November 5, 2016 – January 29, 2017

A detail of Vanessa German's multimedia sculpture "Two Ships," featuring small sculptures of two Black women on a skateboard at right angles to one another. One appears to be kicking her leg back before moving the skateboard forward. The other stands on a bucket on the back of the skateboard and holds a mirror facing us in her right hand.

Celebrating Visual Art Narratives

In this exhibition, the Georgia Review — the University of Georgia’s highly regarded journal of arts and letters — celebrated the wide-ranging roster of visual artists whose work it has reproduced with a selected retrospective of paintings, works on paper, photographs and 3-D compositions by contributors from across the United States and beyond: Kael Alford, Benny Andrews, Nina Barnes, Carl Bower, Tamas Deszo, Vanessa German, Daniel Mirer, Margaret Morrison, Celeste Rapone, Bianca Stone, Kara Walker, Patti Warashina and Masao Yamamoto. Focusing on the many ways in which stories can be told, the exhibition emphasized art making as visual testimony.
