Pillow Talk is the newest body of work from Coulter Fussell. This exhibition features quilts fashioned after the shape of headboards to play off of the act of dreaming. Using nostalgia as the main tool for her collaged piecework, Fussell maps out both desires and nightmares within scenes that bleed into both past personal history and collective remembering.
In the work popular iconography combines with psychedelic imagery and traditional craft to celebrate decoration as a sign of life. The final exuberant mood from these pieces is one built on refurbishing past memory for a new understanding of self conscious consideration.
Join Coulter Fussell, artist, and Jeanette McCune, curator, for a discussion of the exhibition and Fussell’s artistic practice.
Coulter Fussell was born and raised in Columbus, Georgia, an old textile town. She is the youngest family quilter, hailing from multi-generations of seamstresses and quilters. She produces quilt-works using discarded and donated textiles as her sole materials. Coulter has exhibited works across the country including The Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art and Mindy Solomon Gallery in Miami. Her textiles works are in the permanent collections of the Columbus Museum of Art and the Mississippi Museum of Art.
Jeanette McCune (b. Oklahoma City, OK) is a curator currently based in Savannah, GA. Her past projects include exhibitions at No One Special in Melbourne, AUS and Anteism Project Space in Montreal, CAN. She presently serves as the executive director for Cleo the gallery.

Join us for a conversation with Jiha Moon, acclaimed artist and 2023 Guggenheim Fellow, as she reflects on her exhibition Ten Moon and her evolving practice.
After relocating from Atlanta to Tallahassee, Moon’s work has shifted to embrace new environments and influences. Ten Moon features her signature blend of paintings, ceramics, and mixed-media works that draw from Korean folk traditions, American pop culture, and digital iconography. At its center is the Shrine series, where paintings and ceramic objects merge into intimate, dreamlike spaces exploring memory, identity, and transformation.
Moon will share insights into her practice, the symbolism of the moon as a marker of resilience and change, and her exploration of in-betweenness—where the familiar meets the surreal.
Her work is held in major collections including the Hirshhorn, the High Museum of Art, and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.
This event is free and open to the public.

Join us for a special curator talk with Youmi Efurd, curator of the Richardson Family Art Museum at Wofford College, as she discusses two exhibitions currently on view: Shaping Identity: Korean Print in Diaspora and Ten Moon by Jiha Moon.
Shaping Identity explores the relationship between cultural heritage, migration, and identity through the lens of printmaking. Featuring works by Tschang Yeul Kim, Kakyoung Lee, U-fan Lee, Jiha Moon, Yoonmi Nam, Nam June Paik, Jean Shin, Joo Yeon Woo, and Jayoung Yoon, the exhibition highlights how Korean and diasporic artists have used printmaking to navigate traditions, hybridity, and belonging across generations.
Ten Moon presents a new body of work by Jiha Moon that reflects her transition from Atlanta to Tallahassee and her ongoing exploration of identity, memory, and transformation. Incorporating paintings, ceramics, and mixed media, Moon blends Korean folk traditions, American pop culture, and digital imagery into a vibrant, dreamlike language of resilience and renewal.
Efurd will share insights into the curatorial vision behind these exhibitions and discuss how they together reflect themes of cultural continuity, migration, and the evolution of identity.
To close the event, the Atlanta Korean Cultural Center (AKCC) will present a Nanta performance, a high-energy percussion show that celebrates Korean culture and traditions through rhythm and movement. Founded in 2008 by HyunSuk Yang, AKCC has performed at national, state, and local festivals with a mission to build community connections through performing arts and education.
This event is free and open to the public.
