Stupid Is As Stupid Does

As the Blanton’s latest artist in residence prepared to head back home, Diego Perez Garcia gave an artist’s talk about his work and his current collaboration with Flatbed Press last week. He admitted his reluctance to work with such a different medium. And although he stated his dislike for printing in a later [...]

Wake Me Up Before You Go Go

Submission form is live!
Group show deadline has been extended to June 30th.
But the deadline for Temporary Outdoor Projects remains at May 31st due to AIPP/ City of Austin calendar issues.
I’ll tell you ’bout what I sees.
UPDATE: The man, Hunter Cross, deals in the transmission of zeros and ones, so follow his warning and make [...]

You cannot do a kindness too soon, …

“You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson
Um, so I’m gonna be a jerk here and point something out.  The 16th came and went, as did the 18th.  We’re 9 days past and still have yet to see the entry forms.
Since [...]

Mar 2007 SeeSaws – Wk 1

Take Two – Gallery 3 at the CO-OP
At first glance Christa Mares and Matt Rebholz are an odd pairing. But, both artists have a strong physicality in each of their mediums. The playfulness of material and subtle narratives give the work an almost fairytale/ fable perspective. GOOD maybe even GREAT
TEXAS BIENNIAL [...]

Texas Biennial 2007 – DAC

You may have read some of my opinions in the Chronicle lately. You may also have noticed, I got together with my “co-workers” to discuss the Texas Biennial. With the first installment out and the second and third coming out today, I decided to whet your appetite with a small fraction of my [...]

April, I’m a Fool All Year Round

April calendar is up.
March calendar had to be updated yet again.
We’ve got some closings and performances, making it pretty busy this weekend.
Check out Austin Green Art. Apparently I’ve already missed some of their events this year, but there’s still plenty more with Earth Day coming up.
Sorry I’m so late on this: Craft Congress [...]

Click. Click. Click. Boom.

Will wonders never cease?
My hard drive went bye-bye. Of course I decided to write directly to the computer as opposed to my blog-saving habit. And no backup! when will I learn?
Updated March calendar again.
Thursday looks like a UT night. Viewpoint then Gallery 3. But there is also a New Urbanism discussion [...]

No One To Blame

But  myself  : [
Updated the March calendar.
There are some shows I missed, but the Chronicle reminded me of them.
I forgot to post this on the calendar, even though I knew about before it opened.  So I’ll include it here.  The LBJ Wildflower Center with Randy Jewart present Where The Wild Things Are.
I haven’t received official [...]

Driving home between the Gallery 3 opening and the DAC/ TxBiennial opening I saw the remains of the Intel building.
With the sunset hitting it just right, I thought of Virginia Yount’s paintings. Ms.Yount, if its [...]
