Look At Them Look At Us
Orange Barrel Media, the largest operator of outdoor signage in the Atlanta Arts & Entertainment District, and internationally recognized artist Genevieve Gaignard transformed the north façade of the utilitarian parking garage at 79 Marietta St NW into a dynamic public art destination. The artist’s public installation in Atlanta is a new reworking from her 2020 series, Look At Them Look At Us. The series invited viewers to look within and reconsider preconceived notions of race through diverse pieces which included photography, sculpture, and mixed-media works. This work exhibits Gaignard’s distinctive aesthetic, which blends glamour and camp and resonates with the exaggerated visuals of the social media age.
Genevieve Gaignard is a Los Angeles and Massachusetts based multidisciplinary artist whose work focuses on installation, sculpture, collage, and photographic self-portraiture to explore race, class, and femininity.
