They Come From Beyond

Dallas arrives tonight at WTW
Chicago by way of San Antonio will be here Saturday
Houston has already been in our midst, but they will emerge for all to see in three weeks
I’ll tell you ’bout what I sees.

Onward, Through & Through

If you didn’t like my backward whinin’ then maybe these forward facing artists/writers will be more to your liking.
I know I’m an Art snob. Art can borrow from all sectors; fashion, design, music, dance, illustration, etc., etc. and vice versa. But there’s something when work looks more commercial than academic that makes me [...]

At Least I’m Up

But I can’t really say I’m awake.
First, some post-EAST thoughts. My planned run-through was cut short by delays at the car rental. With only an hour to spare (and that was pushing it), I only visited Bol.. I mean, Big Medium, SolArt and Okay Mountain Studios (I’m uploading photos to Flickr tonight).
Thanks to [...]

Hitchhikin’

I have two requests:
1) I wanna go to Houston to listen to Roberta Smith. But it would be nice if I could share the $3/gallon burden ’cause I’m already droppin’ chips to get the limo ready for a Dallas trip.
2) Can someone please send me to Kansas City? It’s like painters’ delight up [...]

Nohegan In No Time

I am Salvador. I am the brains of this operation! Jaime does nothing but draw all day! He couldn’t write a sentence to save his life! He is the Lennie to my George. Hmmph!
Ehn-nee-wayz.
Nohegan starts in two days for the art campers. Its cool to see Lizzy Wetzel, Jenny Schlief, [...]

Yo Yo Yo Yo!

Its the episode where I’m back from Dallas. Yo!
The symposium went well. Nothing too surprising was said, but it wasn’t as superficial/ignorant as the Glasstire messageboards suggested it would be. They (as in Dallas) have money and support for their institutions, but maybe need to work on cultivating their frontline community, ie. artists. But [...]

All Systems Go!

tchk. Houston, I have green lights coming at me from all systems. tchk.  We are go.  I repeat, Dallas trip is, a go. tchk.
Does this mean Austin is big time?
Boozefox should be accessible anytime the Blue Theater is open for Fusebox.  So check it out.
Cine Las Americas 2007 has begun.
Looks like it will be a [...]

South Austin Harem Goes To Dallas

So I went to Dallas this past weekend and managed to check out three galleries while there.
Marty Walker Gallery – Contemporary Asian art looks much like contemporary art elsewhere. They look good, they just throw a big ole question mark on worldwide art practices/studies.
Conduit Gallery – Four shows in one: Kirk Hayes, Al Souza, Carrie [...]

I Sees & I Saws Austin

In Houston, Rebecca Ward.
I forgot to mention Jonathan Marshall and Eric Zimmerman in Dallas earlier this year. sorry
UPDATE: Margaret Meehan was also in that show.  double sorry
Also, I sees Austin around the web. After first meeting William Hundley’s work at Okay Mountain, he pops up on Ruby mag (#10), then vvork.com, particpates in the [...]

1, 2, 3s, Its Austin I Sees

My scheduled content for tonight isn’t quite ready.  So let me offer some traveling suggestions.
In San Antonio I sees Hector Hernandez.  Pimp yo’ work? Woah-ho! C’mon now, I is a legitimate bidnessman. You tryin’ get me in trouble with the law?
In the Dallas area I sees Candace Briceno.
Besame Mucho, Besa Mi Culo featuring the work [...]
