Art Around Athens
Tonight (Thu., Aug. 27) at 7 p.m. at the Lamar Dodd School of Art is an opening reception for PHYSICAL/METAPHYSICAL an exhibition of selected paintings by Rocio Rodriguez, Don Cooper (including the above image) and Betsy Cain, described as "an exhibition of abstract paintings that address the process and physicalty of painting--the gesture writ large or cloaked, improvisational and/or meditative. Additionally, these large scale paintings engage viewers in a physical relationship and question the nature of seeing and representation." The Dodd has a very cool schedule of exhibitions of which we'd encourage you to take advantage.
This weekend, beginning Friday evening from 6 to 9 p.m. with an opening reception is Perspectives: Georgia Pottery Invitational 2009, the largest pottery sale and exhibition in Georgia, at the Oconee Cultural Arts Foundation. Perspectives is open Saturday, Aug. 29 through Wednesday, Sept. 16, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. More than 4,500 individual pieces of pottery provided by 50 of Georgia's finest potters are available for sale at this event, which has its own Web site, too.
And on Sunday from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia is an opening reception for The Wonders of Nature, an exhibition featuring silk painting, watercolor, oil painting, sculpture, photography and more.
