Watkins guest curator Patrick DeGuira has pinned his first show in the Brownlee O. Currey Jr. Gallery to the notion of the end of the world, but we're hoping the Apocalypse will hold off long enough for us to see a few more of his exhibits come together. You know, before the near-earth asteroid crashes into the nuclear war during the last judgment. Assembling a who's who roster of local creators and out-of-towners, Aftermath boasts a deep bench, including filmmakers Harmony Korine and Brent Stewart, photographer/painter Chris Scarborough, artist/musician Angela Messina and Lambchop frontman Kurt Wagner, whose portrait of Louis Farrakhan is one of the show's highlights. Eugene, Ore.-based artist Rob Smith's recent photos utilize Plexiglas mirrors and colored lights in organic settings, turning simple, floral photographs into something more supernatural than natural.
