Atlanta Whitespace Gallery Personal but at the same time universal, Amy Pleasant’s exhibition “re / form” was conceived with the Whitespace Gallery in mind. The two rooms of this converted coach house retain vestiges of their history—herringbone brick floors, a few words scribbled years ago on the wooden walls.
Roberley Bell

Michael Hakimi

Ed Gillum
Fresno, California 1821 Gallery Ed Gillum’s recent work combines various artifacts to create models of a post-Baudrillardian universe, in which the world of mass-produced simulacra and the authentically personal live together.
