Just announced: Hailing from New Orleans, Twisted Teens bring their “dusty punk” to Atlanta for an essential night at eyedrum art & music gallery. Tickets on sale at eyedrum.org

Arguably the breakout band of Goner Fest 2025, the group is led by Caspian Hollywell (Blackbird Raum) and propelled by the unmistakable pedal steel of Ramon “The Razor” Santos. Their sound, a collision of Raw Power era Stooges and fuzzed out garage riffs, is a true “punk conduction” that feels both like a lost American tradition and a rowdy step forward.

Please join us at EYEDRUM Gallery on March 8 from 2–5 PM for the Artist Talk of UNSETTLED by Adéwálé Adénlé.

Experience a powerful body of three dimensional paintings and installations that interrogate socio political (in)stability through materially fractured pictorial space.

Working across layered surfaces, the exhibition resists the illusion of a singular, authoritative image. Instead, each work becomes a site of tension between front and back, visibility and concealment, power and its refusal.

Piped holes violently rupture the pictorial plane, breaking the logic of surface coherence that has long underpinned both painting and political representation. These intrusions function not as voids, but as conduits, opening passages to alternative realities embedded behind the image.

Through them, the viewer is invited to peer, reach, and reckon with what lies beyond sanctioned narratives. The act of looking becomes spatial, embodied, and ethically charged.

The exhibition draws from lived experiences shaped by the economies of oil, histories of extraction, dis/relocation, and the uneven circulation of resources between Nigeria, the artist’s country of birth, and the United States, his adopted home.

These layered geographies are not presented as binaries, but as overlapping conditions of dependency, displacement, and endurance.

By destabilizing frontality and privileging access through rupture, UNSETTLED challenges capitalist and political norms that rely on closure, containment, and surface legibility.

The works insist that meaning, like justice, often resides elsewhere, behind, beneath, and beyond what is immediately given.

Come spend the afternoon with us and hear directly from the artist about this compelling exhibition.
