Jane's rental to the Queen from the Telephone Factory roof

I go to events so I can enjoy the buildings. I usually enjoy the events too. That's the case with my 3rd Telephone Factory Art Show and Sale. I'll see you there next December, OK?

Artist Emily D. Cameron was showing.

P1020879-2011-12-04-Telephone-Factory-Tour-Show-artist-Emily-D-Cameron
We sent a full 4-person Architecture Tourist Loft Expedition team: JoAnn, Michelle, David and me.

P1020885-2011-12-04-Telephone-Factory-Tour-Show--Barbara-Rush--D-Lammie-Hanson--TK--Lanette-Gallagher-Tryptic
The artists were friendly: Barbara Rush, D. Lammie Hanson, me, and Lanette Gallagher.

It wasn't long before we found our way to the roof top deck for a video panorama. Watch carefully beginning at 0:30.

To get your bearings. We start facing west toward downtown, we look down at the Beltline, then Midtown, Buckhead, toward Virginia Highlands, Jane's place is due east, to the south is the Beltline.


The top floor was Jane Fonda's Atlanta Home. It's right next door to the Telephone Factory, a stones throw from the Carter Center. Jane has moved out. You'll probably enjoy "Queen Latifah rents Jane Fonda's Atlanta condo."

I met pottery artist Lori Buff (left) at the factory 2 years ago. This time JoAnn and I fell in love with and bought Lori's little blue vase decorated somehow with horse hair. but no horses were harmed. You can't see the vase until Christmas. Look for Lori next year in 102, a wonderful corner loft.

I met artist/photographer Susan Poindexter (right) at a past tour. She prints architecture photos on fabric. This is an Architecture Tourist "2-fer". She made a sale while we watched.

I love the old cafeteria in the factory. It's on the SW corner with huge windows and curvy roof. It's a great room, I think.

Panorama from the roof with Ralph and Ruth

Don't say I didn't tell you. There is more next week. Mark you calendars for next year.

We did the The Stacks Lofts + Artists Tour at the Fulton Bag Mill; we did the Ponce Crush Gallery Art Stroll; we did the Telephone Factory Art Show & Sale. We had time for some football too.

Check my Flickr page for the pictures. I only have have time to show you my first panorama.


One of the delights of the Bag Mill was meeting and touring with Ruth and Ralph. They live in a loft in Decatur and therefore, are cooler than you or me. Here they are on the rooftop deck of Building H looking towards Stone Mountain.

But I want to show you the panorama from building E. It starts looking west towards the Georgia State Capital. There is a bit of glare from the late afternoon sun.

Here you go. It' more fun if you watch it full screen.



Here are a few teasers:

Big Art in Castleberry Hill: Hense and "Blue Husky"

Caslteberry Point Lofts commissioned graffiti artist Hense and SCAD students David Fields, Chris Wright, and Will Young to do BIG art pieces. This is a detail from Hense.


If you've seen much Graffiti in Atlanta, you've seen the "Hense" tag. I'm fine with legal graffiti not so fine with illegal. In any case Hense is a major Atlanta artist able to manage large projects, difficult working conditions, and crews of assistants. He has worked internationally. Hense may well be the most "seen" Atlanta artist.

It's not the best time for downtown rentals so developer Jerry Miller commissioned 2 large scale works for the Castleberry Point retail space at the corner of Nelson and Walker Streets just south of Downtown Atlanta. This is from Hense. The girls at my house think it's a flower garden:
P1010082-2010-03-12-Castleberry-Point-Hense
See the exit sign over the door? This thing is big.

This is the view from outside. See the blue to the right? That's "Blue Husky."
P1010097-2010-03-12-Castleberry-Point-From-Outside-Left-Hense-Right-Blue-Husky

Blue Husky is more than 250 feet of plastic, lit from underneath, animated by huge fans.
P1010085-2010-03-12-Castleberry-Point-Wave-Fan-End-by-David-Fields-Chris-Wright-Will-Young-Blue-Husky

Words and pictures fail me. A walk or drive by Blue Husky will reveal a huge but safe Tsunami-in-a-loft.

Here are the artists who created Blue Husky. Those men had been working hard on a mammoth scale.

A bit of video


The best way to see this is at the 2nd Friday Castleberry Hill Art Stroll. The next one on on April 9, 2010. The weather should be pretty good.

Thanks,
Terry

Artists: 2009 Telephone Factory Art Show Atlanta

I'm participating in Metamorphosis Monday at Between Naps on the Porch. Thanks to Susan! This used to be a telephone factory and it was built to last. Now it's an art, design, and coolness factory. Once a year we get a look inside. Design fans, you'll want to see the a few pictures of a French style collection in the postscript.

Fun art...
