Charles Nelson's Meditations on Race, Identity and Public Spacenew
Atlanta-based artist Charles Nelson is like some great below-the-radar indie band: beloved by a few, unknown to many.
Part of the reason he's below the radar, and also why his work feels like such a shot of adrenaline on the Atlanta art scene, is because Nelson is not in the business of pleasing anyone.

Don't Panic: What's Gonna Happen When Yasser Arafat Dies?new
Other than decomposing, the first process that Arafat's death will initiate is the one to succeed him. Arafat's is a mighty big towel to fill. So big, in fact, that his underlings have decided to get a head start by jockeying for good positions already.

Don't Panic: The Status of the International Coalition Working in Iraqnew
