Nohegan ‘08 Deadline

I know I’ve been out of it and haven’t posted as regularly as I should (especially with all of these random thoughts bouncing around in my head). But I wanted to remind everyone that if you plan on attending Nohegan this year then your fees are due today.
If the website and flickr sets are [...]

October 2007 SeeSawS – Wks 1 & 2

Art Matters Austin – Art Alliance Austin
Unconventional works from members of Open Doors Collective, traditional painting and photography, then some video and prints. It was a good roundup, but the space is essentially a hallway. Should I really give it the consideration I give galleries? NOT BAD
Patterns of Peru and Texas – [...]

September 2007 SeeSawS – Wks 1 & 2

Lasers In The Jungle – Art Palace
Wrote a capsule for Glasstire. Because of private matters, I was allowed to turn it in late, so it wasn’t up very long. This is what it said:
Somebody made sure Eric Gibbons and Nathan Green were ready for the start of the new school year. Their bundle [...]

August 2007 SeeSawS – Wks 3 & 4

Women Printmakers of Austin – University of Phoenix at Austin
Got out of work very late for the opening. Never made it out.
Road Trip – Gallery Shoal Creek
Never saw it.
Shannon Soule Photographs – Austin Figurative Gallery
Didn’t see.
Facing East: 48 Hours In The Life Of East Austin – New East Arts Gallery
Wow. Where was I. Slackin’ [...]

August 2007 SeeSawS – Wks 1 & 2

Radical Nautical – Gallery Lombardi
Wowzers. There was a lot of people. It was a fun show and was glad to see the variety of work. The only thing I could possibly complain ’bout is that it was illustrator/designer heavy. But then again, where else will I see that work? GOOD
Suddenly [...]

July 2007 SeeSawS – Wks 2 & 3

“Untitled” Group Drawing Show – Else Madsen
I remember sneaking in before the opening. I do remember leaving apathetic. I don’t remember the works, though.
Re-Imagining the Nude – New East Gallery
There was nudity. Mostly nipples in the usual designy photography. BAD
Aldo Valdes Bohm: New Works – Art Palace
Very fine woodworking. Artisanal. [...]

May 2007 SeeSaws – Wks 1 & 2

Shaping Conciousness – DiverseArts
Shame, shame, shame on me.
memoria/memoir – Volitant Gallery
I didn’t catch this until the Miguelez show. I don’t think it worked for me. I didn’t bother contributing to the computer set up and opted to watch some of the video. To be fair, I didn’t really engage it. But [...]

Apr 2007 SeeSaws – Wks 1 & 2

Senior Art Exhibit – SEU Fine Arts Gallery
Didn’t make this one. So close, yet so far.

Yellow Labyrinth – WTW
Labyrinth is a misnomer. There was no confusion or complication. Its like a piazza, very open. The multitude of doorways may have suggested a variety of choices, but since the space is not expansive [...]

Mar 2007 SeeSaws – Wk 5

Object/ Type/ Transform – Gallery 3 at the COOP
It was a design show. I wasn’t blown away, as most of the work felt like assignments. But there was play evident. NOT BAD?
Austin Green Art: Keep Austin Beautiful, Clean Sweep 2007 – Waterloo Park
I found out about it a day later. I realized [...]
