We’re excited to announce ‘Nexus Press, Past and Present’, a panel and discussion on the history and legacy of Atlanta’s Nexus Press. This panel will be held on Saturday, October 11 from 3:15 – 4PM at Book//Zine, Burnaway’s first annual art book and zine fair at Goat Farm.
Nexus Press was an experimental book press and publisher that operated from 1977 – 2003 which produced and published over 200 unique artists books. Born from the Nexus artists collective that would become Atlanta Contemporary, Nexus Press produced artists’ books that continue to be held in major collections worldwide.
We’ll hear from Michael Goodman, the founder and first director of Nexus, Joni Mabe, a Nexus Press artist, and Lisa Tuttle, a Nexus Press Artist and Nexus Gallery employee, about their time and experiences at Nexus and the press’s legacy. This conversation will be moderated by Miranda Creagan, Exhibitions and Operations Manager at Atlanta Contemporary, and Helen Kirbo, Nexus Press Archival Intern at Atlanta Contemporary.
Be sure to check out the Nexus Press table at Book//Zine where they’ll be selling a collection of artists’ books made by the press.
About the panelists:
Michael Goodman: Michael Goodman received his BVA in Photography from Georgia State University and his MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. As the founder and first director of Nexus Press, he has been involved in the production of hundreds of artists’ books. Michael’s photographs and artist’s books are featured in major museums and private collections and he teaches workshops nationally and internationally. Michael worked as a design consultant for many of the largest design firms in the country. Michael is currently an instructor at the Miami Ad School.
Joni Mabe: Joni Mabe’s work transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary through acts of collection, assemblage, and recontextualization. Working with objects, images, and fragments of popular culture, religion, and memory, she probes the intersections of identity, fandom, and belief. Her practice blends humor with devotion, often blurring the line between reverence and kitsch. Mabe is best known for her Everything Elvis Museum, located in Cornelia, Georgia, a long running project that functions simultaneously as shrine, archive, and critique. Treating Elvis Presley as both icon and mirror, she explores how cultural heroes are commodified, sanctified, and consumed in equal measure. Her assemblages and mixed media works employ glitter mosaics, altered books, and found objects ranging from shopping carts and soda cans to taxidermy and textiles. By layering the sacred with the disposable, Mabe creates works that are at once intimate and spectacular, prompting reflection on Southern vernacular traditions, popular devotion, and consumer excess.
Lisa Tuttle: Lisa Tuttle is an artist, curator, arts advocate, educator, public art consultant, and writer. Her artwork is interdisciplinary, lens-based, and mixes mediums. Tuttle’s works are in the collections of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the Federal Reserve Bank-Atlanta, the City of Atlanta, Fulton County Arts and Culture, and numerous private collections. She worked at Nexus Gallery from 1981-1986, when Michael Goodman and Gary Super, followed by Clifton Meador, ran Nexus Press. In 1998, she began a long-term collaboration with historian Melanie Pavich on Retreat: Palimpsest of a Georgia Sea Island Plantation, which was later joined by artist Lynn Marshall-Linnemeier. Following installations at City Gallery East and Clark Atlanta University, this project evolved into an expanded exhibition at Atlanta Contemporary, accompanied by the artist’s book, Look Back, produced by Nexus Press in 2002. In 2019, she established Lisa Tuttle Studio at the ArtsXchange in East Point, where she works daily as a full-time artist and part-time curatorial and public art consultant. In 2022, she presented a selected retrospective of her conceptual work about the American South entitled “postcolonial karma” at Gallery 72.
