Remember Molly Rose Freeman?

Remember Molly Rose Freeman and former CL photo assistant Dustin Chambers’ collaboration Hourglass? Remember what Freeman was doing, publicly painting a mural, an undertaking “necessarily interdisciplinary, interpersonal, and intermediated”? So anyway it’s opening at Beep Beep, Freeman’s kind of Day Glo, all-over constellations. Technically this opening is phase two, succeeding the making-of that featured photo and videographic documentation of Freeman’s process compliments of Chambers and Wil Hughes. Look at her hands! With a reception from 7-10 p.m.

It’s your last weekend to see Ben Steele’s From this, a Mountain at {Poem88}. If for no other reason, see it for this: the work “involves a complex process that includes installation, digital photography, and projected images that develop into large-scale and easel-size oil paintings.” The goal approaches some kind of reflection of ephemerality and artifice. Nothing is quite where it should be.

FRIDAY-SATURDAY

Featuring Greg Catellier’s Catellier Dance Company and choreography from Gustavo Ramirez Sansano, The Goat Farm will host Series IV, its latest in “performances, experiments, and shops emphasizing sociability, experience, and conversation.” Sansano’s choice is particular: he’s bringing “El Beso” (“The Kiss”) with him - a show he created for New York’s Ballet Hispanico just this spring.

SUNDAY

It’s summer, almost, at least culturally. Do something good, the day before Memorial Day - or something spectatorial of good. MODA will open Revolution by Design, which runs all summer. The exhibit, with sponsorship from MailChimp and the Fulton County Arts Council, among others,”offers a look at how designers, engineers, students, professors, architects, and social entrepreneurs from the Southeastern United States are using design to solve the problems of the 21st century. The exhibit is subtitled “Innovating for a Better World” and has also been called “Design for Social Impact.” So this is serious.
