  • February 18, 2012 - The Professional Bull Riders Atlanta Invitational took place Saturday night at the Georgia Dome with more than 50 back-to-back nonstop bull rides. In the battle between the riders and the bulls, the bulls seemed to win a lot more than they lost; almost every rider left the ring limping.

  • <p>Thursday was a record night for artist Brian Donnelly, better known as KAWS, as his show Down Time opened at the High Museum. The show marks the first time KAWS' work has been exhibited in Atlanta and is also the largest exhibition of KAWS' work to date. From a 24-foot-long triptych to 27 circular paintings, the show is a visual feast that can't be done justice through photos. The majority of the works feature abstractions of KAWS' KawsBob character, which is his interpretation of the popular Nickelodeon character SpongeBob. A large part of KAWS' work draws inspiration from pop culture, particularly iconic cartoon characters ranging from Snoopy all the way to "The Simpsons."</p> <p>In conjunction with the exhibition opening, DJ Hurricane, formerly of Beastie Boys, provided music for a dance party in the museum's atrium. KAWS: Down Time definitely injects a shot of vibrancy and liveliness into the halls of the High, and hopefully is the beginning of a new trend for the museum. The show will be on display through May 20.</p>

  • For the <a href="/atlanta/CLs10thannualLustList/Page">2012 edition of <i>Creative Loafing</i>'s Lust List</a> we decided to shoot all our wonderful people in natural light with a simple white backdrop in the entrance area of our new offices at Atlantic Station. These portraits were inspired by the work of Richard Avedon. We produced all images in black and white and in print as 4X5 diptychs using the exact format Avedon shot. Dustin Chambers helped produce and edit the images and along with Chris Mihal and Amanda Croy helped conceive the concept. -Joeff Davis, <i>CL</i> Photo Editor
