Uncategorized Weekend arts agenda: SoCo enourages sharing ... and art
Posted by Jeremy Abernathy on Fri, May 8, 2009 at 11:12 PM
During last year's drought, the State of Georgia entertained a grudge over the water supply along the border with Tennessee, a row that was as much a waste of time as it was eerily antiquarian. Fortunately, recent trends in our local arts community show otherwise: The Peach State can get along with its neighbors, after all.
This Sat. May 9 from 8-11 p.m., Beep Beep Gallery opens a new exhibition of drawings and paintings, appropriately titled Southern Comfort. The show features a select delegation from Nashville's Twist Art Gallery: Duncan McDaniel, Erin Plew, and John Whitten. All three artists are Nashville natives, chosen because they "differ greatly in their respective subjects and techniques, but underlying their imagery there is a tone of disconnect, nostalgia, and an absurd take on violence." In exchange, Beep Beep offered up locals Ann-Marie Manker and Jason R. Butchter, whose exhibition in Nashville opened last weekend.
The show also gives the excuse to quote Flight of the Concords:
Women like three things: Men in kilts, Southern Comfort, and Chris Isaac's 'Wicked Game.'
