Having just finished a slue of shows, complex emerging curator Kendrick Daye, has been maximizing his time with the WM Turner Gallery space. Mr. Daye has pumped out and produced four super charged exhibitions this month, and no other gallery shows are as exciting as the collaborative efforts he gathers here.

Extraordinary Machine Two is a follow up from last summers wildly successful exhibition which again hosts the multi-talented art duo Corinne Stevie and some of Kendrick’s personal photo and collage works. The show will feature an installation piece by Corinne, along with a collection of her newer creations.

Her rainbow saturated palette is as tartly smart as her lively painted figures. Corinne has an acute sense for composing lavish patterns playfully and her radiant line work is exotic and extravagant.

Kendrick’s collages are smart and sensitive; his sharp shapes call to mind Jacob Lawrence’s bold paintings. The mixed media portraits feature Mr. Daye himself and close friends and local musicians. As Kendrick is an artist and an entertainer, he has arranged for a whole mob of musicians to perform live during the reception. Along with the work and performances a variety of handmade goods, accessories, CDs, literature and a delicious artist sunglasses collection will be available for sale.

If you missed this month’s successful Super Pop! show or the FUNKshion fashion night, finish up your summer with this fantastic event, free to the public and affordable for art collectors. On Aug 26th from 7-10pm visit WM Turner Gallery at 112 Krog St NE, for a gathering of Atlanta’s finest artist and performers.
