by Mark Katzman Upon an initial look into the filled-to-capacity 40 Watt with small tables staged tightly together and a slew of people sharing ideas and selling (or giving away or exchanging) their comics, mini-comics, artist books, graphic novels, art prints/etchings, self-published books, wonderfully weird zines and book […]
by Bowen Craig I should go ahead and admit up front that, when I agreed to cover this event, I didn’t know fuck all about wrestling. BUT, after a few hours watching this pageant, this entertainment explosion, this show that caters-to-the-whims-of-the-audience better than theatre, better than music, better […]
by Kat of Typographies As a kid, one of my family’s most scintillating excursions out of the cracked concrete meth den of our south Kansas City neighborhood was to a lake a little ways from town called, with typical Midwestern extravagance, Smithville Lake. The drive – three little […]
by Bowen Craig Mainly because I find it fun, and because we at Athens Uncharted really do want to invite everyone to join us here to revel in the thriving local Athens art scene, I have penned a third installment to this Hollywood-laced proffer to check out our […]
by Mark Katzman / Cover photo: Jason Thrasher The word ambient in Latin, ambiēns, means “going around.” Encircling, enveloping, surrounding. In the musical sphere, atmospheric. Ambient music creates a feeling; a mysterious experience which unfolds uniquely for each listener. It’s a genre of electronic music that emphasizes tone […]
by Bowen Craig America has gone a little crazy with the pumpkin spicing, but pumpkins themselves are a pretty sane vegetable. They symbolize a season. They’re heavy and funky-looking. They delight children. They’re America’s temporary Fall furniture that we get to decorate ourselves, scare a few children with, enjoy and then watch […]
LURE TO THE WORLD PT. 2 by Bowen Craig In Athens Uncharted’s ongoing attempt to attract e-visitors from around the world, I, and my cohort, Mark Katzman, have decided to appeal directly to various countries. So far, we’ve begged residents of Zanzibar, Burma, Moldova, and Belize to check […]
by Bowen Craig LURE TO THE WORLD Pt. 1 The title of this article is a pop culture reference waaaayy too old for the Internet. If I didn’t hate Millennials with such a burning passion, I might actually listen to them or care what they think. There was a […]
Oscar Wilde said (sort of) that all we need to do to recapture our youth is keep on fucking up the same ways we did when we were young. Because I think if he were alive today he would appreciate my taste in disco pants and spoiled ne’er-do-well […]
by Bowen Craig Whenever Athens Uncharted gets a hit from a country that sounds more interesting than the one I’m currently in, I want to write about it. So far, it’s just Martinique and Somalia, and I’m kind of wavering on Somalia. Other than the higher-than-I’m-comfortable-with likelihood of […]
by Bowen Craig The debut novel, Tobias, by local author/mycologist/woodworker/entrepreneur/romantic/musical hermit, Chevy Mize, is, among other things, an exploration of the mind of the mentally-ill narrator, who may or may not be a serial killer. Reading Tobias is a multi-level experience: interior/exterior, the face one presents to the world/the face one hides, […]
I met with Jacob Waddell, Director of the US Hemp Building Association, outside of the WNC Ag Center in Asheville, North Carolina, on July 26, 2021. The following day he was on the Industry Hemp Panel at SAHAE (Southern Atlantic Hemp & Arts Expo). The Southern Atlantic Hemp […]
During the course of being interviewed, local artist Lois Songster, an environmentalist and a true plant-person, helped me water and care for my plants. In the process she discovered a little “Hello” sign and a pair of sunglasses, neither of which I’d ever seen before. Either she’s so […]
I should call this something alliterative and dopey, like “Pands.” “Lugubrious in Lock-down,” “An Agoraphobic Apocalypse,” “Qualities of a Quagmire in Quarantine,” or some play on an old song like that joke hasn’t been made a million times before. It’s the End of the World as We Know […]
I spoke with Adria Stembridge at the Tate Center at UGA on February 26, 2021. Being masked and distanced proved to be somewhat challenging as there were students scattered here and there, mostly masked. We found a good spot upstairs where it was nearly vacant and spoke for […]
Artist, actor, Athenian and all-around awesome local, Mallory Moye spoke with Athens Uncharted (via Zoom, but what are you gonna do?) about her life the other day…and it is a life to be admired and emulated, a life full of four-legged companions, paint, and less drama than it […]
I have spent a lot of my adult life in bars. This is largely because I am an alcoholic, but also because I am a lonely masochist with an obsessive need to observe other human beings. I love, perversely, sitting by myself, eavesdropping on the conversations of strangers […]
I spoke with Jordan A. Rothacker, 43, in October 2020, distanced, on his porch at his home in Athens, where he lives with his wife and two young children. First, he gave me a quick look of his library, which is a significant collection of fiction and non-fiction […]
I spoke with David Noah in late September, 2020, on the eve of his virtual exhibition at Athica, Masked/Unmasked, curated by Lucy Reback, with the managers of the virtual platform, The Exhibit, in New Zealand. Is there a larger flashpoint of controversy, opinions and conflicting/competing scientific information that […]
As I walked into the rehearsal space I happened upon a conversation I have stereotypically imagined most bands having – What are we going to change our name to next? There were two Johns (Norris and Prechtel), and an Antoon. Andrea DeMarcus (Cicada Rhythm) and Adam Poulin who […]
