SEE & DO: ‘Emergent Behavior’ and ‘Almost Grown’

[]

Contemporary photo gallery Jackson Fine Art opens new exhibits featuring the works of two differently talented photographers. In his Emergent Behavior series, Thomas Jackson uses large-scale kinetic sculptures to create whimsical scenes of contrast between the natural and artificial worlds, such as discarded takeout containers on a beach. Photographer Joseph Szabo sticks to black and white in Almost Grown, a series that analyzes the teenage experience, coming of age and discovering one’s self and sexuality. The retired high school photography teacher spent his career focusing on the complexities of adolescence and “suburban, disaffected youth.” Free-$5. Opening reception: Fri., July 21, 6-8 p.m. Through Sept. 16. Jackson Fine Art, 3115 E. Shadowlawn Ave. N.E. 404-233-3739. www.jacksonfineart.com.
