Christopher Payne: Asylum

The Fine Arts Gallery of the ZMA is pleased to present a selection of photographs from Christopher Payne鈥檚 haunting series, Asylum. From 2002 to 2008, Payne visited seventy institutions in thirty states, photographing palatial exteriors designed by famous architects and crumbling interiors that appeared as if the occupants had just left. Additionally, he鈥痑lso documented how these hospitals functioned as self-contained cities, where almost everything of necessity was produced on site: food, water, power, and even clothing and shoes. Many of these places have since been demolished. The photographs from this powerful series serve as the final, official record of these sites. Asylum: Inside the Closed World of State Mental Hospitals was published by MIT Press in 2009 and includes an essay by Oliver Sacks.鈥� 

鈥疨ayne states, 鈥淲e tend to think of mental hospitals as 鈥渟nake pits鈥濃�攑laces of nightmarish squalor and abuse鈥攁nd this is how they have been portrayed in books and film. Few Americans, however, realize these institutions were once monuments of civic pride, built with noble intentions by leading architects and physicians, who envisioned the asylums as places of refuge, therapy, and healing. For more than half the nation's history, vast mental hospitals were a prominent feature of the American landscape. From the mid-nineteenth century to the early twentieth, more than 250 institutions for the insane were built throughout the United States; by 1948 they housed over half a million patients. But鈥痮ver the next thirty years, with the introduction of psychotropic drugs and policy shifts toward community-based care,鈥痯atient populations declined dramatically, leaving many of these鈥痬assive buildings neglected and abandoned."

Some Early Visionaries 

鈥淚 will thread a thread through my poems that time and events are compact miracles.鈥�  鈥� Walt Whitman

Some Early Visionaries featured drawings and collages by renowned artist Lesley Dill. The exhibition was on view in the ZMA Fine Arts Gallery from Tuesday, March 16 through Saturday, April 10, 2021. In celebration of April as National Poetry Month, the artist presented a live one-hour Zoom lecture on Friday, April 9, 2021. Dill鈥檚 talk addressed the use of language and poetry in her artwork and provided insight into her artistic studio practice where the intersection of language and fine art materialize as printmaking, sculpture, installation and performance and explore the power of words to cloak and reveal the psyche. Dill transforms the emotions of the writings of Emily Dickinson, Salvador Espriu, Tom Sleigh, Franz Kafka, and Rainer Maria Rilke, among others, into works of paper, wire, horsehair, foil, bronze and music鈥攚orks that awaken the viewer to the physical intimacy and power of language itself.

The American Print Alliance September 11, 2001 Memorial Portfolio Exhibition

Virtual Exhibition | Digital Animation

"A memorial portfolio is a way to help us understand the loss of so many individual lives.鈥� -Dr. Carol Pulin

Dr. Carol Pulin, Director of the American Print Alliance, started this project by suggesting that each artist create one print to commemorate one person. Pulin intended for this portfolio to honor individual lives and thereby, create a new legacy from the terrible events that took place on 9/11. Each contributing artist is a member of an alliance council or a subscriber to the journal, Contemporary Impressions. The imagery reflected in each print is as distinct as the artists, who range in age from high school students to retirees. Many works commemorate life with imagery of landscapes, figures, city scenes, abstractions, and some with expressions of sorrow or hope. The portfolio memorial is intended to cherish memories of life, with artwork as individual as those who are no longer with us. The scale of the project will unavoidably remind viewers of the number of innocent lives lost on September 11, 2001. The power of this memorial comes from seeing the actual prints in the exhibition and the representation of numerous communities, demonstrating the role of the arts in all of our lives.

Cuban Super Heroes

Cuban Superheroes paid homage to Africans who brought their culture and art practices to Cuba through the transatlantic slave trade. African-derived deities serve as guides, protectors and agents of change in Cuban culture. These qualities align them with the universal concept of superhero 鈥� a powerful being with supernatural transformative abilities. Printmaking and illustration students drew inspiration from these beings and each artist identified, researched and generated a visual vocabulary to explore the superhero concept. This exhibition was a collaborative artist-scholar project created by printmaking and illustration students in 食色视频鈥檚 School of Art and Design. 

Presented as part of 食色视频's 2019-20 Year of Cuba.

Art as Activism: Social Justice and Sustainability 

Presented by CIFAL Atlanta Distinguished UN-SDG Ambassadors

Two CIFAL Atlanta Distinguished United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2020 Ambassadors created this exciting initiative, Art as Activism: Social Justice and Sustainability, funded by RCE Greater Atlanta. Ambassadors Allison Yates and Cam Lorys developed the plan for this event during their time together in the CIFAL Atlanta program. Allison and Cam wanted to be able to develop a project that incorporated both social justice and environmentalism. As a result, they believed the creation of an exhibition of art made completely out of recycled materials that followed a social justice theme would work perfectly for their goal. The Ambassadors presented a virtual lecture for our November Last Wednesday Lunch program on November 18, 2020. During the virtual presentation, three award winners were announced to be given prize money to donate to one of ten charitable organizations working to solve issues of social justice or sustainability.
