SCAD Atlanta
Events Space, Fourth Floor, Building C
1600 Peachtree St. NE
Join us Thursday, October 3, for an artist panel discussion featuring four artists represented in the new SCAD Atlanta photography exhibition, Manipulated: Brooklyn-based photographer Dan Estabrook, Atlanta-based artist Radcliffe Bailey, SCAD Atlanta photography professor V. Elizabeth Turk and SCAD Atlanta art history professor Emily Webb, Ph.D, and assistant curator Alexandra Sachs will moderate.
The panel will explore how a recent revival of more labor-intensive traditional and avant-garde techniques, such as camera obscura, photograms, silver gelatin and Van Dyke prints attest to an energized state of expression in contemporary photography and its creative potential to merge with drawing, collage, painting and installation.
The exhibition and panel discussion are held in conjunction with Atlanta Celebrates Photography 2013.
A progressive tour of SCAD Atlanta galleries immediately follows the Manipulated panel discussion.
The panel discussion, gallery hop and exhibitions are free and open to the public.
Current exhibitions on view at SCAD Atlanta include:
Manipulated: Contemporary Conceptual Photography
Through December 27
Gallery See
Manipulated features the innovative work of 10 contemporary artists who use experimental and often alternative studio and darkroom processes to expand the expressive possibilities and structure of making photographs. As digital cameras have steadily replaced film over the past decade, Photoshop and other editing tools have made photograph “processing” a largely computer-aided activity devoid of direct manipulation by the artist’s hand. The recent revival of more labor-intensive traditional and avant-garde techniques, such as camera obscura, photograms, silver gelatin and Van Dyke prints, attest to an energized state of expression in contemporary photography and its creative potential to merge with drawing, collage, painting and installation. Featured photographers include Kim Anno, Radcliffe Bailey, Christopher Bucklow, Chuck Close, Dan Estabrook, Abelardo Morell, Richard Mosse, Mariah Robertson, Alison Rossiter, and SCAD Atlanta professor of photography V. Elizabeth Turk.
Pretty in Ink
Through October 4
Trois Gallery
Pretty in Ink features recent prints and works on paper that exemplify the dynamism, creativity and originality of women artists working in the printmaking departments at SCAD Atlanta and SCAD Savannah. Curated by assistant curator Alexandra Sachs, this exhibition features SCAD professors Debora Oden, Eun Sook Lee and Cynthia Lollis alongside printmaking alumnae and current graduate students. Pretty in Ink displays their broad variety of artistic approaches, from traditional printmaking techniques of etching and lithography, to more experimental practices that include sculptural installation and conceptual artist books.
Rosemarie Fiore: Firework Drawings
Through December 6
Gallery 1600
Curated by senior curator Melissa Messina, Rosemarie Fiore’s Firework Drawings offers a selection of large-scale works on paper created using live fireworks and their pigments. Employing this distinctive medium in a performative process, Fiore strikes a balance between control and chance, the lasting and the evanescent. This dynamic selection demonstrates a strong interplay between powdery, amorphous ground and a complex and sophisticated manipulation of line, color and collage that in turn translates the raw energy and refined excitement of a fireworks display.
These exhibitions are free and open to the public.
