The Marietta Cobb Museum of Art will host two new exhibits, and both start on April 6.
The museum is located at 30 Atlanta Street SE Marietta, GA 30060.
Initial Object by Lucy Luckovich will run from April 6 until June 16, 2024.
The event announcement on the City of Marietta website describes this exhibit as follows:
Lucy Luckovich, an Atlanta-based artist, presents a series of paintings that allude to the concept of watching “in order to explore how female objectification has been impacted by the ongoing Digital Age.” Her work confronts the intertwining and duplicitous concepts of womanhood, consumption, and technology. Luckovich’s paintings are traditional in technique, but function within a greater conversation that is situated inside our current Digital Age. Using cherries, chains, and pearls to partially obstruct the backgrounds reinforces that each subject is presented as just an object—not a girl or a body, but the artist’s concept of an “Initial Object.”
There will be an opening reception on Saturday, April 6 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. The reception is free for MCMA members and $10 for guests—admission is paid upon entry. Cash bar and hors d’oeuvres will be served. Membership can be purchased at the event.
Lucy Luckovich will present a free Artist Talk on Sunday, May 19 at 2:00 p.m.
