This Friday, January 9th, at 7:30pm is the opening for Kristen Ashburn’s “Bloodline” at Atlanta Photography Group Gallery. If you haven’t had a chance to see Ashburn’s work, here it is, as an Emmy award-nominated multimedia presentation on mediastorm.
There will be an artist’s talk on Saturday, January 31st at 10:30am, and a closing reception on March 6th, at 7:30pm. APG is located on 75 Bennett St., at the Tula Art Center.
ACP 10 participating venue Composition Gallery is having a party on Saturday, January 17th in celebration of the gallery’s 3rd anniversary. Timed with the inauguration, Creative Loafing photographer Joeff Davis’ Obama photographs will be on view, and there’ll be a silent photography auction, jewelry and artwork by Sabra Gallery, and music by Trey Wright.
Whitespace, a participating venue in ACP10, has an opening reception for their “December Show” this Saturday, at 7pm. There were be eco-friendly installations, a sustainable tree lot, and work by these artists: Jonathan Bouknight, Lauren Clay, Sarah Emerson, Fereydoon Family, Jody Fausett, Julia Hill, Anne-Marie Manker, Beth Marcum, John Otte, Mark Sandlin, Michele Schuff, Richard Sexton, Caroline Smith, Richard Sudden and Red Weldon-Sandlin.
“Bahouth respects idiosyncratic details – a stack of tattered books, a full martini glass – and can render rich surfaces almost touchable, making an intense gaze worth the effort. Each jewel-like photograph offers a tiny burst of retinal pleasure. Objects invariably shine, glitter or glow warmly. The details of hair, foliage and fabric stand out with a crispness and contrast that has all but vanished from most contemporary portraiture.”
City Issue has a photography show up during ACP (see the Festival Guide listing) featuring the work of Josef Cillo, Stephanie Dowda, Otto Kitchens, and Darrin Melton.
One of the best parts about ACP 10 is that you might stumble across an exhibition somewhere, say, when you’re out running errands. If you have an account at Sunrise Bank, you can see Lucinda Bunnen’s photography while banking.
And then there’s Karen Tauches’ event(s), too, which take alternative spaces to an entirely new level. It’s great to see new venues participating in ACP, and we’re looking forward to including more spaces that don’t traditionally exhibit photography in ACP 11!
Jerry Cullum, who judged My Atlanta this year (winners to be announced!) takes a look at the current exhibitions at two participating venues in ACP 10, Gallery Stokes and Opal Gallery.
““Animal Identity” and “Sylvania; No. 37,” at Gallery Stokes and the Opal Gallery respectively, are photo shows in which things are not what we think they are. The month of Atlanta Celebrates Photography always brings us new discoveries and happy accidents like this thematic crossover.”
Here’s a photo from the opening night of Sistagraphy’s current exhibition at New Arts Exchange.
The exhibit will continue through October 31 at the New Arts Exchange, 750 Kalb St, Atlanta 30312.
