Articles in Orbit
Final day of exhibition: Sunday, October 6, 2024
Address: Atlanta Contemporary
535 Means St NW, Atlanta, GA 30318
Be sure to stop by Atlanta Contemporary before this exciting exhibition comes to a close. Articles in Orbit is a fashion-centric exhibition that presents eye-catching photo, video, and mixed media installation pieces by six contemporary photographers: Jamil Fatti, Sarah Hobbs, Xin Liu, Christopher Sonny Martinez, Tatum Shaw and Wisdom Warner.
Articles in Orbit is the newest exhibition from Mary Stanley Studio, building on the exhibition series Fashion Statement, created in 2008. Documenting the latest fads in contemporary fashion and futuristic fine art photography, this installment zeroes in on the magnetism of certain fashion choices and the emerging importance of personal style in the 21st Century. Venturing beyond mere ‘editorial’ these six artists warp, probe, and pioneer to document contemporary aesthetics that come from intense and personal self-curation. Here, accessories exist as catalysts, risk-taking is exalted, and the fashion statements hint at chaos. The messy. The fresh. The “I didn’t see that coming”.
The Atlanta Contemporary will feature a collection of large-scale portraits by Xin, Shaw, Warner, Hobbs, and Fatti. Featured also are photographic etchings on mirror glass by Christopher Sonny Martinez, as well as two digital video installations by Martinez and Xin, and five hand-crafted pocketbooks from Hobbs’ Portable Utopias series.
