George Long & Mario Schambon | Recent Works, a two man exhibition featuring new work from Atlanta-based artists. George Long and Mario Schambon: artists, friends, collaborators, wearers of hats, eaters of glazed hot doughnuts. They even share a birthday. Now: Don’t stop scratching your head. Long and Schambon have always had a connection between their artwork, sharing a similar visual vernacular and approach to the creative process. TEMPUS PROJECTS brings these two together for an exhibit of installation work that centers on personal narratives. “The work we make is often very personal, laced with references to gluttony, vice sex…the good life!” Says Schambon.
