JR comes to Atlanta for Living Walls

JR, a semi-anonymous French street artist, uses his camera to show the world its true face by pasting photos of the human face across massive canvases all around the world; presenting viewers with the question, "Can art change the world?" Touring city after city, country after country, pasting his larger than life pieces across buildings and walls, JR has brought his talents to Atlanta by way of the Living Walls organization. For this project, JR appropriately chose to tackle Civil Rights, an issue that was so monumental to the formation of the look and feel of Atlanta. Reflecting on the 50th Anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, the city that Dr. King and countless other Civil Rights leaders built is paid homage to through a series of three large prints, featuring actual images taken during the March on Washington in 1963.

Understandably, not everyone will be able to view this series in person, so we've taken images of all of the pieces and included them below along with locations for those who want to check it out for themselves:

Located on the intersection of Hillard St. and Auburn Ave.

A Good Time was had by All

A great evening at Castello Dal Pozzo. Costumes, masks, DJ's, flowing bars and lots of trendy people are the formula for a successful event.

The Carnival Party at Castello Dal Pozzo went off extremely well. The weather was relatively kind which made parking easier and people arrived throughout the evening, so no long queues at the entrance. The early birds came for Drinks and Buffet Dinner and then afterwards our great barmen worked wonders all evening, ensuring that all requests were met without delays and the vodka was kept flowing all night.

The DJays pounded out great dance music through to 3.00am, when the revellers were forced to go home reluctantly and shed their magnificent costumes. It was marvellous to see the effort that most people had put into their costumes, almost everyone was masqueraded and the theme, Past and Present, allowed lots of leeway for interpretation. It was interesting to see how many chose to come dressed in some variation of the 1950/60 Flower Power and Flower children. The future was not really represented, the Past went back to Greek Goddesses and Roman Centurions.

See you all in June for our mid summer night Revel.
