The Art of Jeremy Ayers

Jeremy Ayers was an inspirational participant in the Athens art community for over four decades. Under the pseudonym of Silva Thin, Jeremy (then known as Jerry) was active in the Warhol Factory scene in the 1970s. After returning to his native town of Athens, where Ayers’ band Limbo District introduced an eccentric sound and vision, he traveled frequently between Athens and New York, particularly during the height of the OCCUPY movement which he documented with photography. This exhibit includes a selection of his paintings, drawings, photographs, and books.  A video by Michael Stipe titled “Jeremy Dance” and an essay by Astra Taylor are included in the exhibition.
