- BIRD WATCHING: A new piece from Stephen Key for Frequencies at Beep Beep Gallery
The New Year comes, inevitably, with a new wave of artists at Beep Beep Gallery. The gallery’s upcoming exhibition, Frequencies, showcases the diverse work of Adam Stephenson, Alea Hurst, Masud Olufani, Paul Rodecker, Stephen Key, and Tanner Wilson. Beep Beep explains that while they get to know the artists better, we get to check out the works in sculpture, painting, installation, drawing, and collage for ourselves. The exhibition opens on Sat. Jan. 17 at 7 p.m., but will continue through Feb. 14. More details here
FRIDAY
In anticipation of his move to New York City, WonderComedy regular and Atlanta favorite Jake Head will take the stage during this month’s stand-up show case, hosted by Andrew Michael. Head’s sendoff will include Cherith Fuller, Remi Treuer, Joel Byars, Rob Haze, and other local comedians. Whether you’re toasting his next step or crying into your glass, BYOB will only put you out $5. Doors open at 8:30 p.m., and the show starts at 9 p.m. More detailed information can be found here.
SUNDAY
MODA is finally reopening their doors after an installation period with insights into how we can help the environment—and how it can help us. Sustainable Shelter: Dwelling Within the Forces of Nature examines the ways in which our structures parallel with animals’, how our homes contribute to our energy and resource consumption and the design solutions that can help reestablish the vitality of our environment. Organized by the Bell Museum of Natural History at the University of Minnesota, Sustainable Shelter will provide tips on energy efficiency and some broader understanding of our impact on the world. The exhibition opens on Jan. 18, at 12 p.m., but will continue until April 5. For more information, click here. #shelteratl

For those of you who wish the weekend would last a little longer, consider The Low Museum your fairy godmother. The artist-run space is continuing their monthly Drunk Critique series into the New Year, now on the third Monday of every month. Following their recently opened exhibitions, YOU TELL ME and Sweaty Palms, Low’s Drunk Critique No. 8 will provide a “casual yet critical environment for artists to share works in progress and receive feedback, drink in hand,” says Gallery Director Jordan Stubbs. The artists, Stubbs, and photographer Freddy Simone, will both be available to talk about their work. Doors open at 6 p.m., but the critiquing will start at 7 p.m. Find more details here.
