As for art in San Antonio this coming weekend, it is photography that will be featured at most of the galleries around Blue Star in keeping with the annual "Photo Septiembre" tradition. REM Gallery (located in the Blue Star complex) will be showing the work of UTSA professor Ron Binks. The opening reception to Bink's "The Third man in Vienna" will be on Thursday Sept. 6 from 6 -9PM. First Friday hours are from 6 - 9PM as well.
Unit B will have a closing reception for "The Yellow Wallpaper" featuring the work of artists Karren Mahaffy and Erin Curtis (see Unit B link on side bar for more details).
UTSA Satellite Space will host a group show curated by San Antonio sculptor Brian Jobe entitled "A Quiet." Opening reception is on Thursday Sept 6 from 6 - 9PM and First Friday 6 - 9PM. See info below for details on the artists involved and the concept behind the show:
J.R. Bruce (St. Petersburg, FL) Nate Cassie (San Antonio, TX)
Alex Lopez (Carbondale, IL) Karen Mahaffy (San Antonio, TX)
Sarah Moore (San Antonio, TX) Denny Renshaw (Brooklyn, NY)
Curated by Brian Jobe
The theme "A Quiet" was selected to feature art that contemplates the
subtle variations that give character and vitality to life. J.R. Bruce
constructs corridors of hanging plexi-glass panels to create an "Army
of Braille," inviting participants to investigate its complex tactile
nature. Nate Cassie cultivates a delicate landscape of ceramic beehive
forms, evoking a contemplation of chance within natural events. Alex
Lopez's video installation portrays a bird in flight with simple,
haunting silhouettes, reminiscent of Rorschach tests. Karen Mahaffy's
intimate video installation mixes elements of shadow play, wallpaper
designs, and household objects to uncover a sense of order and depth
within pattern. Sarah Moore commands one of the gallery's smaller
rooms with an installation that focuses on repetition as a gesture to
highlight slight variations. Denny Renshaw offers five close-up photo
portraits of different human faces, which reveal the moments amid
speech and silence.
There are plenty of other exhibits going on this week in both Austin and San Antonio that are not mentioned here. For more possible selections see the Glasstire link in the sidebar and click on the appropriate links to Austin and San Antonio.
