November 2007 SeeSawS – Wks 1 & 2

War-Artists Respond – DAC
Its not that I think artists should shut up with the crying and decrying over the war, I just get tired of the incessant rhetoric. That and I like art to be more subtle in order to work my thoughts into the appropriate contemplation. There was some good work present, [...]

September 2007 SeeSawS – Wks 3 & 4

Surprise Me – Gallery Lombardi
Not the usual fair for the gallery. Half of the work was very colorful. I looked at those longer. NOT BAD
Embracing Chaos: YLA12 – MACC/ Mexic-Arte
I was disappointed. Not by the art. I mean, look at where the artists’ banners where placed at Mexic-Arte. Surely I’m [...]

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 – Wk 1

Awakening the Soul – La Pena
Paintings were looking interesting. Very dramatic image-making. Would’ve rather seen them in the gallery instead of the restaurant. BAD
Made at Flatbed – Flatbed Press
I don’t think I made this
Marfa/Puerto Viejo – Workspace
This did not put me in the right place. BAD
Taking Life Seriously – Bolm Studios
There [...]

Westwood and Other Recent Work – Flatbed Press
I don’t think I caught this one?
New Work – Wally Workman Gallery
Didn’t make it.
Sacred Spaces – IDEA
Tried, but never made it out.
Writesy Drawsey – Art Palace Gallery
The installation was spot on. The scribbles were nice, the contours were fun, but the jump to the finished color [...]

Poking Lenny with Turkey

I had me a great Wednesday before Thanksgiving. School is becoming lax wit’ the holidays and gave the kids the day off. I called it “Museum-Field Trip-Day” and took off of work myself. At 9 AM we jumped on the bus and headed downtown and into UT campus. We started off [...]

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 2

Measured Strokes-Spontaneous Beasts – Fine Arts Gallery, Sarofim School of Fine Arts, Southwestern University
I wanted to see this. I couldn’t make it up the I35 parking lot, though.
In My Stairwell – Fielding Lecht
This was a SXSW publicity stunt. The gallery claims to show Vietnamese art, but here an American photographer is exhibited. [...]

Dec SeeSaws – Wk 1, Wk 2 & Wk 3

DISCLAIMER: My senses are off this time of year. If I had to choose, I’d say I side with the Green Team of Christmas (Grinch, Scrooge, Mouse King) as opposed to the Red Team (Santa, Frosty, Rudolph). Take that as you will.
hush, hush – Arthouse
missed this
Cognition – Shady Tree Studios
missed this
Guera 11 Algo Dorado – [...]

L.L.S.P. – Gallery 3
This show was tricky. I had a hard time trying to [...]
