Brad Downey looks to the sky for his first project in Atlanta. Portrait of My
Father, an aerial banner, will be visible throughout the city. The project will
feature a cloud taken from an old photograph of Downey’s father piloting an
airplane. As Downey explains, “even today when I think of my father I imagine
him somewhere in the clouds looking at vast landscapes imagining how slow the
rest of the world is moving... The portrait is not just the cloud but also the
plane and the pilot.” Presented in conjunction with the Westside Art
Walk. ATLANTA CONTEMPORARY ART

Panting draws its inspiration from Painters Painting, a 1972 documentary
examining American art movements from Abstract Expressionism to Pop. This
exhibition features 7 painters (David Diao, Craig Drennen, Saul Fletcher, Alex
Hubbard, Judy Ledgerwood, Chris Martin, Jennifer West) addressing conditions of
exhaustion and desire; using aspects of art history, music, Shakespeare, and the
decorative; and making photographs, films, and videos that express the joy of
studio experiments and collaborations. Final week! Closes June 24.

 {Poem88}*1pm, artists
In Kyoung Chun, Ryan Coleman, and Helen Ferguson Crawford speak about their
work 1100 Howell Mill Road Suite A03 White Provision Building www.poem88.net,
hrs: Wed-Sat, noon to 6pm; by appointment 404.735.1000 For our summer
exhibition, {Poem88} presents Living
Color Redux: a second look at the formal aspects of color expressed in the
work of David D’Agostino, Ryan Coleman, In Kyoung Chun, Helen Ferguson Crawford,
Ryan Nabulsi, and Drew Tyndell. In both non-objective and representational
works, these artists rely on the relationships of color and form in vibrant,
luscious, meditative and even mysterious ways. While many of the artists may
initiate the work as an exploration of landscape, there appears to be an organic
devolution into something entirely without form or only loosely hinting at form.
Each artist uses their own strategy to arrive at a unique balance between
luminosity and chroma through assorted media including assemblage, camera-less
photography and more straightforward painting. (image courtesy of Helen Ferguson
Crawford and {Poem88}).

tel 404-877-5626, hrs 11 – 5pmEmily Amy Gallery is pleased to present our
first solo exhibition for Massachusetts-based painter, Bernd Haussmann. The
show, entitled Darwin’s Coral, will include new works in a variety of media and
in an assortment of sizes, ranging from small intimate works on panel to large
abstract canvases. The show’s title is a reference both to the broader concept
of evolution and the natural world that is so critical to Haussmann’s work and
process as well as to the more blatant patterns that often appear in this new
series. In addition to the new collection of paintings that will be on view,
there will also be several short films broadcast during the show that will
allude to the elusive yet familiar natural world. Fall Line Press1000

Open 8am – 11pm In Mike Germon's new body of work "Glyph", the usual state of
his collages, often small and dense with religious and scientific references, is
abandoned for larger, more graphic compositions. This small collection of new
pieces reflects a fascination with typography and geometry that hasn't yet had
the proper forum for exploration in previous work. Germon holds a BFA in Fine
Art/Digital Media from The University of Georgia and is currently the gallery
manager for MINT Gallery. Check out more of his work at

Hudson Gallery is pleased to announce a solo exhibit for Katie Walker entitled:
If Walls Could Talk. Katie Walker describes her work as a calculatory process;
where the dialectic, energy and the opposing forces are complete to her. Walker
manipulates her paintings to build a language of personal imagery that is
aesthetically pleasing, thought provoking and at times, humorous. She works
primarily with acrylic on canvas, paper and wood. Katie Walker lives and works
Greenville, SC.
