Preview: Jiha Moon’s new solo opens Saturday at Saltworks
The imagery in Jiha Moon’s paintings can thunder with laughter, whisper of legends long forgotten and some yet to be lived, and shed mournful tears of dripping blue and pink paint. Her new exhibition, opening at Saltworks Gallery this Saturday, January 23, from 6-9PM, is titled Blue Peony and Impure Thoughts. As Atlanta-based curator... »

Jabari Anderson’s Ten Panthers: Extended edition
I’ve become a fan of DVD extras over the years. For that reason, I’ve provided a list of goodies loosely themed after Saltworks Gallery’s current exhibit. My review appears in today’s print edition of Creative Loafing. An excerpt: “But what does kung fu have to do with being black? Although Anderson’s mythology calls to mind... »
To Do List
Between a series of drawings at Saltworks Gallery loosely themed after Kung Fu training manuals and the Avant Garden discussion panel on journalism and blogging at the Contemporary, there’s plenty of variety in the week ahead.

To Do List
I’ve been thinking about the future lately, in light of the spectacular feedback we’ve received after GATHER Atlanta. It seems we’ve hit a nerve, in more ways than one. »
Elsewhere — Group Show at Saltworks
Elsewhere is a quiet, underwhelmingly beautiful show, a “sophomore” effort by curator Shinique Smith (herself an artist of some note). Dreamily, Elsewhere pines toward nature and away from urbanism. (Of course, it’s funny that most of the artists in the show choose to live in the largest metropolis in America ….) From its location... »
