Jepson Center: "Primary: Artists Working in Red, Yellow, and Blue"

Red. Yellow. Blue. For centuries, this trio has impacted artistic practice and culture on a global scale. Collectively known as primary colors, they serve as the foundation of color theory in art. Defined by a set of colors that, when mixed, form the basis of all other colors, primary colors are the building blocks of the color spectrum. This bold triad can evoke emotion, convey messages, and influence our perceptions of the world, and it presents endless possibilities for creativity and expression. Its distinctiveness has inspired renowned artists like Pablo Picasso and Piet Mondrian, and even entire art movements, like De Stijl and Pop Art.

Drawn from Telfair Museums’ permanent collection, Primary: Artists Working in Red, Yellow, and Blue explores how artists have utilized primary colors in adventurous ways to elicit brilliant experiences. Featuring works by Roy Lichtenstein, Ellsworth Kelly, and Joan Miró, these energetic and dynamic compositions introduce viewers to the expansive possibilities of a simple palette.

Jepson Center: "Stay Awhile: Interiors in Art"

Artists depict interior settings in many ways. Some focus on them as the subject of their work, while others use them to create settings and backdrops to inform a scene. Often, they are rich in detail and ripe for further visual exploration. Stay Awhile: Interiors in Art encourages visitors to thoroughly ponder a selection of works from Telfair’s permanent collection, including paintings, drawings, and photographs, that feature a variety of views of the indoors. Rather than emphasize a specific narrative, the text accompanying each work of art offers the visitor entry points for looking more closely at elements of a composition, encouraging them to form their own ideas or discuss them with fellow museumgoers.

Jepson Center: "Tidelands:" Photographs by Parker Stewart

Tideland is an exhibition of black and white photographs by Savannah-based photographer Parker Stewart (b. 1992). Taken between 2020 and 2024, these evocative photographs document the coast of Georgia by transporting the viewer into the visceral and primordial atmosphere of the barrier islands and inland waterways. The photographs show how the air hangs heavy on this ancient coastline, a place where the sea and the land entwine in an eternal embrace. Fog shrouded marshscapes, summer thunderstorms, dockhouses held up by toothpick pilings and details of old wooden shrimping trawlers are just some of the moments recorded by Stewart. These photographs depict a landscape of quiet grandeur, a place where the past whispers from the trees and the future is constantly being written on the tides.

This exhibition is part of the #art912 initiative, a platform dedicated to raising the visibility and vitality of artists living and working in Savannah. Tideland is organized by Telfair Museums and curated by Erin Dunn, curator of modern and contemporary art. 

Parker Stewart is a photographer based in Savannah, Georgia. A native of North Carolina, Stewart arrived in Savannah in 2011 to study photography at the Savannah College of Art and Design. Stewart’s work is focused on the notion of Place, and he uses photography as a tool to record the moments and scenes that move him the most. Currently Stewart is making photographs of the landscape and culture of the wild Georgia coastline and the rural Savannah River Basin. As well as working on extensive bodies of work in Coastal Maine, Western North Carolina, the Oregon Coast, and the Mojave Desert.

Jepson Center: "Craft Along the Coast"

People in Savannah and the greater coastal Georgia and South Carolina region have handcrafted objects for generations to fill the needs of furnishing their homes, pursuing new artistic endeavors and creating products to sell in a range of markets. For this reason, these works often incorporate locally available materials and reflect many cultural values. They offer a range of insights into the history of artmaking in this area.

The new Craft along the Coast galleries feature works from Telfair’s permanent collection that date from the 18th to the late 20th centuries. Gallery 1 presents examples of woodworking, ceramics, and painting, while Gallery 2 focuses on Savannah’s silversmithing traditions. Both galleries tell stories of markets and craft legacies, helping to draw lines of continuity through a dynamic history.

Cleo the Project Space: "Impressed:" Ben Tollefson and Abby Edwards

Cleo the Project Space is pleased to present Impressed with work by Ben Tollefson and Abby Edwards. This duo uses fantasy to heighten ideas of connection, memory and self reflection found through pop culture and societal impressions.

Edwards’s sculptural work combs through childhood iconography during the ‘90s to revisit play with shape and design. The reference to Memphis Design (found in moments with Tollefson’s work as well) is an invocation of brightly stylized compositions with a rejection of muted aesthetics. This adds humor and absurdity to her objects, found in the movement given to pencils, the size given to their grips and the overall palette given to the entire body of work, both highly patterned and textural. Edward’s work is a reminder of the importance of boundless expression through recollection, an activity that propels creativity in rebellion against a restrained maturity.

Embracing a wide range of motion, color and style as well, Tollefson’s paintings delve into reclaiming a sense of self through the idea of gender as a performance. Using drag and theater for inspiration, the work features self portraits clad in costuming to play with perceptions of a character. This play is a routine in forced illusion that pushes boundaries of gender ideology in favor of dynamic redefinitions. The paintings featuring sets with increased melodrama through the placement of curtains and lighting put the body of work into a feverish reality in which the acts of revealing and masking blur at center stage.

Jepson Center Children's Museum: "The World of William O. Golding"

Telfair celebrates a new exhibition in its immersive Children’s Art Museum (CAM) that focuses on the fantastic art of Savannah artist and sailor William O. Golding (1874-1943). A host of new interactive experiences will lead children and adults through the remarkable story of this artist whose seafaring adventures of 49 years inspired his distinctive maritime drawings. New exhibits by FREN Inc. bring Golding’s pencil and crayon drawings to life in animations that visitors of all ages may control and interact with.

A popular 2022 Telfair Museums exhibition and book documented Golding’s colorful life and art. Golding, an African American seaman, was tricked aboard a sailing ship as a youth on Savannah’s waterfront in the 1880s. He eventually became a seasoned sailor who served in the U.S. Navy and worked on ships of all types from a whaler to a man o’ war. In the new CAM, Telfair’s collection of 23 Golding drawings serves as inspiration for interactive exhibits showcasing the ships depicted in his art, as well as ports near and far that he visited across the globe. An immersive LED wall will allow participants to guide their own animated ship to follow Golding’s journeys, exploring geography, weather, and maritime technology as seen by one of Savannah’s most unique artists.

(Un)Grounded, a solo exhibition of new work by Iranian-American artist Raheleh Filsoofi, is an immersive multimedia installation of ceramic vessels, sound, and video in conversation with the pottery and landscapes on view in The Moss Mystique: Southern Women and Newcomb Pottery. Over the past two years, Filsoofi has traveled to nine states in the Southeast to collect soil, including a visit to Savannah in April 2024. She has carefully archived, processed, and extracted the clay from these locations to form the physical and symbolic content of her multidisciplinary practice. Embracing her movement as a woman and immigrant within the region, (Un)Grounded considers the legacies of Newcomb Pottery through Filsoofi’s personal identity to engage with present-day perceptions surrounding southern identity, transience, and meanings of authenticity.

Jepson Center: "The Moss Mystique:" Southern Women and Newcomb Pottery

In 1895, administrators in the art department at the H. Sophie Newcomb Memorial College in New Orleans, Louisiana, a women’s higher education institution that was joined to Tulane University, started a new commercial enterprise so that their students could put the skills they learned in their art and design courses into practice. A group of potters, mostly men, created the various objects out of clays sourced throughout the South, and women graduates of the art program painted them with images of flora and fauna. Newcomb Pottery quickly received praise throughout the US for the quality of its designs and the perceived authenticity of its representation of Southern regional identity, and these strong ties to location remain present today, long after the Pottery’s closure in 1939.

This exhibition focuses on the Newcomb potters’ material and chosen subjects, their relationships to regional identity, and the Pottery’s changing approaches to these subjects over time. Tasked with representing the region through their work, Newcomb designers earned a reputation for turning to their local environment for inspiration. This exhibition explores how designs that featured repeating, semi-abstract, and carefully selected plants such as waterlilies eventually transformed into muted landscapes of moss-draped oaks and cypresses, and the way these images matched romanticized visions of the South that were growing in the 20th century. The Moss Mystique asks visitors to reconsider their ideas about what makes a place unique. In an adjacent gallery, interdisciplinary artist Raheleh Filsoofi’s new multimedia exhibition (Un)Grounded will respond to the complexities of Newcomb pottery.

Jepson Center: "Heroes and Hosts:" Lisa D. Watson and Dana Richardson

The tenth annual Boxed In/Break Out is a collaboration between Savannah-based artists Lisa D. Watson and Dana Richardson. Watson is a native plant advocate with the Georgia Plant Conservation Alliance and the Georgia Native Plant Society and serves as a guide for painter Richardson to explore indigenous plant habitats as inspiration for her paintings. Combining sculpture, painting, and text, the artists will transform each window into a theatrical narrative where fragile ecosystems take center stage. The scenes will invite viewers to step into an immersive experience that bridges the divide between human-made and wild spaces. Unique stories—from ancient trees in Maritime Forest to Longleaf habitats, fleeting grasslands and wildflowers, the adaptations of bog and aquatic plants —are revealed to evoke a sense of wonder and urgency and education. By casting Coastal Plains indigenous plants as both hosts and heroic performers, the installation underscores their critical role in sustaining life while highlighting the precariousness of their existence.

Guest judge Renée Maurer, associate curator at The Phillips Collection, selected Heroes and Hosts because “of the creative ways it addresses themes of biodiversity and conservation, using storytelling to highlight indigenous and vulnerable plant species in Georgia. Combining painted and sculptural elements, each window will theatrically reveal a beautiful, immersive, educational experience. The project will create moments of reflection allowing visitors to consider their relationship with nature and their role in conservation.”

SCAD Museum of Art: "Fruits of Labor:" Summer Wheat

SCAD Museum of Art: "Fruits of Labor:" Summer Wheat

In Fruits of Labor, Summer Wheat (SCAD M.F.A., painting, 2005) presents six richly textured paintings inspired by Greek mythology, animal archetypes, and astrology. A pair of totemic works featuring fruit–animal hybrids are flanked by multiple large-scale paintings that immerse viewers in a lush, harmonious world. In these scenes, Wheat portrays female figures as nurturers and cultivators lounging post-exertion, entwined with animals often associated with fear yet exuding calm and satisfaction. This new series expands Wheat’s practice of depicting women at work to their well-earned luxuriating that follows, insisting that moments of release, repose, and ease after collective effort are worthy of commemoration.

Wheat’s unique process begins with digital sketches, which she transforms into tapestry-like surfaces by piping acrylic paint through wire mesh. This labor-intensive technique yields composite images, embedding stylized characters within patterns, grids, and nets that reference folk traditions, sacred geometry, and digital systems. Inviting viewers to experience a dynamic interplay of depth and flatness, order and intuition, Wheat’s vivid, multilayered paintings are portals into alternate realms where the fruits of labor are fully relished.

SCAD Museum of Art: "Myths and Legends:" Group Exhibition

  • SCAD Museum of Art (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Drawn primarily from the SCAD Museum of Art Permanent Collection, Myths and Legends gathers historical and contemporary artworks whose compelling stories and characters have captivated audiences across time. The featured paintings, video, and works on paper offer various interpretations of “myth,” depicting fantastical tales and widely held fallacies, as well as events and figures from the past that have been mythologized or transformed into enduring, quasi-fictional legends. Translating oral traditions’ ineffable qualities into singular images, these works serve as timestamps of cultural and generational explanations of the human experience and treasured societal values.

Myths and Legends also highlights storytelling’s frequent role in shaping or disrupting collective ideologies, from spiritual belief systems to perceptions of gender and culture. Artists such as Cindy Sherman, Claes Oldenburg, and duo Mary Reid Kelley and Patrick Kelley reimagine iconic figures from the collective imagination, including the biblical Madonna and mythological characters like Hercules and the Minotaur, to probe gender constructs and notions of sexuality, particularly ideals of feminine propriety and masculine strength. Others, such as Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, Chloe West, and Marisol Escobar, reclaim the role of storyteller, interrogating how mythologies have perpetuated romanticized representations of women and Indigeneity, as exemplified by the narratives surrounding Pocahontas. These illustrations of myths and legends, while encompassing a degree of estrangement from reality, ironically expose an undeniable truth: our shared endeavor to make sense of this unpredictable world.

On view July 25-August 17, 2025

Creation, maintenance, and destruction are cyclical patterns we all experience as individuals. While particular lives may look different, there can be strength and resilience that comes from being part of a community amidst uncertainty. Three Savannah-based artists have come together to explore how their combined creative processes can help them navigate their journeys through these phases of life. The exhibition considers how painters with distinct styles use three specific color palettes as a form of processing, a commentary on our current times, and as an act of resistance. They ask: “In this time of turmoil, how do we use our art to navigate our emotions, and how do our emotions influence our art?”

Opening Reception: Friday, July 25, 5-9pm

SCAD Museum of Art: "Liberation Back Home:" Tomokazu Matsuyama

Displaying works both within and on the façade of the SCAD Museum of Art, Tomokazu Matsuyama presents large-scale paintings and sculpture that blur distinctions between interiority and exteriority, Eastern and Western, and past and present. A first-generation Japanese American, the artist grew up in an immigrant neighborhood in Southern California, lived in Japan, and has spent more than two decades in New York — personal experiences of cultural displacement that he channels into his work. Matsuyama depicts figures within intricate domestic spaces, drawing from a broad visual vocabulary ranging from the refined tradition of Nihonga painting to contemporary Japanese aesthetics, alongside references to American editorial photography and the bold, graphic sensibilities found in West Coast subcultures.

These works are meticulously constructed through a mix of hand-drawn and digital techniques, combining patterns and symbols to reflect shifting notions of identity and meaning in a globalized world. Inspired by daily life in cities, each painting synthesizes a barrage of visual information, treating what is traditionally considered high or low culture with equal attention and care. The exhibition includes works from First Last, a series influenced by the artist’s religious upbringing that incorporates elements from Western art historical depictions of Biblical scenes. Collectively, these works explore how stories and the images they conjure have multiplied over centuries and across communities, revealing the myriad ways context shapes perspectives of one’s self and society.

SCAD Museum of Art: "A Gathering of Bells:" Davina Semo

For millennia, bells have organized society by tolling to mark the hours, calling communities to assemble, clanging alarms of danger, and ringing in momentous occasions. These cultural connotations are made even more multivalent by the many shapes and styles bells have taken over the centuries. Since 2017, Davina Semo has explored the meanings and artistic potential of this form in resonant sculptures, translating poured molten bronze into a range of textures, shapes, and patterns with an almost infinite variety of paint or patina finishes. This exhibition, the artist’s first solo museum showcase of her bells, features more than 50 works suspended at different heights in groupings that emphasize their polyphony. Together, the bells offer variations on a theme with complex surfaces that reflect their environment and encourage viewers to engage with sculpture in the round. Ultimately, Semo invites us to consider the functional elements of art by experiencing its sonic dimensions. As museum visitors strike the clapper against the shell, their action becomes participation and metaphor simultaneously: we hear the ringing bell vibrate and sense how our gestures reverberate outward toward others.

SCAD Museum of Art: "Haunted:" Andrew Roberts

Drawing elements from the horror genre and video game aesthetics, Andrew Roberts examines the violent aspects of cultural and economic systems. His multimedia work has recently focused on the geopolitical dynamics that have shaped the relationship between the U.S. and his home country Mexico, as well as the effect these forces have had on his familial history. In his first institutional solo show in the U.S., Roberts incorporates film, sculpture, and installation in a compelling tableau that transports viewers to a ghostly simulacrum of the fast-food franchise Jack in the Box. The artist’s new animated film, designed with video game software, presents the restaurant interior populated by spectral manifestations of the brand’s mascot in three forms: darkness, liquid rubber, and red light. Pulled from the artist’s childhood memories of visiting his father at a Jack in the Box on the U.S.–Mexico border, which also served as a gathering point for migrant workers and families separated by immigration policies, Roberts’ installation examines the haunting realities at the intersection of policy, corporate identity, and personal experience.

Rana Begum uses light, space, and color to create transformative artworks that are completed by the viewer’s experience of them. This exhibition, Begum’s first museum survey in the U.S., unites numerous series of works made over the course of her career. Arranged in seven distinct groupings, this selection demonstrates the breadth of her practice, highlighting how she expands on legacies of abstraction, Minimalism, and Op art through a contemporary global lens. Begum’s work harnesses geometry and light effects to dynamic ends, embracing modern industrial materials such as automobile light reflectors, safety tape, metal or glass panels, and even chain link fence segments. By recontextualizing these elements in imaginative ways, the artist produces formally compelling installations that dazzle the eye.

Many of Begum’s works shift almost imperceptibly as viewers circulate them, with their pristinely painted surfaces effusing a luminosity that seems to radiate and encompass the museum’s walls in their glow. Our embodied experiences of these poetic artworks highlight the complexities of human perception and the nuanced way we each view the world around us. The intricate spatial and visual act of engaging with Begum’s work initiates transformation, evolving from the aesthetic realm to that of wonder and delight — an encounter with art that allows us to reach toward the profound.

SCAD Museum of Art: "So Black and So Blue:" Michi Meko

Michi Meko creates large-scale paintings that address and process “the African American experience of navigating public spaces, particularly in the American South, while remaining buoyant within them.” The artist’s powerful subject and impressive approach to making these works were brought about by a near-drowning, which shifted his perspective on how he exists in nature. While pursuits in the water or woods like fishing or hiking have historically been fraught for Black individuals, often restrictively codified as “white” spaces in the U.S., Meko’s exuberant art and passion for fly-fishing reclaim these nonurban sites, demonstrating that nature has always been a thriving source for Black creative expression.

Meko’s immersive paintings evoke turbulent skies, undulating seascapes, and billowy marshes with spray-painted gestural markings, while also incorporating forms and navigational lines in white color pencil and beacons of gold leaf sparkling in the night sky. The artwork’s inky palette and the exhibition’s title, So Black and So Blue, take inspiration from Louis Armstrong’s interpretation of the jazz standard “(What Did I Do to Be So) Black and Blue,” Ralph Ellison’s evocation of the song’s racial protest dimensions, and Imani Perry’s groundbreaking text Black in Blues: How a Color Tells the Story of My People. Contextually and lucidly, Meko maps an optimistic framework of resilient expedition and profound change.

André Leon Talley: Style Is Forever is a tribute to the enduring legacy of André Leon Talley — distinguished editor, cultural icon, and beloved SCAD mentor and friend. The exhibition features select looks from Talley’s personal collection, including ready-to-wear, couture, and bespoke pieces, highlighting some of his most recognizable moments from legendary Met Galas to famed front rows as well as more intimate occasions and celebrations.

Rising from his Southern roots in North Carolina, Talley launched an unparalleled career that began with Diana Vreeland at The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute and traversed through pop culture with Andy Warhol at The Factory and into the highest echelons of style with Anna Wintour at Vogue. Talley’s deep intellect, flair for language, and skill at contextualizing contemporary design within the richness of history established his long reign as fashion’s kingmaker. In his columns and editorials, he stirred audiences to view aesthetics through a more expansive lens of beauty, identity, authenticity, and empowerment.

Style Is Forever displays a curated selection of Talley’s wardrobe by designers including Givenchy, Ralph Rucci, Balenciaga, and Gucci alongside cherished mementos and artworks from friends such as Diane von Furstenberg. Made possible through an extraordinary bequest of garments, accessories, and ephemera to the SCAD Permanent Collection, the exhibition foregrounds Talley’s lasting gift to generations of students and scholars.

Presented across SCAD museums in Atlanta and Savannah, Style Is Forever marks the 10th anniversary of the university’s SCAD FASH Museum of Fashion + Film. Across his long partnership with SCAD, Talley curated acclaimed exhibitions and welcomed renowned designers to the university to share their insights, enriching the student experience while advancing cultural dialogue and exchange. 

An accompanying exhibition catalogue commemorates Talley’s grandeur and global impact, brought to life in new photography by SCAD alum Allen Cooley alongside images from the archives of fashion documentarians Jonathan Becker and Robert Fairer. Essays, stories, and memories from colleagues and admirers who experienced Talley’s singular character reflect on a career spanning more than four decades, offering a rare view into his private world, the people who shared it, and their collective contributions to fashion history.

Gallery 2424: "Disappearer:" Jon Witzky

Gallery 2424 is proud to present new works on canvas and Yupo by artist, curator, and editor Jon Witzky. On view from Friday, September 5 through Saturday, September 27, 2025, Witzky’s solo exhibition Disappearer continues his exploration of abstraction, figuration, and color following Sing the Body Electric, his 2024 exhibition with Ivy Anderson at Thompson Savannah. This new series marks a distinct evolution in his practice, embracing a bolder, more vibrant palette, solid and weighty forms, and raw mark-making.

Music remains a significant catalyst in Witzky’s creative process, with the exhibition’s title referencing Sonic Youth’s Disappearer from their 1990 album Goo. Beyond the musical nod, the title evokes the act of vanishing—the slow fade of memory, the way time erodes and reconstructs the past, and the shifting nature of personal and collective histories. In these paintings, moments and emotions emerge, dissolve, and reassemble—drawn, scratched out, redrawn, and reimagined, reflecting the shifting and imperfect nature of memory.

Witzky’s process is one of excavation. Layers of oil paint, oil sticks, pencil, and crayon are built up, only to be scraped away, revealing traces of past gestures. Erasure is as integral as application—each mark is subject to revision, discovery, and reconfiguration. In this process, the good, the bad, and the ugly coexist. Forms emerge and recede, contradictions surface, and the work settles into an uneasy equilibrium, where clarity and ambiguity are in constant flux.

Disappearer is not just about what is seen, but what lingers beneath—what is buried, uncovered, and re-examined. It is a meditation on the impermanence of memory, the instability of meaning, and the beauty found in both creation and destruction.

Jepson Center: "Heroes and Hosts:" Lisa D. Watson and Dana Richardson (#art912 Boxed In/Break Out)

The tenth annual Boxed In/Break Out is a collaboration between Savannah-based artists Lisa D. Watson and Dana Richardson. Watson is a native plant advocate with the Georgia Plant Conservation Alliance and the Georgia Native Plant Society and serves as a guide for painter Richardson to explore indigenous plant habitats as inspiration for her paintings. Combining sculpture, painting, and text, the artists will transform each window into a theatrical narrative where fragile ecosystems take center stage. The scenes will invite viewers to step into an immersive experience that bridges the divide between human-made and wild spaces. Unique stories—from ancient trees in Maritime Forest to Longleaf habitats, fleeting grasslands and wildflowers, the adaptations of bog and aquatic plants —are revealed to evoke a sense of wonder and urgency and education. By casting Coastal Plains indigenous plants as both hosts and heroic performers, the installation underscores their critical role in sustaining life while highlighting the precariousness of their existence.

Gallery 2424: "Liminal Portrayals:" Sampy Sicada

Liminal Portrayals is a solo exhibition of drawings on paper in colored pencil, graphite, and charcoal by Sampy Sicada on view at Gallery 2424 from Friday, June 20-Sunday, June 22.

Sicada’s work reintegrates classical art language with the interconnectivity of the postmodern age. Art delves into emergent sincerity and is placed to regain art's liturgical mandate, particularly in the techno-personal society lacking cultural stalwarts to unite on.

This is a germane issue in America with its pretext for polarised politics, selective migration, and subsequent personality clusters. Savannah itself is rife with affluence and poverty, and Sicada himself has experienced homeless, living out of council houses in Manchester. This show aims to have value for all.

The exhibition is open June 20-22, 4-8pm.

Cedar House Gallery: "The Duality of Self:" Julia Roland

"The Duality of Self" 

The Duality of Self is a collection of recent paintings that loosely explores the themes of human complexity and conflicting emotions/behaviors within us all. The series is completed through various diptychs and paintings consisting of two figures expressing opposite points of contrast within one being. Inspired by the heightened attributes and stereotypes assigned to my character at birth as a Gemini, this exhibition pushes to encourage the malleability and fluidity of humans in general, regardless of astrological placements. Each change in thought, feeling, or expression is just as valuable as the next, all coinciding within you, even if they go unnoticed to the public eye. There is more than one way to be yourself.

Laney Contemporary: Artist Talk and Book Signing: Kevin Cooley's

Laney Contemporary: Artist Talk and Book Signing: Kevin Cooley's

The closing reception for "Don't You (Forget About Me)" will include an artist talk with Kevin Cooley and book signing for his extraordinary new publication "The Wizard of Awe" that will take place on Wednesday, June 4th at 6pm. Doors open at 5:30 for refreshments, and the artist talk will begin upstairs in the mirrored gallery alongside Cooley's photographs.

As many of you may know, Kevin lost his home to the California wildfires this past January. Laney Contemporary is donating proceeds of book sales to the Cooley family.

To preorder your copy please email info@laneycontemporary.com.

Limited copies available. Book retails for $60 (144 pages).

""The Wizard of Awe' chronicles the struggles and resilience of Kenneth Miller, a Minnesota-based fireworks manufacturer, alongside striking images of smoke, fire, and explosions I created under his guidance.

Misunderstood and often vilified by authorities and the media, Miller’s life took a dramatic turn after I published a portfolio of images of him in Popular Science—exposure that led to a raid on his family farm, explosives charges, and a two-year prison sentence.

This book showcases the breathtaking spectacle of Miller’s craft and seeks to humanize a man of integrity, challenging the negative perceptions that have unjustly clouded his legacy. It also honors the profound impact we’ve had on each other through a shared fascination with fire.

Many images from the book also appeared in my 2021 exhibition Exploded Views at Laney Contemporary—a show that would not have been possible without Miller’s collaboration." - Kevin Cooley

Photopoint Gallery: Call for Entries: "Far Away"

Photopoint Gallery’s first annual, juried group exhibition call for entries is officially open!

Welcome to the beginning of what we hope will be a new tradition. ‘Far Away’ marks the launch of our first annual, juried group exhibition - a thoughtfully curated show designed to remain on view for an extended period of time, both in the Gallery space and a dedicated online viewing room. Each year we will gather a new collection of local and regional artists, and their voices around a different theme.

The 2025 theme invites artists to explore the concept of distance, mystery, fantasy, escape - whether physical, emotional, cultural or imagined. This group show seeks work that evokes a sense of longing, adventure, attachment, presence, displacement, mood or wonder capturing what it means to be far away from home, time or reality.

From landscapes of distant places to abstract interpretations of separation, space and connection, ’Far Away’ encourages a broad exploration across all artistic mediums.

Entry deadline is July 11.

Jepson Center: "In Reflection: Contemporary Art and Ourselves"

In Reflection: Contemporary Art and Ourselves is a long-term evolving installation of Telfair Museums’ modern and contemporary collection featuring paintings, prints, drawings, photographs, sculptures, textiles, and mixed and time-based media from 1945 to the present day. In addition to the expansive historical context and aesthetics, the wide variety of artworks on view encourages us to consider the artist’s role in mirroring individual and collective experiences and identities through these objects. These reflections are broadly explored as personal, social, and cultural themes. The PERSONAL delves into the self, offering insight into the feelings and emotions invoked through the work. The SOCIAL looks critically at the world, tackling of-the-moment topics such as climate change, globalization, social activism, and politics. The CULTURAL takes a big picture view, grappling with history, religion, language, heritage, legacy, and land that are central to cultural customs and traditions.

The exhibition also features select loans of provocative artworks by cutting-edge contemporary artists in the United States and beyond. These additions remind us that art is never static but continues to personally, socially, and culturally respond to the current moment. Offering another point of view, audio clips by artists, art professionals, and community members react to select works and encourage multiple interpretations. As we navigate the exhibition and learn about the works, we can ponder our own perspectives, unveiling a deeper understanding of ourselves and our relationships with the world around us.

SCAD Museum of Art: "Bivalves no Booty:" Corrina Goutos

to Jun 23

SCAD Museum of Art: "Bivalves no Booty:" Corrina Goutos

Corrina Goutos fuses fragments of mass-produced objects with raw natural materials in conceptual sculptures and wearable artworks that resemble fossils from the future. Goutos calls this practice “anthrosmithing,” in which she transforms everyday items, such as outdated technology, releasing them from their utility and giving them new life that highlights how they shape identity. In Bivalves no Booty, the artist features two recent series, The BlossomVerse and Vestigial Trait Bait, that explore the tension between individuality and interconnectedness in our consumer-driven society.

In The BlossomVerse, Goutos reconfigures porcelain shards and electronic waste into distorted artifacts that challenge capitalist ideals of perfection and subvert the corporate design trend of biomimicry. In Vestigial Trait Bait, Goutos merges ancient shells with industrial hardware to create wearable relics that blend the history of adornment with the concept of evolutionary appendages, reflecting how technology has become an extension of the self. Through these hybrid works, the artist investigates our sentimental attachments and choices to discard or preserve, revealing how objects carry and transmit meaning over time. By melding technological remnants with geological remains, Goutos creates new totems of self-expression that evoke nostalgia and belonging, while also embracing the uncanny beauty of growth, decay, and metamorphosis.

Years after leaving the childhood home designed and built by his grandfather, Joshua Archer was struck by the fear of forgetting its once-familiar details. Sentimental Surrealism transforms his youth reveries into tangible objects, elevating the quiet, often-overlooked corners of his past while highlighting the micro design movements of the late 20th century that inform his visual language. Blending memory with material, Archer crafts sculptural furnishings that invite viewers into a reflection on the concept of home and retrospection.
