The Savannah College of Art and Design-Atlanta is exhibiting the first Atlanta solo show of French artist Kader Attia, Sept. 22-Nov. 30, at the ACA Gallery of SCAD. Attia will give a lecture Sept. 24, 5-6 p.m., in the Rich Auditorium at the Woodruff Arts Center; a reception in the ACA Gallery of SCAD will follow from 6-8 p.m. Both the exhibition and the reception are free and open to the public. “Signs of Reappropriation” features a site-specific installation of Attia’s 2007 “Untitled (Skyline)” series and a newly commissioned body of photographs that he will print and install during a brief residency at SCAD-Atlanta.“Untitled (Skyline)” consists of 80 discarded refrigerators painted black and covered in tiny, geometric mirror “windows.” This cityscape of customized household appliances addresses the impact of architecture and urbanism on people’s everyday lives, and particularly examines the way power is used to oppress populations.
