Calendar Pick: “Morphogenesis” and “Scissors, Paper, Art” Reception
Named for the biological process that causes a cell or tissue to develop its shape, “Morphogenesis” is the newest exhibition by Afro-Cuban, Atlanta-based artist Wilay Méndez Páez. Páez is an artist in residence at Clark Atlanta University Art Museum and has had his work displayed across the world. This exhibition contains pieces made from contrasting recycled materials. Sculptures made from car parts represent resourcefulness and the grit of urban life, while mat board sculptures represent the seeds of new ideas. It will be on view through Aug. 31. “Scissors, Paper, Art” is a collection of collages by Athens residents Jack Burk and Claire Clements. The two artists bring differing approaches to the works, with Clement’s technique focusing on silhouettes and flat planes of color, while Burk focuses on textures and materiality, but they come together to create lush images of nature. The exhibition was originally proposed as part of an open call for artists to display their work, which can still be applied for at accgov.com/lyndonhouse. The exhibit will be on display through Oct. 5.
