This month’s theme:  Rants, Raves and the Funk of the True Gospel

Anything goes at Eyedrum's monthly open improv night as a gaggle of Atlanta jazz aficionados & freaked out freebirds come together in a celebration of skrinks, skronks and experimental whispering and wailing. Reined in by Eyedrum Executive Director Robert Cheatham, the Thursday night event is a marathon of cool, spaced out and bizarro sounds laid down by everything horns and drums to howling dogs.

Curated by Kevin Sipp with Louise E. Shaw

September 22, 1906, white mobs poured into the Five Points area intent on racial violence. Inflamed by months of political rhetoric and newspaper sensationalism that fed racial fears and stereotypes, the violence against black citizens spread rapidly to East Atlanta, to Brownsville and Inman Park. In the end, at least twelve were dead, hundreds injured; fearful for their lives, many fled the city, their fates somehow erased from history. What Color the Dawn peels back the layers of this buried history in an effort to challenge our communities to re-view our shared history.

Through September 30th.

Small Gallery:
Paul Cordes Wilm


Missing!
Birmingham folk-pop artist Paul Cordes Wilm is missing!
See if you can find any clues to his whereabouts (and his genius) in his first installation for Eyedrum.
