Artist Carol John’s Paintings Are Explosive
Carol John’s Untitled (2008).

Carol John's paintings are zesty and merry, with polka dots, blobs, and all manner of zap and swirl. Somehow, though, they'd seem to fit as perfectly on the walls of Abigail Breslin's all-American-girl bedroom in Kit Kittredge: An American Girl as in Amy Poehler's white-trash suitcases as she flees her good-for-nothin' man in Baby Mama. In other words, Carol John seems to have distilled all the grand contradictions that give lipstick feminism its pow. John's paintings are at Ivy Brown Gallery through August 13. —Emma Pearse

Athica Emerges II
Two of UGA's painting grads, Jon Barwick and Kim Deakins, have been included in the current show of emerging artists Athica along with photographer Rylan Steele. Congratulations, guys!
Just so happens that Jon and Kim are also featured in the Southern Edition of New American Paintings that just came out this month. Keep an eye on these two.

Elsewhere
My friend Brian Hitselberger is Elsewhere this summer. I'm missing him because I'm Here and not Elsewhere. Elsewhere is an amazing artist residency program in Greenboro, NC. Here is what he says about it.....
Dear Friends--Hi! I'm writing to you this morning to tell you about where I've been living for the past three days, and where I will continue to be for he next month. For those of you that don't know, I'm currently an artist-in-residence at the Elsewhere Artist Collaborative in Greensboro, NC. Elsewhere is unlike any other artist program I've ever come across - it simultaneously functionsas a live/work space for upwards of 15 people (some of them full-time staff, some of them transient residents like myself), a public museum with guided tours, a storehouse for a lifetime'sworth of wacky possessions and materials, and a gallery housing some of the most interesting installation work I've seen in a longtime. Here is the official website: http://www.elsewhereelsewhere.org/ For the next month, I live here. I sleep in a (somewhat dusty) bedroom I share with two other residents on the second floor of this three-story building. I eat meals prepared in rotating shifts by the staff and other residents in the program in a group kitchen, which is located directly behind a tower constructed of mirrors and doors that you can sit in to read. I have a desk next to a log cabin, formed of stacked denim 'logs' and a hand-stitched roof. I could go on and on - if you are able, I strongly encourage you to come see this place yourself. If you are not, but find yourself interested, you can chart my progress at my Flickr site, where I'll be posting lots of pictures and (hopefully) videos, and also at a blog that's been set up for me by the administrators here. Those web addresses are as follows:

New Studio - After
Well.... that didn't take long, did it? It is interesting to me to be the first person, in what I imagine to be a long line of artists, to work in this space. Quite an honor.
