Experimental Television Screening
Film Program
8:00pm

The Experimental Television Center is among the oldest media centers in the US, dating from 1971. It has a rich history and remains a vital source for inspiration and access for many moving image and sonic artists. Since 1996, the Experimental Television Center International Summer Workshop has been a two-week workshop encouraging experimentation, exploration of approaches to video as a contemporary electronic arts medium, and collaborative art practice, both in the interaction with the Center’s open architecture and hybrid toolset and amongst each other. Pamela Susan Hawkins, ETCISW director and Monica Duncan, ETCISW staff and Video Artist-in- Residence at the Atlanta College of Art will be presenting the work of the 2005 ETCISW, including a presentation on the Center and the ETCISW program.

The 2005 ETCISW video screening will include work from Meredith Baxter, Jason Bernagozzi, Terry Conrad, Monica Duncan, Neil Fried, Kelly Gorman, Pamela Susan Hawkins, Brent Johnson, Fei Jun, Annie Langan, Matt Macy, Lisa Malazzo, Michael Montagne, Daniel Pelt, Eric Pier, Yesael Sumalave, Soroush Tahmasebi, Carolyn Tennant, David Webber, Ashton Wolfe, Matthew Underwood and Necole Zayatz.

Currently in our back gallery:

The George and Helen Spelvin Folk Art Collection

As part of the opening reception, Beauvais Lyons will present a tour of the exhibition.

Curated by Beauvais Lyons, Director of the Hokes Archives, The George and Helen Spelvin Folk Art Collection is considered to be one of the most insightful private collections of contemporary ‘outsider’ art. This exhibition will survey the creations of eleven different artists in the collection. Examples include enamel painted records by Lucas Farley, Arthur Middleton’s painted portraits of American Presidents, numerous 'limberjack' puppets by Lester Dowdey, velvet paintings of brides by Charlotte Black, flower paintings on book pages by Emma Whorley, and some of the best examples of "mug jugs" by North Carolina potter Rufus Martinez. E. B. Hazzard's 'alien communication device', made of over 300 flattened tin cans on a modified tent pole structure and Max Pritchard's hand-printed religious tracts on cereal boxes are also represented in the collection. The show also includes the inter-racial rag doll friendship chain by Loretta Howard.

Over the past twenty-five years, when they were not busy with their jobs as a school teacher and an insurance agent, Helen and George Spelvin devoted their energy and resources to the study and collection of visionary folk art. While a small number of works from their collection have been loaned to museums, including the Smithsonian Institution and the Erie Museum of Art, most of the works in their collection are unknown in the field of folk art. For more information on the collection, as well as the Hokes Archives, visit their web site at: web.utk.edu/~blyons

‘At the very least, it might get some useful conversations started about what's good and what's bad in folk art.’ Jerry Cullum
