Summaries

Summary Sentence: Ruth Dusseault Photography Exhibition

Full Summary: Exhibition of photography work by College of Architecture Artist-in-Residence Ruth Dusseault. Through July 2 at Hagedorn Foundation Gallery.

Like self-taught architects, battle game entrepreneurs salvage materials from rural ruins and suburban construction sites to transform scruff into play fields. Representations include castles, trenches, gang houses, wild-west towns, deserts, army hospitals, tanks and villages for house-to-house combat. Each field and it's game is an idiosyncratic fantasy of war.

This program is supported in part by the City of Atlanta Office of Cultural Affairs.
