Hagedorn Foundation Gallery is pleased to present two one-person exhibitions, by Atlanta sculptor David Landis and Savannah painter June Stratton, that consider how people and nature reflect each other in their behavior, their strength and fragility. The dual exhibition, titled “Animal Dreams,” opens July 17 with an Artists’ Reception from 6 to 8:30 p.m. and runs through September 15. For more opening info, please click here:

In Animal Dreams, each artist’s dreamscapes depict animals and birds in a reflective silver tone – whether cubist aluminum sculptures of floating and falling creatures or silver leaf paintings of birds and animals in midair. Landis and Stratton’s poetic works incorporate the mirror-like material of silver as an intentional nod to the aesthetic use of this treasured tone in classical art of centuries past.

Concepts of Cartography and Visual Art July 12th - 11:30 am  To join our talk, click here to RSVP!

In 16,500 BC humans started drawing maps of the night sky. Cartography represents more than just mapping, it represents the human desire to locate where we are in relation to other humans and to the universe around us. As our understanding of the world and ourselves has changed, our maps have changed.

Dean Steve Aishman will discuss how Nanna Debois Buhl and Hans Christian Schink’s work participate in the continued evolution of cartography by displaying contemporary visual representations of how humans locate themselves in a place.

Brenda Massie Director Hagedorn Founation Gallery says, "This is our first time participating in Art Southampton, and we couldn't be more thrilled!" Presented by Art Miami, Art Southampton is the premier international contemporary and modern art fair taking place at the peak of the social and cultural season in the Hamptons, July 24 through 28, 2014. The fair features a carefully selected group of more than 75 international art galleries with a strong focus on works from the 20th and 21st  centuries.

We will be located in booth AS53 and will be presenting works by  Peter Bahouth, Jill Greenberg, Paul Hagedorn, Ethan Levitas, Landon Nordeman, John Oetgen, Margriet Smulders and Gregor Turk. Click here for more information on each of these artists.   Each of the artists challenges standard techniques and subject matter investigating the rationales and desires of our culture.

June Stratton’s (b.1959, Hawaii) oil paintings and pastels have been successfully shown in Savannah and her home gallery of Boston, Lanoue Fine Art Gallery.  Her work has been acquired by many collections including Bank of America, the U.S. Department of State, The Mayo Clinic and Texaco, Inc. Stratton’s pieces can be seen in major movie productions as well as national and international collections, including the acclaimed St. Regis Art collection, in the hotel’s Atlanta location.

David Landis (b.1964, New York) is a sculptor whose work ranges from large-scale public commissions to smaller private works. Landis is currently producing pieces for the Lucille Packard Children’s Hospital, Palo Alto, CA and the new Alpharetta Public Library. He is also creating one of Atlanta’s largest permanent landscape installations- the 33 Oaks Project. His commissions include the Atlanta Beltline; the gardens of the Pierre Baudis Congress Center, Toulouse, FR; the Albany Law Enforcement Center, Albany, GA; the U.S. Bancorp Center, Minneapolis, MN; as well as Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, Novelis Corporation, Fulton County government center, Kennesaw State University, the Cathedral of St. Philip, Atlanta, Trees Atlanta and the Atlanta Botanical Garden.

Steve Aishman is the dean of Academic Services at SCAD Atlanta. Before becoming dean, Aishman was a professor of photography and cultural theory at institutions such as Harvard, Massachusetts College of Art and Design, and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.

His artwork revolves around issues of contemporary visual language.

Hagedorn Foundation Gallery opened in 2009 under the mentorship of Julian Cox, Curator of Photography at the Getty and High Museums. Since that time, the not–for-profit gallery has extended the scope of photography and photo based art in Atlanta focusing on contemporary practices which foreground social and political issues and which frequently push the definition of documentary tradition and artistic manipulation. Exhibitions are augmented by lectures and talks at the gallery by exhibiting artists and panels of cultural, art historical and theoretical experts. Hagedorn Foundation Gallery also offers classic images and vintage and secondary market collections.
