  Looming Chaos

  January 25 - May 10, 2020
  Mortin Gallery, Zuckerman Museum of Art

  Reception: Saturday, Jan. 25, 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. 

  Looming Chaos ​is a solo exhibition of Atlanta-based artist Zipporah Camille Thompson. The exhibition explores the artist’s use of weaving to engage ideas of chaos. Thompson conceptualizes chaos as the tensions associated with personal and universal experiences of disaster and catastrophe. Her weaving practice enables her to materialize the destruction, disorder, and confusions of the world, transforming them into fantastical fiber abstractions. The deterioration of the environment, tumultuous personal histories, and the complexities of her own identity become fodder for creation.

  Unbound

  January 25 - May 10, 2020
  East Galleries, Zuckerman Museum of Art

  Reception: Saturday, Jan. 25, 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. 

  Unbound brings together a multigenerational group of artists whose work takes an inventive and experimental approach to abstraction. Their works consider the essential elements of abstract painting: color, form, gesture, line, and space, through unorthodox use of materials that break the confines of a rectangular canvas, and implode the boundaries between painting, sculpture, and installation. The works on view hang, stretch, tether, and dangle off the walls, breaking free from the bounds of figuration, and complicating the boundaries of painting itself. 
  
  Unbound features the work of Romare Bearden, Sam Gilliam, Joe Overstreet, Eric N. Mack, Anthony Akinbola, Krista Clark, and Tariku Shiferaw.
