Join us an artist talk with the curators of Stack Squares, whose exhibition Corner Office is currently on view in Contemporary On-Site.
Stacks Squares is proud to be selected for Atlanta Contemporary’s On-Site Gallery, and thrilled to provide insight in our process: a site-specific mural installation on Carroll Street rotating three times per year. Ten individual 7’x7’ architectural features host continual renewal, with a broad range of cultural backgrounds and diverse talent from first time painters to professional muralists. Participants work next to each other, learning and mentoring, collaborating and celebrating the ephemeral cycle of creation and destruction. Each new round features new original work, with Guest Curators selecting from a diverse pool of applicants.

Join us at Emory University’s Michael C. Carlos Museum for a conversation between renowned Guyanese-British artist Hew Locke, whose work explores empire and power, and Guyanese-American curator Grace Aneiza Ali. The landmark exhibition, Donald Locke: Nexus, curated by Ali and on view here at Atlanta Contemporary, honors the life and legacy of Guyanese-born artist Donald Locke (1930–2010), one of Atlanta’s most influential artists. It focuses on how the concept of “nexus” permeates his artistic and intellectual journey and his engagement with themes of migration, cultural hybridity, and the histories of colonialism.
