Amalgam 4 — Collapse
Amalgam #4 points toward the inextricably intertwined relationships between typography, language, and power. In doing so, it assembles a series of essays, anecdotal notes, conversations, and artworks that engage with, hint at, or revolve around the theme of collapse.
From collapse of language syntax, to collapse of semantics, barriers between languages, and language itself, this collection reverberates the material and immaterial conditions, formations, reproduction, and dissemination of power through language and typography. A series of revolutionary headdresses; the auditory and polemic bonds between the letters X, ח, and خ; the interiorities of illegibility; the downfall of the ancient Silk Road patterns; the West Asian Goddesses; an asemic grief; a deliberately missing language; a hearty stutter; and an Aleph that wore a hat to school.
Contributors in this issue include Adrien Flores, JJJJJerome Ellis, Klara du Plessis, Sophie Seita, Luis Camnitzer, Slavs and Tatars, Mimi Ọnụọha, Minh Nguyen, Maia Ruth Lee, Mashinka Firunts Hakopian, Helina Metaferia, Paul Soulellis, Carlos Motta, Lucy I. Zimmerman, Kameelah Janan Rasheed, Paul Benzon, Morehshin Allahyari, Anahita Razmi, J. Dakota Brown, Shabahang Tayyari, Mahan Moalemi, Dennis Grauel, Sasha Wilmoth, Thy Hà, and Alec Mapes-Frances

always returning to this
i mean black artists are so fucking lit! look at this really drawn out ethos as an artist statement:
"At the top of 2019, I sat down to google docs and a series of handwritten notes to draft yet another artist statement. The goal: write something that captured everything I had done, everything I was about to do, everything I know I want to do, and everything I don’t even know I want to say. And to do so with such tidy precision that the artist statement will have utility well into the future.
This was a speculative mathematical task - to solve for not yet known things. But, I dove in with the unencumbered eagerness. I would slay non-specificity, predict the future, and create a self-perpetuating sentence that would always hold the language to articulate my current art practice."
useful to sit with if you're interested in: ongoingness, incompleteness, not-quite doneness, language/concrete poetry, being genre fugitive, revision, text as communal, as networked.....

Yoga in the Galleries, 6 p.m. — Join us for a free yoga class surrounded by works of art in the galleries. Led by instructors from Five Points Yoga, this program is free and open to both beginner and experienced yogis. Sanitized mats are provided.

On view:
“Reckonings and Reconstructions: Southern Photography from the Do Good Fund” —
This exhibition is the first large-scale survey of the Do Good Fund’s remarkable and sweeping collection of photography made in the South from the 1950s to the present.
“Infinity on the Horizon” — This exhibition highlights modern and contemporary objects in the Georgia Museum of Art’s permanent collection by prominent and lesser-known artists that can be characterized as abstract landscapes.
“Allison Janae Hamilton: Between Life and Landscape” — Allison Janae Hamilton’s works often include spectral figures to convey the role of nature in Black experience as beautiful and fragile, hopeful and haunted.

ATHICA: Athens Institute for Contemporary Art
ATHICA@675 Pulaski St., Suite 1200
“MOOD: 2022 Juried Exhibition” — Features the work of 37 contemporary artists from across the United States and Canada. Their work in all media explores or references MOOD, a term that has taken on a unique connotation on social media through its use thousands of times a day by individuals to express their temporal emotions with imagery, memes and an ever-changing collage of the media culture that surrounds us. #Mood is happy, sad, reflective, angstful, urgent, chill, colorful, somber, hungry, sleepy, angry, hopeful and more. The work on display was juried by Liz Andrews, executive director of the Spelman College Museum of Fine Art.
ATHICA@CINÉ Gallery
“In Search of Mutisia” — Works by Nancy Barbosa.
Lyndon House Arts Center
“RE-, the Clarke County School District Student Art Exhibition” — Includes works by students from Kindergarten to 12th grade and media such as weaving, sculpture, photography, painting, drawing and collage. Also included are large collaborative works of art by classrooms and grades.
The Athenaeum
“Smooooooooooooooth Operator” — Brooklyn-based artist Kameelah Janan Rasheed presents a new exhibition that examines the poetics and power of machine learning. She questions computation, the role of the reader and ritual in “Smooooooooooooooth Operator,” which considers the menace of smoothness. We know what a smooth thing is; we’ve run our hand over a surface without noticeable projections or interruptions. Smoothing as a practice shows up in music via quantization and again in image processing via filters. Both are procedures of standardization and forced patterning by disregarding dirty data (or noise) in the service of fulfilling the audience’s expectations. Smooth viewing is easy viewing because the brain doesn’t have to second guess what it is looking at. Smooth images, smooth text make smooth, speed readers.
tiny ATH gallery
Pen and ink exhibition by Valley StipeMaas. John Kiran Fernandes performing experimental clarinet.
Safety precautions in place for tiny ATH gallery:
Face masks are optional in the gallery if fully vaccinated
Please consider parking up Pulaski/Cleveland to alleviate parking issues if lot is full
If you feel unwell, or have been in touch with anyone who has been sick, please stay home
Hotel Indigo, Athens
ArtWall@Hotel Indigo: Photography by Lucy Reback and Megan Reilly — These New York-based photographers have been living and working in Athens for the past two years. The artists, who are also a couple, have never exhibited collaboratively. These works span five years; some were taken before the couple met, and others are intimate vignettes of their relationship. The fragmented assemblage of their combined work reinterprets these memories, bending time to include the other in their past and articulate the present connection.
Glass Cube: “Aurora,” an installation by multimedia artist Zane Cochran featuring changing light and geometric lanterns based on occurrences of the Northern Lights. Open 24/7.
The Classic Center
Classic Gallery I: “Spotlight: Paintings by Amy Watts” — Cowgirls, farmers, miners, Indigenous peoples and angels comingle on big, bold, colorful canvases that bring to mind stained-glass windows and WPA murals.
Classic Gallery II: “Light Bright” — This exhibition is inspired by the childhood toy. Remember piercing through with little, colorful, plastic pegs to create glowing compositions. Artists Caitlin Gal, Allison McPheeters and Alivia Patton all utilize the simple circle to create inspiring works. Gal’s paintings joyfully point to plant life and biology using a bright color palette and Matisse-inspired shapes. McPheeters uses drawing as a means to relax, and her intricate repeated mark reads as a sort of meditation. Patton shows the transformation of form in her works that resemble a target or a planet or an eyeball.
—
Third Thursday was established in 2012 to encourage attendance at Athens’ established art venues through coordination and co-promotion by the organizing entities. This schedule and venue locations and regular hours can be found at 3thurs.org.

Socialite nyc
Like all socialites, this woman is a self-marketing genius, but on a much larger playing field.” “The socialite every socialite not so secretly wants to be, and the twentieth century’s greatest fashion icon, bar none.” What’s more, “she made it socially acceptable-even enviable- to marry a Greek billionaire.”Īs much as it pained some of our experts to say this (one crossed her name out altogether), Paris “belongs high up on this list because of the immense success she has had in parlaying minor, ‘Page Six’– and porno-fueled notoriety into inexorable global celebrity. “The grandmother of all socialites”-and, as such, “the original American snob.” Her “Four Hundred” was the “avatar of any subsequent ‘in’ crowd worthy of the name (e.g., the ‘in’ and ‘out’ lists Truman Capote drew up for his Black and White Ball).” No doubt socialite-ologists will cry foul over some entries-even our own experts may complain-but when it comes to the world of socialites, not everybody can make the cut. This list of the most influential socialites was put together after consulting several experts on the New York social scene, whose comments are below. T hey codified snobbery! They made careers out of fame! And they did some amazing things for this city (see the New York Public Library, the Met, etc.). Madison McGaw/BFA.comĬhristie’s deputy chairperson Sara Friedlander had guests raising their paddles to donate to the museum, raising funds for programs and educational initiatives.Photo: Jeff Vespa/WireImage Ron Galella/WireImage Socialite Debbie Bancroft co-chaired the dinner, while her daughter Serena helped bring people to the dance. Phillips and George Wells.Īrt collector and philanthropist Miyoung Lee, socialite Stacey Engman (wearing a sash that read “Art Royalty”), Mary Snow, Jean Shafiroff, and artist Ugo Rondinone attended. The swank Saturday dinner was co-chaired by socialite Debbie Bancroft, Preston T. David Benthal/BFA.comįriday’s dance - DJ’d by Oscar Nñ of Papi Juice and chaired by Larry Milstein and Destinee Ross-Sutton - drew a young crowd on the dance floor including Vogue’s Elise Taylor, Michael Cohen’s daughter Samantha and Serena Bancroft. Thomas, shown here with Carole Server and Mónica Ramírez-Montagut, curated an exhibit with Racquel Chevremont. It was one reason why when it was offered to me, I couldn’t say no.”Īrtists Leilah Babirye, Torkwase Dyson, February James, Karyn Olivier, Kameelah Janan Rasheed, and Kennedy Yanko are included in the exhibit. She said, “What I enjoy most is giving a platform to artists, specifically women and people of color who regularly don’t have these opportunities. Thomas tells us she was tapped in February and that the pair were able to bring together artists quickly using, “a long list that we’ve had over the years.” Well-heeled guests were able to see an exhibit of Jasper Johns prints, dating from 1960 – 2018, and “Set It Off,” a collection of art curated by Racquel Chevremont and Mickalene Thomas, also known as Deux Femmes Noires. The Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill brought out socialites, philanthropists, artists and young, hip patrons to its Midsummer dance and dinner this weekend.

So all that is to say I do feel I’m listening all day long; I would characterize everything I do as a form of listening. In terms of my writing rituals, I am very specifically up before the sun rises in a meditative practice of listening. The most intensive specific listening practice is that early morning practice.

Kameelah Janan Rasheed’s artwork in the museum’s lobby inspired this poem by Suny Cardenas-Gomez, Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art intern:
Is this the (Last) Time?
Remember my birthright
is uncertainty
I wonder
is change going to come for me?
Which me will that be?
I’m waiting
among swirling memories
Paralyzed
pushing on
I’m certain of loss
Is existing my right to be?
Is change ever going to come for me?
