DESCRIPTION:This exhibit brings together contemporary artists who explore
  the mandala form as artistic expression and as a tool for transformatio
 n and balance in our complex world. &nbsp\;This exploration takes many f
 orms: from redrafting traditional visual depictions to the use of new ma
 terials\, to the performance body participating in the mandala form. &nb
 sp\;The exhibit is&nbsp\;lanned in consultation with Jacquelynn Baas\, a
 uthor of &ldquo\;Smile of the Buddha: Eastern Philosophy and Western Art
  from Monet to Today.&rdquo\;\nA mandala by New York artist and Morehous
 e College alumnus&nbsp\;Sanford Biggers&nbsp\;forms the centerpiece of t
 he gallery\, providing a dynamic space for music and dance. &nbsp\;Surro
 unding this performance space are the works of artists Don Cooper\, Fait
 h McClure\, Christopher McNulty\, Andra Samelson\, King Thackston\, and 
 Marcia Vaitsman. From transcendent abstracts to repetitive patterns\, th
 e multimedia works by these artists use the mandala and its residual pow
 er to address today&rsquo\;s physical\, cultural\, environmental\, and c
 osmological issues.\nCoinciding with this exhibition are two other major
  Atlanta exhibits which focus on the mandala. &nbsp\;Emory&rsquo\;s Mich
 ael C. Carlos Museum presents &ldquo\;Mandala: Sacred Circle in Tibetan 
 Buddhism\,&rdquo\; Jan. 21-April 15\, with over 100 objects that explore
  the various manifestations of Tibetan mandalas. &nbsp\;And\, beginning 
 Feb. 5\, Oglethorpe University Museum of Art will exhibit original manda
 las created by Carl Jung&rsquo\;s patients during the course of their tr
 eatment between 1926 and 1945. &nbsp\;Together\, the three simultaneous 
 exhibitions will provide a comprehensive view of the mandala symbol\, an
 d its ongoing use in religious\, artistic and cultural practices.
