Kevin Landers is a New York based sculptor
and photographer who records everyday objects
and environments. Using common construction
materials (plastic, metal, fabric, foil), he
reproduces a rack of potato chip bags and a
bicycle wheel and frame from memory. These acts
of poetic realism are accompanied by his keenly
observed photos taken in restaurants, laundromats,
and on city streets.
Devendra Banhart is a San
Francisco-based artist and musician whose drawings
combine repeated human and animal figures, ornamental
framing devices, and bits of language. Intimate
and hypnotic, these works share affinities to
Tantric diagrams, Plains Indian narratives,
and fantastic private worlds. This exhibition
is the first comprehensive examination of Banhart's
visual art.
“Devendra Banhart’s small, fine-grained
ink drawings, in tight, doodle-like strokes
and flourishes, offer a menagerie of beasts
with horned and haloed heads, lots of eyes,
and bodies covered with feathers that end in
fingers. Echoes of Paul Klee, Indian painting
and children’s drawings chime together
here. Like the psychedelic-folk music for which
Mr. Banhart has become well known, the effect
has a spooky sweetness.” The
New York Times
Recordings is a group
exhibition that examines the intersection of
nature, experimental modes of documentation,
and time. Including video and photography by
Monica Duncan & Lara Odell, David Moreno,
Sharon Harper.
Nina Bovasso is based in New
York. For the Contemporary she will create a
site specific wall painting, using the super
bright colors and natural forms she is known
for.

Talent Show is a
large scale exhibition that brings together
varied artistic achievements of numerous Atlantans.
Modeled on the traditional talent show that
honors audacity as well as skill, this exhibition
attempts to find and promote the creative work
of trained and un-trained artists. Diverse mediums,
documentation, and live events will animate
this wildly democratic installation.
