I went there to see a photographic exhibition by Decatur artist Conne Thalken, who - full disclosure - is a friend. Her work is excellent, of course, but this review is for the gallery. Whitespace is inside a carriage house behind an old home near where Euclid Ave splits off Edgewood. The gallery has two medium-sized rooms designed to hang art work or host an installation. It's intimate, but still large enough for a fair-sized opening. I like the character inside the space and the Inman Park location adds considerable ambiance. It's a great place to see art. Parking is not abundant with but a few spaces inside the grounds. If attending an opening, you'll need to park on the street, which isn't a big problem in this area.

Following a small plan for "project Valentina yelps about art galleries in the ATL," here's my…read moresecond review on the subject matter! In this opportunity I'm going to talk about Whitespace, my favorite art gallery in Atlanta! Whitespace was founded by art facilitator and connoisseur Susan Bridges, and it's a gem of Atlanta's cultural life. Not only because it's "a unique art venue which represents emerging and established contemporary artists," as they describe the gallery in their website, but also because their whole space is gorgeous and refined, without being snobbish or pretentious. Every time I plan to go there, I know I'm going to see interesting and carefully curated artwork, while having a wonderful time enjoying both the featured pieces and the place. Whitespace is a delightful cluster of bricks shaped by a front/side garden-patio, a spectacular 1893 house and what I consider a demi-house --where several rooms graciously host the artwork. I strongly recommend you pretty ladies and keen gentlemen interested in the arts, to keep informed of their fun openings through their website http://www.whitespace814.com/. If you catch a form, a color palette, a medium that thrills you, and the opening date related to all previously mentioned and attend it, join their mailing list by signing up in their reception. By the by, their openings are usually FABULOUS celebrations. Back in July 2007, they had a show featuring womanhood through the figure of Frida Khalo (Viva La Frida), where they showcased painting, photography, sculpture (featuring a very impressive cake-sculpture that was eaten afterward), performance and video. The party they put together for the opening included a beautiful candlelit flower altar that welcomed the public, right next to a chic "margarita" open bar, some delicious ouer d'oeuvres, and a burlesque live show by Atlanta's cabaret dancers the Dames AFlames (hot stuffff! http://www.damesaflame.com/peek2.htm). It was great and multilayered. I'm sure it'll be always great, and that they will have plenty of superb, five-star exhibits throughout the year!

This is…read morea review for a job he did a few months ago, while he was at the end of his lease on Flat Shoals Ave. The job was just custom-cutting 3 mats for 3 store-bought frames I already had. We had a great conversation about Atlanta, its arts scene, development around town, etc. Since my job (and artwork) was so small, he offered to save me some money by using leftover pieces of a high-quality archival mat board. Very helpful. We discussed that one mat in particular was to be given as a gift that Sunday to a visiting relative, and he assured me it would be ready for pickup by Friday or Saturday at the latest. Sadly, no call until the following Wednesday. Minus one star. The mats all look great, but the way they were done really shocked me: we discussed the artwork being hinged to the back matboard. I've only seen it done this way with the front mat window hinged at the top to the back mat, so that you can lift the front window and see the artwork attached to the back mat with photo corners. What I received was the artwork completely sealed between the two pieces of matboard. Like, permanently sandwiched and trapped between the front window and the back piece of matboard. Which means I can only re-frame the artwork into another frame of exactly the same size. And if anything happens to the matboard, the artwork would have to be rescued with an exacto knife, thereby cutting the original artwork to the size of the mat window. Is this a technique others have used or even heard of? Like I said, it looks good, but I believe all 3 pieces of original artwork were, for all archival intents and purposes, destroyed in this process. So minus one more star for this--?? It leaves me quite freaked out. I'm interested in re-framing them to get better UV protection, which is why this is coming up now. Wish I'd written this earlier to warn others, but better late and damaging than never, I guess???
