ATHICA is showing its 44th exhibition, “Southern,” beginning
this Saturday, Jan. 21, and running through Sunday, March 4. The exhibition
features many new works exploring the emotional depth and aesthetic diversity
of nine artists across four generations.
Through photography, video and sculpture, the artists
present a visually rich installation that tests the boundaries between art and
religion, aesthetic and documentary practice and folk and fine art.
Exhibition highlights include documentary photographs of the
interior and exterior grounds of the St. Paul Spiritual Holy Temple in Memphis,
Tenn.; a multimedia work addressing the relationship between the Hope
Scholarship and the Georgia Lottery; and a controversial painting referencing
the Ku Klux Klan that was once removed from a faculty exhibition at Gainesville
College by its president.
Participating artists are Stanley Bermudez; Drék Davis; Hope
Hilton; Ted Kuhn; Michael Lachowski; Judy Rushin; Sam Seawright; John
Seawright; Steven Thompson; and James Perry Walker and the family of Washington
Harris of the Saint Paul Spiritual Holy Temple.
The exhibition’s opening reception will be held on Saturday, Jan. 21,
from 7 to 9 p.m. The curator and assistant curator of “Southern” are Judith
McWillie and Lauren Williamson.
