Swan Coach House Gallery

Featuring work by: Jeannette Montgomery Barron

Exhibition: Thu, Oct 1 to Sat, Nov 7

In her series, My Mother’s Clothes, Montgomery Barron has created a moving tribute to her mother, Eleanor Montgomery Atuk, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2002 and from which she later died in 2007.

Night Journey:
Installation and Images
Alan Avery Art Company

Featuring work by: Michael Childers, Susan kae Grant, Robert Gregory Griffeth

Exhibition: Thu, Oct 1 to Tue, Nov 3

Alan Avery Art Company welcomes Dallas photographer Susan kae Grant to Atlanta for her first exhibition with the gallery. Her most recent body of work, “Night Journey,” is a multi-dimensional installation and suite of iris prints exploring the artistic interpretation of dreams, memory and the unconscious. It has been exhibited at thirteen venues and was included in the “International Biennale of Contemporary Art” in Florence, Italy.

ME, MYSELF & ME, an exhibition of Michael Childers’ lost portfolio of Andy Warhol will be showing in the front gallery. Many photographs were taken of the larger than life character, but rarely did Warhol sit for a photographer for images with such transparency into his soul. Childers’ images seem to capture the loneliness that lay deep and trapped hidden within, away from the paparazzi and the bright lights of stardom.

The gallery will also feature the mysterious work of local photographer Robert Gregory Griffeth. The mystery in Griffeth’s photographs is not only the haunting imagery, but also his synergetic process. Griffeth uses several pieces of negatives to create one powerful image.

Exhibition Opening Reception: Thu, Oct 1, 6pm - 9pm

Night Journey: Opening Reception

The opening reception is Thursday, October 1, 6-9pm, coinciding with the First Thursday Buckhead Gallery Walks.

Artist Lecture: Sat, Oct 3, 2pm - 3pm

Works by Corey Daniels
Hagedorn Foundation Gallery

Featuring work by: Corey Daniels

Exhibition: Thu, Oct 1 to Thu, Oct 29

Corey Daniels (b. 1951) creates large scale images based on friends, family and a lifelong collection of antique objects & oddities. Out of these he creates transformational still life compositions and portraits. Daniels' subjects transcend their everydayness through his direct approach to frame and composition and his sensitive use of natural light. His works urge the viewer to dwell in the moment of observation, in the mystery and ambiguity of a small slice of life. Concurrent with his large format photography, Daniels has been a successful abstract painter for 40 years. This is his first gallery exhibition in the South.

Beyond the Glance…the Legacy of Carol's Vision
Tower Gallery

Featuring work by: Carol Hendon

Exhibition: Sat, Oct 3 to Sat, Oct 31

At the tender age of 12 Carol Hendon's heart was stolen. Not by the boy next door, or the latest teen idol, but by the Kodak Instamatic. From that moment on the medium of photography and the power of the still image fascinated her.

Carol thrived on using the camera's lens to reveal images that might otherwise be overlooked or go unseen. She cultivated her craft on film, yet embraced the digital age of photography. Melding film and technology in her digital darkroom, Carol explored the multi-layers of her creative vision. On October 29, 2008, following a two-year battle with esophageal and lung cancer, Carol, 54, passed away at home surrounded by love and the photos that live on as a tribute to her talent.

It is the hope of Don Shomaker, her beloved partner of 23 years, that through showing her works Carol's unique vision will live on inspiring others to look past the obvious to the beauty that surrounds them.

Whether shooting an intimate portrait, a celebration, the beauty of nature or a product for marketing, Carol invited her audience take a moment and go beyond a glance to find something in her photographs that moved their spirit.
