Join us in celebrating the official opening of The Athenaeum, the University of Georgia's newest contemporary art space located at 287 West Broad Street. The exhibition, "Trevor Paglen: Vision After Seeing",  features a series of primarily large-scale landscape photographs and video by the innovative artist who uses contemporary technology to deftly interrogate ways of seeing in the 21st century. The New York Times calls Paglen one of our "foremost artists drawing attention to the power and ubiquity of surveillance technology." 

A world-class contemporary art gallery affiliated with the University of Georgia, the Athenaeum will bring the work of internationally and nationally acclaimed artists to the University’s newly established innovation district. Located in the heart of downtown Athens, it will be the largest contemporary art space in the city and function as a dynamic cultural destination, accessible to all of Athens citizens and visitors.
