Thank you, thank you, thank you, to everyone who turned out last night to see Don and Carol sail off into the sunset - and also for the huge effort everyone put into the truly amazing range of fancy-dress costumes!
2019-02-15 Suellen Parker | Sandra Lee Phipps | V Elizabeth Turk Against the Tide whitespace
Against the Tide, a group exhibition of photography by Atlanta artists Suellen Parker, Sandra Lee Phipps, and V. Elizabeth Turk opens with a
reception on Friday, February 15 from 7-10 pm.
Swimming against the tide can be futile and exhausting; it is never easy–but surviving its rigors is exhilarating. Anyone who succeeds at it
emerges stronger–more confident and worthy of serious respect. Artists take up this challenge daily.
The three women whose work is in this exhibition have survived, and thrived, in a profession, and in a culture whose rules are skewed against
curiosity, exploration and assertive eloquence. In this work of Suellen Parker, Sandra Lee Phipps and V. Elizabeth Turk, photography is a
common thread–and the Declarative Voice is the shared language. Each explores a unique tangent of her political, or personal, or interior
life. These revelations are gifts of nuance and sharp clarity-–drawn from the life and work of three women who have mastered the poetic side
of alchemy.
2019-09-07 SONYA YONG JAMES Loud Magic whitespace
whitespace presents a solo exhibition by Sonya Yong James entitled, Loud Magic, at whitespace gallery opening on Friday, September 6 from 7 to 10 pm.
"The exhibit is about the history of place and time and myself inside of it. The work is imagined in a dream state divided between two worlds in which I can locate myself comfortably in neither. Herein are the spaces between beauty and terror and my questions of past and recent loss. These are poems and songs of farewell to the departed and a celebration of second chances, mine and the ones that are gone. In the objects, are ghosts of a past life and shadows of what might have been." - Sonya Yong James
