ART PAPERS is pleased to invite artists to a free, peer-learning session with Oliver Ressler on Wednesday, January 25 at noon at Saltworks Gallery. For directions: www.saltworksgallery.com
This open forum follows similar sessions with past visiting artists Daniel Canogar, Michael Blum, Zineb Sedira, and Trevor Paglen. ART PAPERS has developed this program in response to local artists' often-repeated need to break their isolation and to learn about various strategies of production and dissemination from peers who have gained significant international recognition.
During this peer-learning session, Ressler will discuss various aspects of these projects as they intersect with the concerns of Atlanta artists. Bring your questions and challenges!
In addition to this artist-driven session with Oliver, you won’t want to miss his two public presentations:
SCREENING
Next Tuesday (Jan. 24), we will be screening two of his most recent films. Oliver will then engage in a short Q&A. This screening is at 7pm at Georgia Tech College of Architecture Auditorium. The world premiere for one of these films, The Bull Laid Bear, directed by Zanny Begg & Oliver Ressler, will take place in New York the previous night. We are thrilled to bring it to Atlanta so quickly.
ARTIST’S TALK
On Wednesday (Jan. 25), Oliver’s talk We are the ones we have been waiting for will resonate with some recent practice here in Atlanta, while providing a historical, global framework for work that seeks to engage aesthetics and “real” political terrain simultaneously. Over the past decade, Oliver Ressler ‘s role as an artist in the alter-globalization movement has yielded both an impressive body of work and a solid reputation. This talk is at 7pm at Georgia Tech, G. Wayne Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons, 266 Fourth St. NW, Room 152, Atlanta, GA (basically across the street from the College of Architecture)
For more information about these public events and Oliver’s work, visit http://www.artpapers.org/
Information about the talk and screening (including parking, directions, and our wonderful sponsors) and Oliver’s work (press, clips, interviews, and so on) can be found on our website: http://www.artpapers.org/

The Third Annual Ethics Art Café is an Ethics and the Arts Symposium held each fall by Emory’s Ethics and the Arts Society in partnership with WonderRoot.
Where: Emory Center for Ethics, 1531 Dickey Drive, Atlanta, Georgia, 30322
When: Wednesday, Nevember 30, 2011, 7-9 PM
Price: The event is FREE with suggested donations of $5-$1,000,000
Bringing artists from eclectic backgrounds together under the umbrella of ethics, the event explores the intersection between creativity and ethics, and the role art plays in inspiring positive social change.
This year’s Café will run as a fundraiser for Voices in the Treetops, a non-profit organization with literary and performing arts programs for children, teens and adults.
All funds raised at the Café will go towards the development of Voices in the Treetops' music program for young Burmese refugee.
We have bunches of great events lined up for everyone this week!
Tonight, October 15th, we are hosting CrimethInc., an independent radical publisher, for a talk on their newest book, Work, and their presentation Capitalism & Resistance in the 21st Century.
Check out their website here: http://www.crimethinc.com/blog/2011/09/29/book-fairs-next-leg-of-work-tour/
TUESDAY!
Getcho' self a membership to the center ($10 for a monthly and $60 for an annual, or even $100 for an annual family membership for 4!) and check out our Intro to Ceramics class from 6:30pm to 8pm! When was the last time it was acceptable for you to play in mud? That wasn't a jam festival?
THURSDAY!
SOOO much going on!
Loose Change Rooftop Reading will take place at the Arts Exchange from 7pm-10pm. Come see the sunset over Atlanta from a brand new vantage point while checking out readings from fantastic local authors Matt DeBenedictis, James Nichols, Laura Straub, Gina Myers, and P.I. Navarro. It's going to make for a much better date night than going to watch Real Steel. Trust me.
Speaking of movies, Thursday is also the night of WonderRoot's Generally Local, Mostly Independent Filmmakers Night at the beautiful Plaza Theater! Maybe the title should also include the phrase "Entirely Amazing", but that's just me. Well, me and Creative Loafing naming WonderRoot's the BEST FILM SERIES IN ATLANTA IN THE YEAR TWO-THOUSAND ELEVEN.

Well, I'm going to go back to reading Burnaway and waiting for my copy of Tom Wait's new album to show up at Criminal Records.
