Visual Arts / weekend arts agenda Weekend Arts Agenda: Kara Walker at Cyclorama
Posted by Adam Carlson on Fri, Aug 10, 2012 at 11:23 AM
The Atlanta Cyclorama & Civil War Museum will host Kara Walker hosting a free lecture tonight at 6 on "The Art of War." As CL's Andrew Alexander wrote yesterday, "it's a fascinating, provocative pairing of speaker and setting."
After the jump, openings, screenings and more.
FRIDAY
- Courtesy Whitespace
- Charlie Bouwer's "Now I Lay Me..." installation
Charlie Brouwer's first exhibit at Whitespace is now on view and spotlights 20 white orchard ladders and, among them, a life-sized wooden figure. There are also drawings. A reception opens tonight from 7-10.

- Eva Magill-Oliver, "Combine"
Spaces, a group exhibit of abstract landscapes by Loretta Paraguassu, Helen Ferguson Crawford, Eva Magill-Oliver, and Martha Stiles, is opening at One Twelve Gallery with a 7 p.m. reception. The works vary by texture and composition, but each is a scape-shifting wonder.
Blair Crimmins & The Hula Hookers, along with Davina & The Harlots, Hoop Essence, The Clap, Ghost Bikini, and The Little 5 Points Rockstar Orchestra will all perform at "Summer Sounds," a 7 Stages fundraiser at The Goat Farm Arts Center. From 7 p.m.-midnight; tickets are $15 at the door.
The time has come for another art stroll — this time through Castleberry Hill, from 7-10 p.m. It's really good! (You already agree!)
The Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia is opening Atlanta Printmakers Studio: Selections from the Emerging Artist Residency with a reception from 6:30-8:30 tonight. The show includes Hannah Skoonberg, Whitney Stansell, Cynthia Thompson, and MINT Leap Year recipient Jessica Caldas.
- Courtesy MOCAGA
MOCAGA will also open group exhibit Working Artist Project: 2010/2011 Studio Assistants with a reception from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
- Courtesy OCAA
- City Gallery Chastain
The Atlanta Printmakers Studio also opened Pressing Matters III at OCAA's City Gallery Chastain last night. The exhibit is annual and open to all members, so it'll include a range of printmakers and their makings.
The Hammonds House Museum is screening Sam O’Steen’s Sparkle at 8 p.m. Curtis Mayfield composed the music, which is reason enough to turn out.
SATURDAY
- Courtesy the High
- Jodie Foster as a babydoll hooker in "Taxi Driver"
Across the city, the High is screening Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver at 8:15 p.m as part of its "Archival Gotham: NYC On Film" series. The film has become legendary since its 1976 release, with good reason: it's scuzzy, sociopathic, addictive viewing.
- Courtesy MODA
- In the studio with Evereman
Last for the weekend, MODA is leading a studio visit with street artist, furniture maker and be-monikered Evereman, who will speak about art's importance. Attendees will also get a chance to work on a project with the artist.
