Exhibition Oct 10 - Jan 20, 2016

In Summer 2014, the SCAD Museum of Art sponsored LBM Dispatch #7: Georgia, the seventh and final project of Alec Soth's ongoing Dispatch series (2011-2014) during a two-week, 2,400-mile excursion through rural and urban Georgia. SCAD is delighted to present the Southeast premiere of these new works during Atlanta Celebrates Photography.

The Dispatch series began in 2011 when Soth and writer Brad Zellar journeyed across Ohio masquerading as small-town newspaper beat reporters, covering day-to-day happenings along their trek. The exhibition will feature a selection of Soth's documentary photography from the Georgia series, creating a time-lapse portrait of the region.

This exhibition marks the conclusion of Soth and Zellar's Little Brown Mushroom (LBM) Dispatch and is curated by Aaron Levi Garvey, SCAD assistant curator of exhibitions.

Celebrated as one of the great mid-century American photographers, Brett Weston (1911-1993) is known for his distinctive approach to cityscapes, landscapes, and abstractions. Brett Weston is the son of influential photographer Edward Weston, who taught him to use a large-format camera. Weston's work initially focused on urban spaces in New York and San Francisco, but later shifted to abstract images of natural elements. Spanning more than fifty years, the prints in this show offer a broad view of the artist's career and demonstrate the High's strong holdings of post-war American photography. This exhibition is the result of a recent acquisition made possible through the generosity of Lucinda Bunnen, Christian Keesee, and the Brett Weston Archive.

Lecture Oct 24 2pm

This event is made possible through meaningful partnership with the High Museum of Art and is sponsored in part by Mailchimp.

Roe Ethridge (American, born 1969) studied photography at the Atlanta College of Art. Working within the classic genres of portrait, landscape, and still life photography, Ethridge integrates conceptual and commercial practices, at times using images already in circulation - including outtakes from his own editorial work.

Ethridge's work has been shown at institutions such as the Barbican Center (London), Carnegie Museum of Art (Pittsburgh), Institute of Contemporary Art (Boston), and the Whitney Museum and the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. In 2011, he was shortlisted for the Deutsche Borse Photography Prize. His first major retrospective, curated by Anne Pontegnie, was exhibited at Le Consortium in Dijon before traveling to Museum Leuven, Belgium, in 2012.

This program is free, however seating is limited and must be reserved through the Woodruff Arts Center Box Office at 404-733-5000. Limit two tickets per person. Tickets to the Museum are sold separately. Parking decks on site or take MARTA to Arts Center Station.
