LOOK FOR THE RED BINS THIS WEEKEND!
ABV GALLERY and the WESTSIDE GALLERIES (WAD)
TCP and The Addo Foundation present a citywide Summer Art Supply Drive
Continuing throughout the summer local businesses and galleries will be uniting through a common cause to raise art supplies for TCP's Community Arts Program (CAP) outreach initiatives. CAP's focus is on mentoring "at-risk" youth through the arts. CAP's upcoming outreach will target programs that may not have arts education, and that struggle with resources.
Our 2011-2012 outreach will benefit the youth artists of One Love Generation, Jacob's Ladder, and the Georgia Justice Project

EXHIBITION DATES: JUNE 17 - JULY 30, 2011
Internet culture has undoubtedly affected how we gather and connect nuggets of information. No longer are we bound to particular chronologies. Artists have been known to use loosely associated images and information to gesture abstractly toward a concept. This exhibition illustrates the fluidity of connections both in the content of individual works and in the style in which it is presented. Weinberger states that "by removing the central control points, the Web enabled a self-organizing, self-stimulated growth of contents and links on a scale the world has literally never before experienced." He continues that, "The Web has blown documents apart. It treats tightly bound volumes like a collection of ideas. . . The reader can consult in the order she or he wants, regardless of the author's intentions."
Small Pieces, Loosely Joined has noted that tightly-bound articles are now ripped into pieces and thrown into the air. As we continue to practice information gathering that is less linear, we learn to accept and digest content in loosely associative clusters and interchangeable, floating fragments.

Closing Sun, June 19! Two exhibitions that combine expressive gestures, sensual materials, and space-altering invention. Works by Jessica Jackson Hutchins bring together glazed ceramic vessels nestled into altered furniture, and mixed media works on paper combining printmaking, collage, and drawing/writing. John Heward is one of Canada’s most respected artists, and his formal investigations into the possibilities of painting and sculpture are well known in that country; this is the first major presentation of his work in the United States.

http://www.fluxprojects.org/films.html
“Marwencol” continues through June 25. “Hogancamp’s project is undoubtedly a textbook example of outsider art, and enthralls for that genre’s particular reasons—aesthetic innocence, genuine otherness. But even without knowledge of the artist’s life, the photos step beyond neo-kitsch into a realm where child-like transference merges with a dramatic grandeur to create both a feeling of vintage Hollywood artifice and authentic pathos.“ — Michael Atkinson, The Village Voice, October 6 2010

EMILY AMY GALLERY
1000 Marietta Street NW, Suite 208 (404) 877-5626
www.emilyamygallery.com Open 11am – 5pm
Michael Abrams: The Haunting Hudson. Growing up in Rensselear County in upstate New York would eventually have a profound influence on Michael Abrams’ artistic career, although he was not aware of it then. The views out his childhood bedroom window of the Hudson River Valley became deeply engrained in his subconscious and have since become the predominant subject of his work. The landscapes are loosely based on these Hudson River Valley vistas he remembers but are also partially fabricated in his imagination. The combination makes for atmospheric, luminescent and ethereal paintings created from layering glazes from semi-transparent to opaque. The result is a beautifully rendered edenic nature of Abrams’ own personal invention.

This show is presented in partnership with Modern Atlanta and with support from Son & Sons. Additional information can be found at www.southerndesignconcern.com

662 11th St. NW. (678) 596-4451.
www.getthisgallery.com Open Noon – 5pm.
On view in the gallery: Gone With the Twins by Atlanta based female street art duo, Paper Twins. Edgar and Nica met in Atlanta when they started working in the same coffee shop. Having different backgrounds, they became infatuated with each other’s cultures, sharing music and films and spending long nights telling each other stories. Little did they know that these stories were the stepping stones of a new body of work. Wood, sand, sound, grain, grass… They used everything they could to coax these stories and memories to come alive again. But memories will never come alive again. Don’t be fooled; experiences and stories are distorted with time and after the years you end up telling your stories the way you want to remember them, romanticizing hardship, chuckling at deep-rooted superstitions and seeing the past through affection-tinted eyes.
SALTWORKS
*Final Day*
664 11th St. NW. (404) 881-0411.
www.saltworksgallery.com Open Noon – 5pm.
Saltworks is pleased to present Black Drawings works by Atlanta-based Cuban artist Alejandro Aguilera. The Black Drawings began as “formal experiments in technique and improvisation inspired by music, textile design through geometrical forms and the natural landscape.” The works then expanded to incorporate early modernist takes on African Art specifically those from the art historical movements of Primitivism, Cubism and Futurism. Since his arrival to Atlanta, Aguilera added the Southern Vernacular Art to his library of influences.
