Charles Huntley Nelson on CNN

For those folks who have been following this blog for a while you've probably picked up on my interest in the work of Atlanta-based artist Charles Huntley Nelson. Sadly, I missed his artist talk at Romo Gallery before I left Atlanta. But now I get to see him at Romo talking about his work in a profile done by CNN, and so does everyone else. To see the video click here, then under the "Sci-Tech" heading click on "Old Media Meets New Media".

Nelson talks about his Invisible Man 2.0 series (see image at left, courtesy of Code Z), and his methodological and philosophical approach to working in both traditional and digital mediums, as well as previous work such as the internet based Charles Nelson Project which came about from exploring the images of all the other folks with a visual presence on the internet with whom he shares a name. The profile also gives us a peek at some of the large scale installation work from Nelson's Constructed Identities project.

Nelson has also been featured in Code Z, for upcoming shows particularly one in his hometown of Houston, and in a profile of four Atlanta-based visual artists who have each been making a name on the national scene.
