Walking into Neda Abghari’s home is not unlike walking into a flea market booth. The walls are covered in local artwork, empty antique frames, and several kitschy Christ and Last Supper portraits. Every room boasts ample seating from a number of antique couches that the Atlanta native and Iranian first generation American, Abghari has been [...]

Coming up this Saturday, January 29, at Stuart McClean Gallery is the next installation of the World Wide Art Federation, titled The Art of War of Art, a rebellious attempt at fighting the Man from banning art in public schools by using skills, kung fu, and smack-talking from the Blaxploitation era.

My initial impression of Embodying, currently on view at the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center (ACAC), came from an enticing look-see through the front windows on a rainy Monday. The galleries were closed, but Dana Schutz’s iconic work, also on display in a separate exhibition (click here to read our interview), whispered seductively from the neighboring [...]

01/19/11 Interview: Dana Schutz, a New York painter learning how to draw again

01/18/11 Archetype Gallery begins 2011 with fresh artists, new arts magazine
