This documentary series by award-winning photographer and author Stephanie Calabrese reveals an intriguing look at life in Monroe, Georgia — a small southern town situated comfortably between Athens and Atlanta. It's a place of contrasts — old and new, white collar and blue collar. Home to more than 13,000 folks — about half black and half white. It lacks a fancy grocery store, street art, and a place to buy liquor; but it's abundant in spacious cotton mills, bibles, and bankers. Conservative. Its shades of gray and democrats can be counted on one hand.

This series of photographs preserves a moment in time for Monroe, the artist's hometown, through intriguing scenes that depict a rare beauty she's discovered along the edges of the town's extremes.

Exhibition Oct 1 - Oct 31

This solo exhibition presented by the Arts Exchange features photographs from "Birth of a Warrior: Ten Weeks in Basic Training" by Raymond McCrea Jones published by University Press of New England imprint ForeEdge, September 2015.

The stunning photographs in "Birth of a Warrior" chronicle the transformation of 162 young men from across the country into U.S. Army Delta Company 2/47. From four in the morning until late at night, through arrival, processing, outfitting, marching, inspection, drill, physical training, combat training, and live-fire exercises, Jones documents an astonishing metamorphosis. Granted unprecedented access to the lives of these recruits and the NCOs responsible for their basic training, he photographs everything from their first haircuts to the tossing of their caps at graduation. Birth of a Warrior is both their story and our story: a profound look at the culture and humanity of those who go off to war.

Raymond McCrea Jones is a photographer and filmmaker based in Atlanta. He has worked for institutions like The New York Times and CNN; his clients include brands such as Georgia Pacific and Delta; and his photographs have appeared in publications around the world. Jones is represented by Redux Pictures and the Lisa Ekus Group.

Proving Grounds is a series of black and white imagery of the United States Marine Corps recruit training on Parris Island SC. Large format prints from vintage plastic cameras from the early 60's are surreal yet hauntingly visceral. In 1994 Maris was embedded with recruits for 23 days and each image reflects this intimate perspective into the transformation our youngest men and women experience as they commit to a life of service to the American public. The large format prints are accompanied by fiber based black and white prints taken with a Hasselblad in 2014. Both series were taken while scouting locations for commercial projects. This is the first time the photographs have been exhibited in their entirety. Jason Maris is a freelance photographer and documentary filmmaker that has been based in Atlanta since 1993. This show is timely as we are still at war although many civilians do not acknowledge it. The show is also part of a larger documentary film project entitled Homemade which addresses issues surrounding Post Traumatic Stress, Traumatic Brain Injuries and Suicide.

Atlanta based artist Madeleine Soloway's solvent transfer digital photographs draw inspiration from the beauty found in both gritty urban decay and the ever changing natural landscape. In a world continuously evolving by the transformative nature of time, it is the lingering remnants that hold captivating stories. The multi-layered images on exhibit create mysterious and dream-like narratives with an implied sense of history. The images reference the interplay between past and present, imagined and existing, transition and change.

Originally from Boston, Madeleine Soloway has been an exhibiting artist in the Atlanta area for the past 25 years and faculty member at The Paideia School. Soloway earned her BFA from Massachusetts College of Art in Boston and her MFA from Washington University in St. Louis. With several solo exhibitions at the Jeremy Stone Gallery, San Francisco, in the early 1980's Soloway's work landed in many important private SF Bay Area collections, and developed a strong following. This is Madeleine Soloway's first solo exhibition in Atlanta.
