Experience the triumphant homecoming exhibition of Atlanta native Tyler Mitchell (born 1995), Tyler Mitchell: Idyllic Space. Mitchell ascended to global prominence after photographing Beyoncé for Vogue’s September 2018 issue, the first Black artist to shoot the cover in the magazine’s history. His work seamlessly blends fine art and fashion photography and will be presented along with a new photo-sculptural artwork made for the exhibition.
Members see it first and free! On Thursday, June 20, discover this new exhibition before it opens to the public. Organized by the High, Idyllic Space examines themes such as masculinity, motherhood, domesticity, play, rest, and the natural world. The playfully theatrical, expressive works explore style, beauty, and identity and delve into the profound themes of family and connection, capturing not just moments but the essence of relationships, weaving a narrative of love, intimacy, and shared experiences.
Preregistration is required. Please enter the exhibition at your designated time to prevent overcrowding in the galleries.
