Experience a world where ancient myth, contemporary art and altered states of perception converge.
This collection of new and existing works by Atlanta-based artist Craig Dongoski blurs the boundary between creator and creation, weaving together Greek antiquity with the coded languages of our digital age. Through a hypnotic process built on the rhythmic repetition of dots, dashes and circles, Dongoski's works function like portals: alive with visual static, symbolism and subconscious revelation.
In this immersive exhibition, archaic forms converse with Morse and binary code, myth meets modernity, and viewers are encouraged to follow their own intuitive pathways. Waking the Statues is ultimately a meditation on transformation – how artists and perception shape the world, and how ancient stories endure.
Open daily from 12 December 2025, included with general admission.

About the artist
Craig Dongoski is a Full Professor at Georgia State University in Atlanta, USA, whose career-long practice explores mark-making (both graphic and aural) as a fundamental mode of human expression. Through his experimental approach to drawing and sound, Dongoski seeks to contribute to the broader art-historical dialogue surrounding the origins of creativity and communication.
Since 2011, he has produced new work annually on the Greek island of Kefalonia, and his practice increasingly bridges art, language and cross-species communication. His recent solo exhibition, The Primates Notebook, extended these investigations through drawing-sound collaborations with chimpanzees at the Language Research Centre in Atlanta.
Dongoski has presented internationally, including as an Invited Lecturer at Dolphinity: International Symposium on Dolphin Consciousness (Dolphin Embassy, Tenerife) and at CAIROTRONICA: International Symposium on Electronic Arts (Palace of the Arts, Cairo, in cooperation with the Planetary Collegium).
His work has been featured in exhibitions such as Timeless Fragments in Brindisi, Italy; The Pulled Edition at Tong-In Gallery in Seoul; and GATHERED at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia. He has twice been nominated for a Ford/Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship in New Media and has released recordings with Hydra Head Records and Aucourant Records. In 2015, he collaborated with filmmaker Larry Clark on Drawing Through, a limited-edition improvisational LP.
Dongoski is represented by WhiteSpace Gallery (Atlanta) and James Gallery (Pittsburgh).
