Daniel Fuller, who joined the Atlanta Contemporary as curator in December 2014, has organized three eponymous solo shows — John Riepenhoff, Marlon Mullen and Aleksandra Domanović — that represent Atlanta’s first full exposure to his aesthetic bent and institutional priorities. Perhaps it’s just the ghosts of curators past, or a cautionary strategy toward more gradual…
Like a perfectly ergonomic gadget or even a well-formed haiku, the balance of beauty and function is as rare as it is sublime. WonderRoot’s Walthall Fellowship, among Atlanta’s most valuable professional development opportunities for emerging artists, succeeds where most college art programs fail: balancing aesthetic rigor with nuts-and-bolts pragmatism. Co-created by Executive Director Chris Appleton…
American post-war painter Alex Katz has built a 50-plus year career by locating the contemporary in traditional forms of painting. Emerging in New York in the 1950s and ’60s, Katz pioneered a distinct take on American realism with a flat, reductive style and cool edge. Now in his 87th year, he continues to push the…

Eyes Open Slowly, her solo exhibition at Whitespace Gallery through June 20, finds a pulse in the recently departed….
The next plastic bag you use, if not recycled, will most likely wind up in a landfill, ocean, park or beach where it will remain for thousands of years along with the other 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags that are consumed worldwide annually. If you live in Atlanta, there’s at least a chance it…
Come July, the Goat Farm will shift the locus of its programming from its 19th-century campus in West Midtown to the living, breathing streets of Atlanta.
