North / South a solo exhibition by Grier Edmundson for Fall | 2008
Native Memphian Grier Edmundson's paintings evolved after returning to Memphis in 2003, having been away for six years. Reacting to his shifted perspective, the paintings he made in the two years following his return reflect his attempt to create a southern identity through a composite of ideals and images. Influenced by the writing of Flannery O’Conner, Jorge Louis Borges and William Faulkner, these intimate paintings are a collection of moments that simultaneously dwell on the subtle beauty of the south and examine its flaws and injustices.
Writer and curator Francis McKee has called The Glasgow School of Art's critically acclaimed MFA program, where Grier recently completed his degree, "a mental free state or republic of ideas". Glasgow, like Berlin, is a production city. A magnet for creative practitioners from around the world, it has that critical density of artists which enables a genuinely layered and diverse community to evolve. The vibrant artist-led culture is now complemented by a rapidly growing commercial gallery sector, which has emerged from these grassroots spaces.
While continuing his interest in the complicated history of the American South, Grier has used the distance and experiences of Glasgow to expand the focus of his work. His articulately rendered paintings serve as an examination of society through the juxtaposition of appropriated images, carefully selected from diverse source material. The non-definitive narratives that he presents undermine our assumptions of modernist history and create a platform for new interpretations of the images and the histories surrounding them.
Grier Edmundson holds degrees from the Maryland Institute College of Art and the Glasgow School of Art. His work has been in numerous exhibitions including Furthermore at Artnews Projects in Berlin, Grier and Luke Fast as F*ck: Tronjan Horse at the Project Room in Glasgow, To Hell with Dixie curated by John Weeden at Groeflin Maag Galarie in Basel, MAX 2005 at the Art Museum at University of Memphis which was curated by David Moos, and Forward/Retreat curated by Sarah Hromack at the Pinkard Gallery in Baltimore. He lives and works in Glasgow.

Changes at Memphis International Film Festival
Here's an announcement from MIFF/Memphis Film Forum:
The Memphis Film Forum has a new name – we’re now On Location: Memphis! We’re changing our name and identity to better promote the hot-bed of independent film activity in Memphis and to recognize that we are now a destination festival!! Why “On Location: Memphis”? We wanted a strong Memphis identity that was short and memorable and one that would definitely imply that Memphis is THE place to go for action and film! So reset your bookmarks to www.onlocationmemphis.org and get ready for the 9th annual Memphis International Film Fest!
What a fantastic festival we’re planning for our ninth year! Looking to emulate and even better last year’s successful festival, we eagerly anticipate presenting the very best and brightest features and short films, documentaries, and music videos from Memphis, the United States and around the world March 27 -30, 2008 at Malco Theatres!
We’re getting our plans together for March and exciting ideas are in the works, with new seminars, film series and events being programmed for the fest and throughout the year. We’ll tell you more as the dates are near. Keep checking our website!
For the upcoming festival, keep in mind that we’re always looking for volunteers throughout the year. If you would like to volunteer, please contact Pam Wells at wellsp1@onlocationmemphis.org
And if you would like to sponsor an event and help in any way with the festival, we would love to hear from you as well. It’s never too soon or too late to get involved. Contact Michele Howard Flynn at mhowardflynn@onlocationmemphis.org

Extras for this weekend
Paul Andrew Skidmore is looking for extras this weekend for a film project. He says:
"The film is written and directed by Dianne Morgan. I will be serving as her 1st Assistant Director. The story is about an interpreter for the deaf at a city council meeting. We need people to portray deaf members of the audience at the city council meeting. (Knowledge of American Sign Language is not necessary, but if you know it, even a little, you'd be indispensable!)
The shoot will take place Saturday, January 5, 2008 (this Saturday) at:
Auditorium of Ball Hall
University of Memphis
3798 Walker Street
We will need people from 10am until around 2pm.
This is a volunteer position. Some snacks may be available on set, but a meal will not be provided during this time, so please plan accordingly.
Please try to e-mail me (skidmore@visibleschool.com) if you will be coming or if you have questions. Also, pass this along to anyone else you think might be able to attend.
Thank you! Hope to see you there!"
