2021 ATLANTA BIENNIAL:  VIRTUAL REMAINS

Atlanta Contemporary Art Center, Atlanta, GA.

February 18 – August 1, 2021

Offering fertile ground for speculation, experimentation, and failure, Atlanta Contemporary’s Project Spaces are a departure from the traditional white cube. Virtual Remains bridges marginal and unconventional spaces to examine how contemporary artists are experimenting with technology to contend with flawed and fragmented archives. Danielle Deadwyler, Shane Dedman, Adam Forrester, and Artemus Jenkins are Atlanta-based artists who embrace the flaws and gather the fragments to create works of art that tell personal and communal histories in innovative and intuitive ways. Each artist tends to their own interdisciplinary repositories of ephemera — documents, film, and audio— that they then redact, manipulate, and fabricate to uncover the truths that lack material evidence.
