Gallery Hops at SCAD Atlanta are free and open to the public, allowing you to view many of SCAD’s groundbreaking exhibits at no cost–even a free shuttle to the galleries and parking services are available at the SCAD Atlanta campus. Fortunately, one of these seasonal events lined up for this evening—with refreshments served at select galleries. Details below:
The ACA Gallery of SCAD Atlanta welcomes the work of Cao Fei (a Chinese artist currently shortlisted for the Guggenheim Foundation’s Hugo Boss Prise) presents “NO LAB on Tour” in partnership with Map Office, a Hong Kong-based husband-and-wife duo, who show dynamic and politically charged films and line drawings depicting a Katrina-battered New Orleans. Joining the exhibit is a carnival cart with computers linked to another of this artist’s projects, Second Life. Viewers can use the software to create their own avatar and navigate the virtual world created by this digital architect. The exhibits continue through February 7 but are on view for free tonight from 6 to 8 p.m. Woodruff Arts Center, 1280 Peachtree St.
Swing by Trois Gallery for Erick Swenson’s moving “Caught Captive” exhibition of naturalistic cast resin sculptures depicting allegorical, hybrid creatures frozen in dramatic moments of tension. His Whitney Museum-exhibited “Carpet Piece”—an intricatedly painted fiberglass sculpture desined to look like a woven carpet–is also on view. This exhibit continues through January 24 but is on view for free tonight from 6 to 8 p.m. SCAD Atlanta, 1600 Peachtree St.
Head to Gallery See at 3:30 p.m. for a gallery talk by the creators of “Horsepower”—a two-person painting exhibition by SCAD Savannah professor Gregory Eltringham and SCAD’s 2009 Visiting Artist Matt Blackwell. From cruiser cars to equine imagery, the works play off the double meaning of the title word and pay homage to a nostalgic American past. This exhibit continues through February 26 but is on view for free tonight from 6 to 8 p.m. Visit at 3:30 p.m. for the artists’ talk. SCAD Atlanta, 1600 Peachtree St.
