beverly buchanan athens disabled economy exchange mo costello katz tepper 1234770440

Beverly Buchanan, who lived in Athens, Georgia for over 20 years, often paid for everyday needs with her artworks, trading them with her doctor and local community members. A new exhibition titled "Beverly's Athens" at the University of Georgia's Athenaeum showcases works borrowed from local collections, including pieces from her doctor's personal collection and sculptures from her own backyard. The show features her flower drawings, which her dealer Betty Parsons once rejected, as well as her "ruins" sculptures and archival footage of her garden. Curators Mo Costello and Katz Tepper, both artists who are chronically ill, organized the exhibition to highlight Buchanan's ecosystem of exchange and survival.
