per
vades this chaos.
Some of the pieces are striking from the start
while others take a more subtle investigation. If
it seems as though a show consisting largely of
works by non-professionals is being treated too
lavishly, the reply would again have to return to
the tangibility of the works on display: a
drawing of a chair and a bedstead, done in pen.
rough and unfinished, the edges still bearing the
tattered edge where it has been ripped from the
artist's sketchbook, a bright orange sculpture of
a head on a blue ground — a taboo of juxtaposing
complementary colors that every art student is
warned away from.
This is not to say that all of the works on dis
play are of an unfinished or unknown nature.
Bryant Baker has also donated a print with his
skeleton imagery that is familiar to those
haunting the Athens galleries or True Confec
tions.
Also of True Confections fame is Bryant Slay
who recently filled that shop with his black and
blue painted bone constructions. There are even
two drawings in blue pastel by Michael Stipe
done on U.S. Department of Wildlife Resources
ecosystem diagrams, which provide an instance
to see another side of his creativity.
The show will remain on display through the
January 30. Anyone interested in bringing other
works for donation and display are welcome,
provided that all proceeds from sale of the work
go directly to DRG. An auction of the works not
sold during the exhibtion will be held on the final
day.
The Grit is located on Hoyt Street and is open on
Sunday through Tuesday from I p.m. to I a.m..
Thursday through Saturday from I p.m. to 3
a m. and closed Wednesduy.
