Herbert Creecy (1939-2003) remains a Georgia-based painter who has yet to be satisfactorily categorized because of the exuberant diversity of his aesthetic choices. With Herbert Creecy: Made in Space, Paintings from 1992-2001, at Johnson Lowe Gallery through April 19, Gallery Director Donovan Johnson has curated a show that gives us yet another hitherto unnoticed aspect…
Call and Response, at the Michael C. Carlos Museum through June 22, is one of the most gorgeous and profound exhibitions you are likely to see this year. Carlos Museum Director Henry Kim is correct when he calls it one of the most important shows the museum has presented. Both edgy and appealing, it gives…
Picture Worlds: Greek, Maya, and Moche Pottery, at the Michael C. Carlos Museum through December 15, is a visually handsome work of meticulous scholarship that attempts to bridge some of the greatest divisions that museums of art and archaeology confront today in terms of addressing ethnically and socially diverse audiences. The exhibition addresses the ways…
Echoes, at Callanwolde Fine Arts Center through September 26, honors the centenary of Andre Breton’s Surrealist Manifesto by setting out to demonstrate the global impact of the Surrealist impulse through an extraordinarily diverse array of work by a multigenerational selection of works by 30 artists, most of whom are based in metro Atlanta. The 12-page…
Two very different exhibitions currently on view demonstrate how in visual art — to modify a no longer popular saying — what you see is not necessarily what you get. Invisible Forces, at Johnson Lowe Gallery through September 14, is explicitly devoted to showing what is invisible within the visible in art, what the exhibition…

Gallery 100 has flourished in an iconic downtown building with no signage and only modest publicity.

Two exhibitions currently on display in Atlanta illustrate the growing number of world cultures represented in the city. They also illustrate the difficulty of complete cross-cultural comprehension. Darya Fard and Lizzy Storm’s Myth Material, at Georgia State University’s Ernest G. Welch School of Art & Design Gallery through August 29, involves the theme of, in…
By sheer chance, two of the multimedia arts centers with studio artist programs that are flourishing on metro Atlanta’s Southside are presenting exhibitions that illustrate the range of spaces and the historical depth of exhibition programs of the many alternative spaces now hosting regular exhibitions. For the 40th anniversary of the ArtsXchange (AXC), curator and…
On exhibit at Wolfgang Gallery through May 18, Stephen Thorpe’s Who Looks Outside, Dreams; Who Looks Inside, Awakes is a paradoxical new body of work continuing Thorpe’s prior vision in a regionally distinct register that reflects the years the New York-based British artist spent teaching in Georgia. The work is paradoxical because although Thorpe celebrates…
Amanda Grae Platner’s It’s Still Not Me, It’s You, at Echo Contemporary Art through April 20, is a body of work with uncomfortable implications about the inability of persons “to acknowledge perspectives outside of their own experiences,” as Platner’s artist’s statement puts it. This goes far beyond the incomprehension of visible behaviors in the case…
