Bewareness: recent collaborations from William Downs and George Long
February 21 - March 20, 2015
Opening Reception, Saturday, Feb. 21 7-10pm
William Downs and George Long met at the Atlanta College of Art in the early 1990’s.
Downs majored in printmaking and painting while Long majored in sculpture but spent an appreciable amount of time in printmaking.
Both artists were active members of an Atlanta artists collective known as Baker’s Dozen, which inspired a natural collaboration with Downs and Long. The artists’ time with Baker’s Dozen resulted in many nights of drawing on napkins at bars, while brainstorming and sharing ideas on projects and exhibitions. Bewareness, a project crated by Downs and Long for TEMPUS Projects, rehashes those moments from the 90’s of automatic drawings and shared drawings. The artists currently meet regularly at The Local, an Atlanta Bar.
There, they work on small drawings made with a multitude of drawing utensil’s and media, sometimes inviting fellow artists to draw with them, further extending their collaboration. The work will be installed in the gallery as a cloud of scattered drawings, mounted on small panels.
