The Church Of The Living Room

One of my favorite blogs,  the Southernist did an article earlier this year about Sister Louisa and the Church of the Living Room called Home is Where the Art Is.

My friend Anne  brings all things southern into world up in NYC.

This is a fun website/blog to save and check into on a daily basis to see what she values at fabulous in the Southern United States.

Excerpted from Bare And Bitter Sleep 04.08.08

louisa-showSister Louisa came to the rescue a few doors down. Sister Louisa is Grant Henry, and his/her irreverent glosses on thrift store finds and cheap-y paint-by-number pictures came in as a breath of fresh air. They were direct, simple, unpretentious, and hilarious. Still, the underlying paintings are inescapably earnest, painfully earnest, and that made the jarring distortions of the overlaid painted phrases somehow weirdly moving. Maybe they were too easy. I didn’t care; after Krause, I was just thankful that they didn’t seem cynically calculated to be featured in a 4-page feature on interior design in The Atlantan. The work was priced to go and the party atmosphere made a person want to hang out for a while. (right, some dude with work by Sister Louisa).

Grant is looking for Jesus on eBay, which is new. Normally he looks for Jesus in Dumpsters, or under musty piles of old clothes at junk stores. Once he found a fabulous Jesus at a parking-lot flea market just south of Saudi Daisy, with the forehead all bleeding from the pointy brambles and everything. Sometimes Grant doesn’t have to look at all. Sometimes people see all kinds of Jesus . . . Read More

Say hallelujah, brothers and sisters. Salvation is coming your way. SISTER LOUISA may have been stripped of her habit and rosary, but her heart still beats for Jesus. THE THIRD COMING, a show of new religious works by the defrocked nun (aka the beehived bartender Grant Henry), opens APRIL 2 at Radial Cafe. Festivities include a musical performance by Kingsized (Gusto Show), and Hollis Gillespie will be on hand to sign copies of her book Bleachy-Haired Honky Bitch: Tales from a Bad Neighborhood. The exhibition continues through April. 8-10 p.m. 2004 Free. Radial Cafe, 1530 DeKalb Ave. 404-659-6594.– Suzanne Van Atten
