Exhibiting artist Rae Goodwin discusses her recent works.
Mark Wentzel: Morale Hazard; Rae Goodwin: Relativity; Tamy Ben-Tor: Videos; Nancy Popp: Untitled (Street Performances). Mark Wentzel's installation involves the acquisition and presentation of a 1965 Ford Mustang, altered in symbolic ways and combined with site-specific wall works. Rae Goodwin’s installation examines aspects of her family history and constructions of identity, as well as gender-based fears of the unknown and of nature. Israeli performance and video artist Tamy Ben-Tor’s hilarious and unsettling work is presented in her first solo video exhibition in the South, including Normal, 2006; The End of Art, 2006; and Gewald, 2007. Los Angeles-based artist Nancy Popp has produced various installations and performances that examine psychological conditions of isolation, caution, risk, and exhilaration.

EMILY AMY GALLERY--open from 11 am - 5 pm
1000 Marietta Street, Suite 208
Paint as Subject: new works Dorothy Goode, James Leonard, Melanie Parke and Carl Plansky. Paint is not often thought of as the subject matter or genre of a painting. Quite the contrary, subjects usually include landscapes, figures, or still lives, but for these four talented artists, paint takes center state in their vibrant and colorful compositions. By studying their application, manipulation, and removal of paint from the canvas with brushes, trowels, palette knives and other tools, it is clear that each of the artists featured in this upcoming show value the importance of paint.
GET THIS! GALLERY--open 11 am - 5 pm
