Film Screening:
The Woodmans
So Percussion
February 14 | 4 p.m. Don Russell Clayton Gallery, Bailey Performance Center
2013 Kennesaw Festival of New Music SoŻ Percussion performs titles followed by a screening of The Woodmans. Don Russell Clayton Gallery Partner Event: Bailey Performance Center & Zuckerman Museum of Art .
Francesca Woodman’s haunting B&W images, many of them nude self-portraits, now reside in the pantheon of great photography from the late 20th century. The daughter of artists Betty and Charles Woodman (she a ceramicist and he a painter/photographer), Francesca was a precocious RISD graduate, who came to New York with the intention of setting the art world on fire. But in 1981, as a despondent 22-year-old, she committed suicide. The Woodmans beautifully interweaves the young artist’s work (including experimental videos and diary passages) with interviews with the parents who have nurtured her professional reputation these past 30 years, while continuing to make art of their own in the face of tragedy.

Pedro: Menaboni’s Lost Story
January 17–May 2 | Don Russell Clayton Gallery
This exhibition presents illustrations by Athos Menaboni from an unpublished children’s book. The story follows the annual migratory journey of a scarlett tanager bird named Pedro, all the way to Mexico from the United States. The drawings border on the surreal and are quite different from what we have come to expect from Menaboni. A “Write- Your-Own”story competition will be held in conjunction with this exhibition; cash prizes will be awarded for winning entries.
Opening Reception: Jan. 17, 5-8p.m. Don Russell Clayton Gallery, Bailey Performing Center. Free.
