Several art enthusiasts attend the opening of the Quinlan Visual Arts Center’s fall exhibits. Four different exhibitions decorate the walls at the Gainesville gallery.

Artists collaborate for arts center’s fall exhibit

BY MEREDITH PRUITT

mpruitt@gainesvilletimes.com Fine works of art, wine and refreshments are making one Gainesville building come alive this fall.

A large crowd of artists and art enthusiasts filled the Quinlan Visual Arts Center last Thursday for the opening of their fall exhibitions. The exhibit, which features local and out-of-town artists, will be on display at the arts center off Green Street through Oct. 12. Admission is free.

One artist’s unique perspective was based on moving art — the art of film.

Virginia native Jo Baskerville contributed his exhibit called “Fashion Modernism: This is Not a Movie,” which combined fashion and modern movies to create a colorful collection of paintings. He said the theme went together, but was not done all at once.

“This is actually a culmination of different work,” he said. “I started out doing shoes, and now I’m doing these widescreen movies. But all my work is inspired by fashion.”

The art features scenes he would create if he made movies, he said.

Quinlan Visual Arts Center fall exhibitions When: Aug. 22-Oct. 12 Hours: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Saturday and closed Sunday Where: 514 Green St. NE, Gainesville Cost: Free Exhibits: “8 Ways of Seeing” by Blackberry Creek Artists, “As We See It” by Sherry Needle and Fran Milner, “Oh, The Places I Go…” by Cynthia Howard; “Fashion Modernism: This Is Not a Movie” by Jo Baskerville

“With this series, it was basically about some movies that I would like to see,” he said.

Baskerville has featured pieces at the arts center before.

He said his work from the past made an impression, so he took his new theme and combined it with fashion paintings. The new shoe paintings took six to seven months to create.

“Most of it was done before the show, but then I went back because the Quinlan asked that I do some of the things that I’ve done in the past,” he said. “So I went back and I did five shoe paintings for them.”

Although it was difficult for him to choose, he said his favorite piece was called “The Coldest Winter.”

“It took a great deal of work to do it, and I tried to make sure that I kept the colors from being

the same in each area,” he said.

“I think that would be the best one, because I put a lot of work in it.”

He is looking forward for his next theme: a collection about all different types of heroes.

“It will be a documentary about heroes, painted on walls,” he said.

Baskerville’s goal is always to leave people with a desire to expand their creativity, he said.

“I just want them to be inspired and be creative and realize that you can use all different types of mediums to create art,” he said.

Another exhibit in the main room featured all local artists from the Blue Ridge Mountains.

This collection, featuring work from a group called Blackberry Creek Artists, is called “8 Ways of Seeing.”

Since the group is local,

many friends came to support the opening, including Debbie Dixon. Her friend, Pat Mahoney, contributed a collection to the show.

She said knowing about the group has made her aware of a presence of great artists in North Georgia. “(I have learned) that there are a lot of talented people, and I wish I was one of them,” Dixon said. “I’m very impressed with the level of artists that are here.

They seem very professional.”

She said her favorite piece, “Relaxed,” is a painting of Pat Mahoney’s husband. She said Mahoney’s portrait captured her personal friend perfectly.

In between browsing through paintings and sculptures, one couple stopped for refreshments to reflect on their favorite pieces of art. Bob and Leila Seyler agreed the most memorable piece was by local artist Betty Beasley, who is part of Blackberry Creek Artists.

The squid sculpture, “Calamari,” is one of the first exhibits to catch your eye when entering the arts center.

“It’s on a piece of driftwood, and it is beautiful,” Bob Seyler said. “You always learn when you come to these (exhibits).”

Leila Seyler said she

appreciated meeting the artists behind the paintings and sculptures.

“The important thing is to be able to interact with the artists,” she said.

The artist of their favorite piece said her love for horses inspired her sculpture, which led to paintings as well.

“I started sculpting horses,” Beasley said. “Then I began sculpting live, human models.”

She said the Blackberry Creek group consists of supportive friends who help each other spread their work through shows each month.

“We critique each other’s work, and we are each responsible for finding a show for the rest of the artists,” Beasley said. “Each one of us does a show.”

It is not only the support for each other that makes the artists unique, she said. Beasley said every member of Blackberry Creek has improved because of the shows they have done together.

“In doing this, by staying together every month like this, everybody’s improved so much,” she said. “You couldn’t believe it.”

The fall exhibit also features works from Sherry Needle, Fran Milner and Cynthia Howard.

Art exhibits talents of students, professionals Three shows on display at UNG Galleries this fall From staff reports The galleries of the University of North Georgia open three new exhibits this fall featuring artwork by faculty members and guest artists.

“As we start a new school year, the art exhibitions at UNG reflect the variety of experiences we want to bring to students, faculty, staff and the community,” said Dr. Pamela Sachant, head of the university’s Department of Visual Arts.

“In one exhibit, students have the opportunity to see work created by the visual arts faculty. Each is a professional artist, perhaps easy to forget in the midst of busy day-to-day schedules, and the show demonstrates the faculty’s talent and dedication to their own creative efforts as well as those of their students.”

The free exhibits offer a wide variety of styles and will be featured on three of the university’s four campuses.

“The UNG Art Galleries’ exhibits this August are a farewell to summer,” said Beth Sale, UNG art galleries director. “In Gainesville, Andy Cherewick’s paintings feature water themes and a beach scene. The ‘Inspired by Sapelo’ exhibit features artwork and artifacts from the beach.

And the ‘Art Appreciation’ exhibit, featuring work by the Dahlonega campus art faculty, offers a wide range of styles, themes and media.”

The exhibit by Athens artist Andy Cherewick runs until Sept. 19 in the Roy C.

Moore Art Gallery on UNG’s Gainesville campus.

“In Gainesville, the campus and surrounding community will be treated to an exhibition of paintings

by Athens artist Andy Cherewick,” Sachant said.

“To see his dynamic and texture-filled compositions in a gallery setting is a pleasure, and an important lesson in what is gained from looking at art in person.”

The Roy C. Moore Art Gallery is on the Gainesville campus in the lobby area of the Performing Arts Center.

The gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Thursdays. The gallery is closed Friday through Sunday.

Two UNG galleries host the “Inspired by Sapelo” exhibit, featuring work from University System of Georgia faculty. Pieces are from art administrators who attended the annual “State of the Arts” conference on Sapelo Island. Schools represented in the exhibit include UNG, Armstrong Atlantic State University, Columbus State University, Darton State College, East Georgia State College and Valdosta State University.

“Inspired by Sapelo” runs until Sept. 13 in the Oconee Campus Gallery, with a closing reception at noon Sept. 13. The Oconee Campus Gallery is in the lobby area of the Faculty Center and is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday.

Race to end poverty Action Dash raises money for needy From staff reports

For Get Out

The American Legion’s fireworks show originally slated for Independence Day festivities were postponed until Labor Day because of rain showers. Fireworks are set to go off at dusk Monday at Laurel Park in Gainesville.

American Legion to light up sky with fireworks From staff reports After rainy weather washed out the local American Legion’s annual Independence Day celebration and firework display earlier this summer, the Paul E. Bolding Post 7 is rebooting the event for Labor Day weekend at Laurel Park, 2100 Old Cleveland Road.

Post Commander Dave Dellinger explained the activities and fireworks originally slated for July 4 will be Monday, Sept. 2.

While the event is free, parking is $5. Gates to the park open at 9 a.m.

Fireworks begin at dusk.

Hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken and ice cream will be for sale, along with snow cones from the Legion’s women’s auxiliary.

Visitors will receive a slip upon arrival and may

exchange it for a free drawing to win an American flag flown in Afghanistan.

Membership booths will be set up around the park to sign up visitors for different veterans groups.

Dellinger advises attendees to show up early, because the park can quickly reach capacity.

Demorest hosts Labor Day celebration

Demorest will host a downtown celebration Saturday, Aug. 31, to showcase its newly installed StreetScape features and offer free entertainment for children and families.

For children, inflatable games will be free. For adults, an antique car show will begin at 5 p.m. with prizes and trophies presented during the show.

Hot dogs, hamburgers and funnel cakes will be sold. Families are encouraged to bring folding chairs.

Following the afternoon activities, the John King Band of Athens will perform an outdoor concert at 7 p.m.

The celebration will conclude with a fireworks show at 9:30 p.m.

Action Ministries is fanning out across five cities on one day for one purpose: to raise awareness about the challenges of poverty in North Georgia.

To accomplish the goal, the nonprofit agency has organized Action Dash, a family-friendly 5K run/walk on Labor Day, Sept. 2, in Atlanta, Athens, Augusta, Gainesville and Rome.

Every dollar raised will help Action Ministries achieve its mission of mobilizing communities to address the challenges of poverty by focusing on hunger relief, housing and education.

REVIEW, 10

“The Spectacular Now” appears to be the stereotypical teen movie, but it is so much more.

‘Spectacular’ one of the year’s best ‘The Spectacular Now’ JEFF MARKER jeffmarker@rocketmail.com

Film Review Athens native James Ponsoldt’s “The Spectacular Now” is a bona fide festival circuit and art house hit that is now widening into multiplexes in our area. This is the moment when the film either breaks into mainstream success or doesn’t, and few indies are more deserving of reaching a wider audience.

The movie opens with a deft sleight of hand.

High school senior Sutter Keely (Miles Teller) is trying to write a college application essay, a device we’ve seen many times. For the first 30 seconds or so, Sutter appears to be a standard stereotype of teen movies. He is popular, selfabsorbed and unconcerned with anything other than being the life of the party. He believes he and his girlfriend, Cassidy (Brie Larson), are the royal couple of the high school party scene.

Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley in a scene from “The Spectacular Now.” But by the end of this brilliant opening sequence, it’s clear this until he ends up passed out on a Woodley), a bookish good girl is not a standard genre flick. strange lawn with no idea where who avoids cliques while biding What Sutter has deluded his car is.

She is a person of carpe diem behavior is actually a more painful, emotional substance, responsibility and destructive.

It briefly nods to what puts it, once you get to know gracefully through a life we expect from teen movies, Aimee, you see how beautiful everyone else envies, but in but then reaches for something she is. The two fall deeper in truth he is a barely functional more profound. Ponsoldt lets love as Sutter is forced to take alcoholic whom his peers view us know before the title even increasingly harder looks at who as a joke. appears we are about to go well he really is and what he might We watch him careen further beyond the superficial, tired become. out of control — the film’s style tropes of the genre.

“The Spectacular Now” expresses this transition by There on the lawn, Sutter will appeal to young adult growing increasingly chaotic — meets Aimee Finecky (Shailene audiences, but it will also ring

Starring: Miles Teller, Shailene Woodley, Brie Larson, Masam Holden, Dayo Okeniyi Rated: R, for alcohol use, language and some sexuality — all involving teens Runtime: 1 hour, 35 minutes Bottom line: One of the year’s best, with local ties

Teller and Woodley is simply extraordinary. Sutter’s relationship with his mother (Jennifer Jason Leigh) is difficult but realistic. When he meets his father (Kyle Chandler), whom he hasn’t seen since he was a boy, it’s flat out heartbreaking.

And one scene between Sutter and his boss (Bob Odenkirk) is not only flawlessly acted, it contains one of the most insightful single lines of dialogue I’ve ever heard.

Ponsoldt is fond of long takes and a slowly moving camera. He uses that style to allow his actors to explore their characters, and it pays off over For Get Out and over again in this movie.

Sutter ultimately achieves a bit of wisdom well beyond his years true for more mature viewers. It’s — a point that shouldn’t be not primarily a nostalgic movie, understated. “The Spectacular yet it nails the perilous transition Now” offers a genuine epiphany into adulthood so honestly it’s and does so without pandering impossible not to reflect on that or beating us over the head. period of our own lives.

‘Closed Circuit’ a post-privacy thriller

By Jocelyn Noveck Associated Press

We’re all being watched.

All the time.

That’s a key message of “Closed Circuit,” an entertaining and wellcrafted if not overly heartstopping British conspiracy thriller starring Eric Bana and Rebecca Hall. Security cameras are everywhere, giving us birds-eye glimpses of each character, and reminding us that we, too, are never really alone.

Such a concept is hardly shocking in 2013. After all, we write an email, and soon an ad pops up telling us where to buy that thing we sort of mentioned. And of course we’ve learned in recent months not only of secret government surveillance but even the “Boyfriend Tracker” app for our phones. Perhaps we really do live in a postprivacy era.

But if it’s not a shocking concept, the makers of “Closed Circuit,” an intelligent film directed

by John Crowley, have certainly shown how creepy it can be. In the London we see here — one of the most watched places in the world, we learn, in terms of security cameras — you never know who’s around the corner, or who’s been in your apartment, leaving a book slightly askew on your shelf. You don’t know who that cab driver or dinnerparty companion truly is. You don’t even know which side your closest colleagues are on.

At least, such is life for Martin Rose (Bana) and Claudia Simmons-Howe (Hall), two lawyers who become ensnared in the legal case surrounding a

‘Closed Circuit’ Starring: Eric Bana, Rebecca Hall, Jim Broadbent, Julia Stiles Rated: R, for language and brief violence Runtime: 1 hours, 36 minutes

horrific terror attack, the bombing of a bustling London food market.

As the film begins, we’re staring, fittingly, at footage from security cameras — eventually 15 of them. Each captures a snippet of life on a busy November morning.

In one frame, a truck shows up where it’s not supposed to. In an instant, 120 people are dead.

Rowing peacefully on the Thames, Martin gets a call. The lawyer defending the lone surviving terror suspect has committed suicide. Work pressure and all that. Martin’s been tapped to replace him.

As for Claudia, she’s the Special Advocate, an additional defense lawyer designated by British law to examine secret evidence to be presented in “closed session,” away from the public and the press. Even Martin cannot see this evidence.

And he’s not allowed to communicate with Claudia.

This is easy at first, since the two happen to be estranged lovers. They’re ambitious enough not to reveal their past romantic entanglement and thus get removed from the case. But if they’re found out, it could end their careers.

And nothing goes according to plan, of course. As the two are drawn together by circumstance as well as their obvious mutual attraction — this is a movie,

remember, and lawyers are extremely attractive in movies, even in those odd British wigs — they find themselves having to meet secretly, blatantly defying their superiors.

A smart script by Steven Knight keeps the action humming along smoothly and concisely — if sometimes, it must be said, a bit illogically.

And the two main actors are a pleasure to watch. Bana seethes with frustration and encroaching fear, and looks wonderful doing it. As for Hall, this terrific actress brings the film much of its humanity, striking that difficult balance of competence and determination tempered by a growing recognition of her frailty.

A top-notch supporting cast features the always excellent Ciaran Hinds as Martin’s close colleague, Denis Moschitto as the frightened defendant, Julia Stiles as an American journalist who’s perhaps digging too deep, and, finally, the wonderful Jim Broadbent as the Attorney General — Martin’s boss.

You’ve seen Broadbent as Denis Thatcher and as Bridget Jones’ dad; now watch him play an oily official whose cordial smile seems pasted on his face. Never has an invitation to breakfast from the boss sounded quite so unappealing.
