Before We Blast off: The Journey of Divine Forces
May 19, 2016 – November 6, 2016
For the last year Atlanta Contemporary has been exploring all of the nooks and crannies that our campus has to offer. One of the most visible, yet underutilized spaces is the large blank wall located in the Atrium. We view this space as a temporal solo exhibition, with each large work staying on the wall for at least 6 months, before being painted over and recommissioned for the next show.The site specific installation pushes the artists craft and practice to create something beyond their normal scale – the wall being 20 foot long and 14 foot high.
