Body Watching, Atlanta, 2008 by Michael David Murphy

Attention, Southern art-goers! Michael David Murphy has an exhibition, titled Certainty Principle on right now at the Spruill Gallery in Atlanta. The show features photographs, as well as an installation from Michael's ongoing series, Unphotographable—his catalog of never-taken photographs: regretfully missed opportunities, memorialized in words.

Certainty Principle has been getting some fantastic press; Jason Francisco for ArtsCriticATL.com writes:

Taking on the guise of an everyman with a camera who appears anywhere and everywhere without explanation, Murphy approaches the commonplace as a field of random connections, or more strictly, random connections that seem ineluctable once made. Murphy is a conceptualist alternately chasing and being chased by his own observational acuity, an artist for whom clear-sightedness is enigmatic. He is deeply concerned with photography as a power to heed.

If you're in or around Atlanta this month, stop by Spruill Gallery and take in Michael's show (it's up until October 30th!) If not, you can have a look at images and installation views from Certainty Principle (and even a video of Michael giving a talk about his work at the opening reception) on the show's Tumblr page.
