Atlanta gallery turns political tension into art with ‘Politically inCorrect’ exhibition

EuGene V Byrd III has curated the 'Politically inCorrect' group fine art exhibition, now open at Railroad ATL inside the Future Gallery in Atlanta. Featuring over 50 artists and 110 to 120 works across painting, photography, sculpture, and collage, the show addresses what Byrd calls an overdue conversation about art and social responsibility. Inspired by W.E.B. Du Bois, the open-call exhibition asks artists to speak their truth on political and social issues, with pieces like Faif Quin's photograph referencing the killing of Charlie Kirk and Naylon D. Mitchell's portrait 'Mama Rosa' among the highlights. The exhibition runs through May 30.

For Lovers Of Design, the High Museum Has A Treat For You

The High Museum of Art in Atlanta has launched "Isamu Noguchi: ‘I am not a designer’," the first major design retrospective of the artist’s work in nearly 25 years. Featuring approximately 200 objects, the exhibition spans Noguchi's diverse career, from early commercial products like the Radio Nurse and fashion illustrations to his iconic furniture for Herman Miller and Knoll. The show is organized thematically, exploring how Noguchi blurred the lines between industrial design, architecture, and fine art.
