Fonder’s newest video installation, Non Sequitur, meditates on cycles of ideas, life, and physical materials. In it, she explores entropy, the cyclical patterns of nature as well as the messiness of a lark, or unexpected turn. The term ‘non sequitur’ translates from Latin to mean “it does not follow.” Embracing this ethos, this installation reflects fractured roving thoughts and mirrors the futile effort to ‘keep it together’. Through the animated duplication of her sculptural works, she invites viewers to reflect on how the sausage is made--within her work and beyond. 

Cedric Smith paints the portraits that were never painted at the time. He is not reimagining history, but reinscribing an erasure. The deep reservoirs of knowledge and skill required for equine work are still rarely attributed to the folks who built the equine industry that underpinned all of western civilization. First, our ability to travel, to explore, and to accumulate wealth, and then the privileged thrill of a leisure class that creates games for the sake of furthering status– both required the expertise and effort of African Americans.

Curated by Micah Mermilliod in partnership with The Do Good Fund for ACAC in the fall of 2024, this exhibition is on view at the University of Alabama Gallery in Tuscaloosa. Through the lenses of 8 photographers, history and modernity intersect, and the ordinary becomes extraordinary. While not always traditionally beautiful, the allure, honesty, and unpredictability found in these everyday moments resonates like jazz through humid Southern air.

This exhibition of work by Southern artist Vitus Shell depicts Black youth from Dothan and the surrounding areas, as well as others throughout the Deep South to illustrate the aspirational goals of youths and how hip-hop culture can subvert cultural norms. Shell emphasizes joy and pride within his work, embracing the notion that existence is resistance.

Artists Angel Fernandez & Winter Rusiloski make work that directly responds to and engages with the landscape around them. Seeing place as a site of narrative power, politics, and identity; they document time, conditions and movement; Winter through alternative painting practices and Angel through sculpture and performance.

We're back in the regular Artwalk rotation starting January strong with a pop-up exhibition featuring Mobile's own, Kandon Kyser. Kyser will take over AC Satellite at 561 Saint Francis Street in the second week of January with Diaries of a Workaholic, a multidisciplinary installation that is as prolific as it sounds.

This exhibition grows from a body of work by Abe Partridge, recounting his time in the religious communities of rural Appalachia. It is the culmination of a 2.5 year process that models ways art and other forms of cultural production can expand meaning across religious, cultural and geographic divides. Originated in 2022 by Alabama Contemporary, With Sign Following is on at Kentuck at Queen City in March 2026.

In this brand new body of work, Tony Rodrigues tackles the growing housing crisis with paintings full of crushed marble that rupture and disrupt idealized subject-matter of a world in the wrong kind of excess. Through depicting a fictional “neighborhood”, Rodrigues explores not only what we desire from our lived spaces, but the dilapidation, entropy and rot that riddle a broken system.
