Gallery Opening: "The Abandonment" by Charlie Watts
The Emory Visual Arts presents "The Abandonment" three photo essays by Charlie Watts. In this exhibit Watts explores many abandoned structures with her photography and drawings along with several natural history museums. In her first photo essay "Abruzzo," she shows the absolute destruction of the earthquake that hit this region in Italy two years ago. Dovetailing with this essay is "The Abandonments" which is an exploration of abandoned structures in Atlanta. The last group of photographs "Still Deaths" documents multiple different natural history museums that are on the verge of abandonment as taxidermied hippos begin to decay behind glass cages.
This will be Watts third solo show and first photography exhibit.
Opening reception: Thursday, July 22nd 5:30-7:00
700 Peavine Creek DriveAtlanta, GA 30322
