The Athenaeum presents a newly commissioned exhibition by New York-based artist, Rose Salane. The exhibition will be on display at the gallery from September 12 to November 23. The artist will give a lecture on September 11th at the Lamar Dodd School of Art at 5:30 pm in Auditorium S151. An exhibition opening will be held the following evening at the Athenaeum, September 12 from 6pm to 8pm.
Rose Salane is an artist who uses seemingly mundane objects to explicate systems of evaluation, exchange, and organization that shape daily life. In this exhibition, she arranges collected items of disparate origin from personal and bureaucratic archives—the Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library at the University of Georgia, the Atlanta History Center, the NYC Department of Citywide Administrative Services—to better understand historic cycles through an object’s recovery and storage.
