03/23/11 Snapshot reviews: Four galleries on a pleasant Saturday afternoon
I spent Saturday morning in crisis mode, frantically driving around Atlanta in search of a prescription for insulin. Not to be hyperbolic, but it was the worst thing that ever happened. Miserably, I trudged across the highway to the Westside, hardly expecting art to make me feel any better. To my surprise, the four recently [...]

10/01/10 Don Cooper’s paintings mesmerize at Sandler Hudson Gallery
For the past five years, Atlanta artist Don Cooper has painted concentric circles radiating from a tiny red dot called the bindu.

While BP gets lambasted for the monumental tragedy in the Gulf, an exhibition at Sandler Hudson Gallery examines the role we all play in environmental degradation.

01/14/10 Katherine Mitchell: What is beauty?
Katherine Mitchell told me that “the thing that’s frightening about beauty is its infinitude.” Her collage, What is Beauty? engages this notion via its use of text and form. The work is part of her recent solo exhibition, Correspondences, Conversations, and Texts, which was up at Sandler Hudson Gallery through January 9.

07/01/09 What's Wrong with Being a "Local" Artist?
Rarely do people set out to be “local artists”—not when the industry has become so highly professionalized, global, and grand. Although there are practitioners who bring true dignity to the phrase, its contemporary usage still carries an unsaid judgment that lingers in the air like an annoying, dull dagger. Embarrassing and often unfair, the assumption [...]
