reNEW reUSE reVIEW
From Eyedrum’s open call for entries, organizer Jess Blankenship has gathered a crew of "copycats" in the realms of art, literature, performance, and music.
The exhibit will feature new interpretations, homages, modifications, and updates of known artwork.
Be sure to attend the 2 upcoming nights of performance art and music associated with this visual art exhibit. 

Through Feb 23

In the Small Gallery:
Stewart Haddock's "A Painted Flower a Day"
Atlanta computer programmer and artist Stewart Haddock came up with an idea: For one year, he would hand out one painted flower a day – to friends, friends of friends, and complete strangers. It would force him, Mr. Haddock reasoned, to approach people he would not normally approach and hold a conversation with them.
The simple resolution turned into a yearlong art project and social experiment that transcends media formats. 

Through March 1

The December & January Eyedrum Podcasts are ready to download.
February: This month we played live Tree Creature (playing at Eyedrum again on March 12th), MV+EE, Magicicada and Baby Dee (both Feb 25th), and a live recording of Zentropy. Then we peeled paint with a blast of rawk from Psychedelic Horsesh*t, Times New Viking, White Mice and Sighting, all of which are playing at Eyedrum on various dates in March. We played a few tracks by Beat Circus and Larkin Grimm in anticipation of their Feb 12th show. Then Andy Ditzler from Film Love visited us in studio to tell us about his Tearoom (Feb 22nd) and George Kuchar (Mar 21st) film events. We finished off with a couple Open Improv pieces and one by Kinan.

Eyedrum’s programming is supported in part by the City of Atlanta Office of Cultural Affairs and by the Fulton County Board of Commissioners under the guidance of the Fulton County Arts Council.
