After reading MARA SHALHOUP’s vivid and kaleidoscopic exploration of the Black Mafia Family, BMF: The Rise and Fall of Big Meech and the Black Mafia Family, you’ll never be able to look at Atlanta’s streets, Buckhead’s mansions, or a line of cocaine the same again. Whether she’s recountingmore...

After reading MARA SHALHOUP’s vivid and kaleidoscopic exploration of the Black Mafia Family, BMF: The Rise and Fall of Big Meech and the Black Mafia Family, you’ll never be able to look at Atlanta’s streets, Buckhead’s mansions, or a line of cocaine the same again. Whether she’s recounting the bright lights and big heads at a high-end nightclub or parsing the machinations of a Byzantine federal investigation, Shalhoup is a sure-footed investigator of organized crime. www.bmfbook.com


Full disclosure: Shalhoup is CL’s editor in chief. Arts freelancer Wyatt Williams chose Shalhoup for this award and wrote the blurb. We trust that Wyatt was in no way influenced by Shalhoup’s role at CL when he made this selection.

It’s safe to say that the last five years JULIAN COX has spent as the curator of photography at the High have been some of the museum’s most productive, and arguably its most impressive. Exhibitions such as Harry Callahan: Eleanor in 2007, 2008’s Road to Freedom: Photographs of the Civil Rights Movement, 1956-1968, and most recently, Signs of Life: Photographs by Peter Sekaer have raised the museum’s profile and helped pad its permanent collection. For the “Picturing the South” series, Cox wrangled commissions from photographer Alec Soth that now call the High home. Among the best of the nation’s photography scholars, Cox was appointed as Founding Curator of Photography for the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco and Chief Curator of the de Young Museum in July. We’re sad to see him go, but thanks to his diligent efforts at building the museum’s permanent collection in truly meaningful ways, we have plenty to remember him by. 1280 Peachtree St. 404-733-4444. www.high.org. less...

Ironically, Alliance Theatre Kendeda Graduate Playwriting Competition finalist FAIR USE proved to be more felicitous and satisfying than any of the Kendeda’s storied winners to date. Actor’s Express’ Freddie Ashley snapped up Sarah Gubbins’ ingenious and witty examination of workplace romance and intellectual property, which demonstrates its own points by turning into a nimble riff on Cyrano de Bergerac for the online, gay-friendly age. Fair Use proves that a play doesn’t need historical settings or heavyweight subject matter to explore rich ideas and the nature of relationships. less...

Forget gallery walls, this year artists have been vying for representation in public spaces, most significantly as part of the sprawling, multidisciplinary project ART ON THE BELTLINE. Intended to boost awareness of the size and scope of the proposed 22-mile loop of parks, trails and transit, and its potential impact on you and me and our fair city, the multipart exhibit has featured everything from a poignant performance art and installation piece by Hormuz Minina to Jeffry Loy’s glowing steel flower pods. www.beltline.org less...

Between Tyler Perry’s Atlanta-based media empire, Georgia’s financial incentives for film production, and Screen Gems’ new deal to convert Lakewood Fairgrounds into a soundstage, the A has increasingly raised its profile as a destination for making movies and television shows. Perhaps no project could do more for the city’s cachet than the local filming of “THE WALKING DEAD,” American Movie Classics’ undead miniseries developed by director Frank Darabont and based on the cult graphic novel series of the same name. AMC is essentially the new HBO, boasting such critically acclaimed fare as “Mad Men” and “Breaking Bad.” If “The Walking Dead” lives up to those shows when it debuts in November, it could boost our cool factor by several orders of magnitude. Either way, it’s always fun having zombies around. &emdash;www.amctv.com/originals/The-Walking-Dead less...

Actor’s Express artistic director FREDDIE ASHLEY benefits from the law of averages in this category: He’s such a prolific director that if you’ve seen a vivid or imaginative production recently, odds are he helmed it. Ashley’s coming off a particularly fulsome season that included the memory-haunted musical Grey Gardens, the intimate musical A Catered Affair, and the showbiz satire-turned-fightfest Slasher. In Ashley’s shows, the actors make graceful transitions between powerful emotional beats without ever letting the snappy pace flag. Here’s hoping Ashley keeps up the pace as well. www.actors-express.com less...

Perhaps something’s in the water in Lawrenceville. Since AURORA THEATRE debuted its new playhouse there in 2007, the once-tame suburban theater has seen increasing creative dividends. In the past season, Aurora debuted the Georgia Gwinnett College Lab Series of innovative scripts at its new black box theater, where you can see the likes of the funny, quirky boom and the intriguing, upcoming The Circumference of a Squirrel, starring Daniel May. The programming has branched out from familiar theatrical warhorses and included such coups as the regional premiere of A Catered Affair with Glenn Rainey, and hit a high watermark with Tranced, a twisty political thriller on a par with the best work of Actor’s Express, Horizon Theatre and Alliance Hertz Stage. Like Marietta’s Theatre in the Square, Aurora strikes just the right balance between pleasing its audience and challenging its artists. 128 E.

Atlanta’s art scene has experienced a changing of the guard over the past couple of years: The collective has become king. And while the twenty- and thirtysomethings behind the city’s nascent art co-ops, galleries and organizations have displayed remarkable entrepreneurial savvy, and ushered in a new generation of nonprofits, they’ve also shown that they know how to party. ART PARTIES such as Dashboard Co-op’s launch event at the cavernous Blue Tower Gallery, Dodekapus’ mad art show-cum-ice-sculpting-rave, BurnAway’s fundraising extravaganza, and round two of the underground local art and music fest ARTlantis are a mere sampling of the past year’s social calendar. The parties ring with the energy of those who are making up the rules as they go. What’s more, the art is good and just keeps getting better. We’re not saying an art show has to have fire dancers to be fun ... but it sure as hell doesn’t hurt. less...

Tucked away in the nether regions of the Sampson Street Lofts, MINT GALLERY makes itself known with an unassuming orange door. The artist-run nonprofit gallery is practically ground zero for projects from Atlanta’s emerging creatives. Owners/operators Erica Jamison and Mike Germon maintain a frenetic pace conceiving of inspired artist collabos (Joe Tsambiras, Sam Parker and the Paper Twins’ Here We Hide); killer group shows (Solid Gold); and hosting hot-shit guest curators (Ben Goldman and Jason Travis), while co-founder Andrew Bellury acts as liaison for MINT exhibitions at other venues around town. 684-B John Wesley Dobbs Ave. mintgallery.blogspot.com. less...

As BP’s busted well continued to gush oil into the Gulf of Mexico nearly two months after the Deep Water Horizon’s “blowout preventer” failed to deliver as promised on April 20, a couple of locals took to the Krog Street tunnel to voice their frustration, painting “fu bp” above the DeKalb Avenue entrance. The best part, though, was the FU BP TIME-LAPSE VIDEO that circulated the following day.

Which restaurant has changed the face of Atlanta dining the most since opening in the past year? The restaurant that finally brought us world-class pizza. ANTICO PIZZA NAPOLETANA had more of an impact on the deliciousness of our city than all the New Southern, farm-to-table places combined. There’s no one thing that explains why Antico is so great, but there are plenty of things worth mentioning: the ovens and flour and tomatoes and workers imported from Italy; the blaring opera music; the convivial seating arrangements, where you might have to eat beside strangers at a metal table in the kitchen. But oh, when those pizzas arrive with their hot, crusty, thin, perfectly balanced crusts, and their tangy, sweet tomato sauce, that’s when Antico becomes akin to a religious experience. It’s the church of pizza. Consider us converted. 1093 Hemphill Ave. 404-724-2333. www.anticopizza.it. less...
