OVERVIEW

​In this episode of Sidewalk Radio, Host Gene Kansas talks art, advertising, and the power of imagery with renowned artist, Gregor Turk. A lover of nature, Turk does not much care for billboard advertising. However, with his latest work, Apparitions: Look Away, he celebrates it, utilizing the medium to both transfix and transform our conversations. 

The final stance in a 3-part series, black and white photographic images of General Sherman’s eyes glare out from their poster-boarded vantage points above the Atlanta BeltLine, enticing sentiments from agony to amusement, inciting actions from table talk to rock throwing. A provoking artist, Turk makes us think about what we see…and in this case, what sees us. 

This Atlanta Celebrates Photography commissioned public art installation is certainly a sight to behold. On view through November 15th. Take a listen, then go take a look.
