Friday night is a big bight for art in the ATL. Castleberry is having its art stroll and Atlanta art-star Sarah Hobbs opens at Solomon.
At Garage Projects, B.E. Schellinger presents PACKAGED FOR CONVENIENCE (the smell of fear) as a follow up to last year's "Sugar Monkey" (News flash: before he and I head off to Portland, Bryan has sewn up a solo show at Romo in January 2007. Romo features Jennifer Celia this month)
From Schellinger's press release:
THE SMELL OF FEAR IS A SITE SPECIFIC, TIME SENSITIVE WORK THAT WILL INVOLVE DAISIES, CHAIRS, SOUND, WATER, VIDEO, AND LIGHT, TO SUGGEST A REFLECTIVE INNER FEAR. THIS INNER FEAR WILL CAUSE CERTAIN VIEWERS TO RELEASE THEIR OWN FEAR IN THE FORM OF SCENT. THIS PLUS THE PREVAILING FEAR BROUGHT IN FROM OUTSIDE THE SPACE, WILL BE ENHANCED THROUGH THE USE OF SOUND, BY MYSELF AND LUNAR ECLETIK.
FROM ALL THIS, A CERTAIN MUST WILL ARISE, THAT CAN THEN BE EASILY PACKAGED, AND SOLD TO THE CONSUMING PUBLIC, AS A NEW AND IMPROVED VERSION.THREE SIZES WILL BE OFFERED XL, XXL, XXXL.
Sarah Hobbs highly anticipated show at Solomon Projects opens Friday as well. Her show entitled "Does This Sound Like You" will feature new work created over the last few years. From the site, the work appears to be an expansion of her earlier "Problems In Living" series. Hobbs has received considerable national attention in the last year or two and I for one am looking forward to the new work.
.
Finally Marcia Wood is featuring a retrospective by the tantalizingly-named collective "Golden Blizzard". I presume that the work will be about pissing in an ice storm. Actually I have no idea what to expect, but I can't wait to see it.
Although not open Friday night, Jackson Fine Art has a strong show up by two of today's contemporary masters, Larry Sultan ("The Valley") and Mitch Epstein ("Recreation"). The shows will be up until the end of June.
