► Athens as Art: What if all aspects of life were art? What if
everything in Athens was designed for aesthetic appeal? Athens
Design Development (ADD) sees this possibility. ADD is a group
of prominent local artists who have ventured into the field of
design, including Didi Dunphy, Carol John, Lou Kregel, Michael
Lachowski, Carl Martin and Michael Oliveri. In order to bring
attention to the design community of Athens, ADD is holding a
Design Rally at the new Cine art-house theater in downtown
Athens. (Many of the members of ADD were integral in the design
of Cme, from Dunph/s seating, and Kregel's graphics, to Martin's
architectural work.) The Design Rally features an
exhibit of work by individual members of ADD and
information about their collaborative projects, in
cluding a bus shelter selected by the Athens Area
Arts Council for installation on Baxter Street, and
a proposed cigarette receptacle for installation
around Athens. Also available at the Design Rally
will be the "ADD411," a list of local resources to
help designers achieve their visions. The opening
reception is Thursday, Apr. 12, 7-11 p.m. There
will be a discussion panel with ADD members on
Saturday, Apr. 21, 3-5 p.m. See www.add411.org
for more info.
Rhinoceros, the students have created a diverse set of images.
J.B. Courson's "Alpha Hab and Worker Drones" could be plans for
the set of a Star Wars movie. Caroline Covington's "Closure" re-in
vents the kamikaze bomb, with essential accompanying text. Diana
Gurley's circular imagery hovers on the page like hot-air balloons.
Matthew McDonald's "Lupa Ad Nauseam," as the Latin title states,
is an image of a wolf vomiting. The drawing of the wolf appears
to be taken from a realistically executed etching, while the vomit
is discretely portrayed as a splatter of color. Edward Whelan's
abstract geometric piece looks back to the Italian Futurists, with
Development (ADD)
a fresh new design. Evan Mullins and Louis Grabowski have both
created images of realistic-looking objects of play. Works by Andy
Anzardo, Alex Castellanos, Jason Maddox, Chris Merz, Winston
Parker and John Powers are also included in the show, which runs
through Apr. 5, so hurry! The Thomas Street Gallery is located in
UGA's Sculpture Annex just off Broad Street.
Opening Makes Art: There will be an opening reception for "Forty
Nine Hundred" on Friday, Apr. 6, 6-8 p.m., at the Clayton Street
Gallery. Look for an art-generating performance by McDavid
Moore; prints by David Broughton, Alex Cargile, Katherine
McGuire and Samantha Mosby; paintings by Susan Bryant,
Brandy Levens, Angela Morales and Libby Willis; jewelry and
metalwork by Nikki Couppee and Laura Wood; ceramics by
Maggie Akstin; drawings by Brianna Immel; and photography by
Libby West. The show runs through Apr. 27. Clayton Street Gallery
is located on Clayton Street above Frameworks. Go to http://art.
uga.edu/fortyninelOO for more info.
Endnotes: Paul Pfeiffer will participate in Art Talk at the UGA
Visual Arts Building Room 116 on Wednesday, Apr. 4 at 5:30
p.m. Pfeiffer will give a lecture at the Student Learning Center
Room 171 on Thursday, Apr. 5, at 5:30 p.m. Pfeiffer's "work in
video, sculpture and photography uses recent computer technolo
gies to dissect the role that mass media plays in shaping con
sciousness." For more info on Pfeiffer and his work, click on www.
pbs.org/art21/artists/pfeiffer/. For more info, call 706-542-1511.

Design as Art: During the Design Rally at Cine,
Didi Dunphy will be displaying her playful prod
ucts from Modern Convenience (www.moderncon-
venience.com), her furniture design company. She
will have a swing set for two with laser-cut tiara
on top, as well as her Indoor Bong Boards, avail
able for play. Carol John, whose work is currently
on view at Eyedrum in Atlanta, will have a long,
narrow painting installation at Cine, stretching
15 feet up one wall. See www.caroljohnpaintings.
com for more. Lou Kregel's rugs, which were re
cently added to the Target catalogue, will be on
view, as well as her vibrant patterned paintings.
View more of Lou's work at www.loukregel.com.
Michael Lachowski's contribution will be a liv
ing sculpture, scaffolding filled with spotlights,
mirror balls and live models, in support of his
new magazine project. Young Foxy and Free (www.
yffmag.com). Carl Martin will display furniture
wrapped in photographic images. Visit him on
the web to see more, www.docunlimited.com.
Michael Oliveri is exhibiting his Ulterior Farming
Operation (UFO), which is a hydroponics growing
room designed to look like a spaceship. Inside
the growing room are upside-down tomato plants,
started from seeds that orbited the earth for six
years in a NASA program. For mote info, check out Athens Design
www.conceptrecycling.com.
Science as Art: While viewing nano-scale images taken by a scan
ning electron microscope in the University of Georgia Engineering
Department, Yiping Zhao said, "This looks like art!" So he and his
collaborator Zhengwei Pan contacted Michael Oliveri in the Art
Department Oliveri and his assistants, artists Josh Bienko, Sean
Mills and Robert Peterson, digitally manipulated images taken
with the electron microscope to create the "The Art of Science"
exhibit, which was on view in the Georgia Center for Continuing
Education last month. They focused on adding color to the black
and white images, and creating patterns from isolated areas. If
you missed the exhibit, do not despair: The collaboration will con
tinue over the summer, and the result will be exhibited at the UGA
School of Art Main Gallery in September. Until then, see more at
www.nanoimagebank.com.
Play as Art: Didi Dunphy's work has been included in the new
sculpture park at the Madison-Morgan Cultural Center (MMCC).
She has both a swing set and a see-saw from her "Recess" series
on view. Also included in the new sculpture park are works by two
other artists. Tobin Hines, who graduated from UGA with a BFA in
printmaking before attending Maryland Institute College of Art's
Mount Royal School of Art for his MFA, has two pieces on display,
titled "Signature Piece" and "In Your Face." Phil Proctor, a sculp
tor from Atlanta, is displaying "Impact," a steel and granite piece.
The sculpture park will rotate annually. Also featured at MMCC are
two paintings by Lou Kregel in the exhibit "Ladylike? Women
Artists Working in the South." For directions, go to www.madi-
