Review: Despite an abundance of objects, Lillian Blades’ work is far from chaotic

Rebecca Brantley·October 11, 2016

I recently visited September Gray’s Old Fourth Ward location — a relatively new addition to Atlanta’s gallery scene — on a sunny afternoon to see Lillian Blades’ Fractal Reflections (on view through October 21). I had the good fortune of running into the artist herself, who was manning the gallery and playing upbeat music as she worked on a new piece. Blades, a native of Nassau, Bahamas, and a longtime resident of Atlanta, offered to turn the music off, but I declined. It was pleasant and energetic, much like her collection of wall hangings.

Review: “Systems” at Swan Coach House is a systematic exploration of art-making

Dinah McClintock·August 22, 2016

My immediate impression upon entering Systems at the Swan Coach House Gallery (August 11 – September 23) was that the name was abstruse, and that there must be an arcane system behind the explosion of miscellany that covered the walls and spilled onto the floor of the entrance foyer.

ArtsATL Teen Correspondents: 5 Playgrounds in Atlanta that also act as art

Jahleelah Shaheed·August 8, 2016

It’s the 21st century, and playgrounds aren’t just for children anymore. With innovative architecture and developments in kid-safe materials, the neighborhood playground has become more than a slide and a set of swings.
