New Art in Austin: 15 to Watch at Austin Museum of Art
Installation views. Spring 2011.
Curated by
Andrea Mellard, Interim Curator, Austin Museum of Art
Toby Kamps, Curator, Museum of Contemporary Art Houston
Kate Bonansinga, Gallery Director of the Rubin Center, El Paso
From the exhibition catalog:
“The objects speak of the ethical challenges of new science and of the subtle altering of information to the point that the original truth is lost. They question the location and validity of the line between the highbrow and the lowbrow. They emphasize the power of sentiment and suggest that when we fall prey to nostalgia and all seems perfect, there is probably something amiss. “
– Kate Bonansinga, Gallery Director of the Rubin Center for the Visual Arts, University of Texas, El Paso, co-curator of New Art in Austin, 2011.
