Background

Scope and content:

This collection includes hand written questions and answers to and from each of the artists featured in the book Athens Potluck. The notes were written on a variety of materials including a vinyl record, a record sleeve, paper scraps, cardboard, canvas, and a ping pong paddle.

Biographical / historical:

In 2017 photographer Jason Thrasher published Athens Potluck, a book that tells a story about the Athens music scene. He selected the first musician to be photographed, asked a series of questions, and then asked the subject to select the next person he should visit. Following this pattern he photographed 33 musicians at home or in the studio. The series veered from the E-6 Collective to rock, to traditional old-time music, to punk, to country and back to indie again, with musicians driving the project forward as they passed the baton from one to the next.
