Latin American Artists Exhibit at the Marietta Cobb Art Museum

Post • Published January 10, 2022

“Something to Declare” is a group exhibition featuring over twenty Latin-American artists from across the eastern United States. The exhibition aims to discuss and analyze some of the conditions and circumstances relevant to the artists’ individual autonomy, what drives them to create, and their desire to proclaim in a collective setting that, “we are here.” This exhibition also explores the concept that ideas, customs, and objects can travel between cultures, and identities are often layered. This exhibition features art from Dodd graduate student Paula Reynaldi. Paula was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and currently lives in Athens, GA,...

Post • Published November 22, 2021

Faculty member Benjamin Britton exhibits at Marcia Wood Gallery December 2-8, 2021. The opening will take place from 7-9pm on Thursday, December 2 at 764 Miami Circle NE STE 150, Atlanta, GA 30324. Composed of five paintings installed together, “a flicker in the field” is 7’6” high and 34’2” wide. The piece makes an invitation to look through its colorful and peculiar layering of landscape, perspectival hard-edge abstract forms, and trompe l’oeil gouges containing representational vignettes that float on top of the paintings. In these works the act of looking is foregrounded through the mutability of the space and dizzying changes in...

MFA Alumni Curates Exhibition at Museum of Modern Art

Post • Published November 1, 2021

Paul Galloway (MFA 2004) co-curated the exhibition Automania at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), along with curators Juliet Kinchin and Andrew Gardner. “Automania takes an in-depth look at an object that has inspired countless examples of innovation, social transformation, and critical debate among designers and artists working in varied media. This exhibition addresses the conflicted feelings—compulsion, fixation, desire, and rage—that developed in response to cars and car culture in the 20th century. Examining automobiles as both modern industrial products and style icons, it also explores their adverse impact on roads and streets, public health, and the planet’s ecosystems.” In...

FlucT to perform at the Athenaeum

Post • Published October 1, 2021

New York-based experimental performance duo, FlucT, will perform at the Athenaeum on Friday, November 12th at 7pm. The group consisting of Sigrid Lauren and Monica Mirabile, blur the boundary between art experiences and reality. Their compositions of violently intimate choreography, sculpture, video, and pop-media samples oscillate uncomfortably between the familiar and grotesque. Throughout their performances, expectations and social structures built into the spectacle, and, ultimately, into the reality we all live in, become conspicuous. Often, relief from interpretation comes at last when an apparent glitch causes that reality to relinquish its grip on Lauren and Mirabile. By rendering themselves illegible...
