Two of the artists whose work is on display at Lyndon House Arts Center this summer are coming together for a discussion on their exhibitions, ideas and processes. Irina Rozovsky, a Russian-born, Athens-based photographer, is the creator behind “Traditions Highway,” a series of photos taken between 2017–2021 along Georgia State Route 15. The collection reflects on life in the rural South and how those experiences are tied to its history. It is enhanced by paintings Rozovsky collected from small shops during her travels and a text piece that combines road sign verbiage she encountered along the way. Steven L. Anderson is an Atlanta-based artist whose exhibition, “Entropy Plan for the Western Fam,” is a collection of video, painting and paper artworks that reference artist Joseph Beuys’ 1974 lecture tour, which focused on the ecological and spiritual problems of the time. Anderson’s works address how these issues still affect society.
