Update: Extended till 1/22/10
It’s hard to believe, but Contemporary Art Month is coming soon! The month-long contemporary art extravaganza is moving to March in 2010, which means it’s only three months away. We need your help to make sure all facets of San Antonio’s contemporary art community are represented. Because of the holidays, we are opening the calendar submission system a little early this year. Starting today, you can enter your exhibits, performances, and educational events on our website for inclusion in the 2010 CAM calendar. If you want to have your events listed in the print calendar in the San Antonio Current, be sure to have them in by January 15.
We’ve made a few changes since July. One of the biggest is that we are now accepting a new listing type: open studios. The CAM open studio day is Sunday, March 7, and any artist with a studio of some kind is encouraged to participate. There is no fee for this type of CAM listing.
We have also enabled image uploading capabilities for all listing types (not just exhibits), and you will be notified by email when your listings have been approved, instead of having to login to check your listings page. Finally, a map will be generated automatically for every venue and open studio listing.
If you submitted events in July, you already have an account. If you don’t have your password, you have two options. You can either dig up the email we sent you with your login information, or reset your password. The email should have a subject heading that reads “Account details for [your username] at Contemporary Art Month.” You can reset your password by visiting this page and entering your email address (or your username, if you remember it). If all else fails, please contact us and we can manually reset your password and/or update your email address.
As always, thank you for your continued support of CAM and San Antonio’s vibrant art community.

Backstage at the McNay
Britt Lorraine: We Are a Handful
Staircase, Stieren Center for Exhibitions
Thursday, January 14, 6:30 pm
Reception in the Learning Center at 6 pm
Conversation with the artist at 7:15 pm
In an original work created for Backstage at the McNay, choreographer Britt Lorraine responds to architect Jean-Paul Viguier’s design for the Stieren Center for Exhibitions. Incorporating objects by sculptor Kristy Perez (on view through January 24), We Are a Handful exemplifies Lorraine’s approach to dance:
Moving my body in a controlled space… is the only way that I know how to get to my most authentic place so that I may communicate to the viewer. I am specifically interested in the dualism between mundane activity and classic lore. In acknowledging female archetypes…I assert my creations from an honest, truthful impulse and know that tragedies and ecstasies of old are reborn new and now.
Britt Lorraine is director of Saint Lorraine Dance Company based in San Antonio, where she has taught at St. Philip’s College and the University of the Incarnate Word. Lorraine earned her MFA at the University of Iowa and her BFA from Southern Methodist University. She has also studied and performed with the Martha Graham Dance Company. She received the 2009 Artist Foundation of San Antonio award to remake the Ballets Russes’ The Rite of Spring.
Backstage at the McNay is a bi-monthly program of the McNay Theatre Group, which supports the Tobin Collection of Theatre arts and connects it to the world of live theatre in San Antonio and beyond. For more information, please phone 210 805-1720.

Using her baroque drawing sensibility, love of audience intersection and interest in other people’s truly mysterious nature, Katie has used Sala Diaz to make a diagram of what has confounded her for some time.
The artist has lived in San Antonio since 1995. Her projects encompass a broad range of formats, media, and scale; but often address the universal, while confounding what is real from what is implied. She uses humor and metaphor to confront her own struggles with racism, elitism, and the hopelessness of nature vs. nurture, while trying to be good.
Quoting Katie: “Sala Diaz is an obvious but surprisingly rare phenomena, a house reserved solely for the display of art, run by an artist and humble enough to try just about anything. The enduring popularity and usefulness of S.D is living proof that life is easy.”
Sala Diaz is a 501 (C)(3) non-profit space supporting the San Antonio community with exhibitions of local, national and international artists and is located at 517 Stieren, near the intersection of South Alamo and South Saint Mary’s Street in the heart of the Restaurant Supply District. Open weekly, Thursday – Saturday from 2 – 6 PM. Sala Diaz is sponsored by Fluent Collaborative, The Smothers Foundation, The Buddy Taub Foundation, Liberty Bar, The National Endowment For The Arts and numerous private individuals.

Our first family adventure for the New Year takes us to the Southwest School of Art & Craft’s Navarro Campus. Join us for Hands on Paper, on Saturday, January 9 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., as we explore the artistic use of paper.
TPR members and their families are invited to view “Engaged and Fragmented,” a series of exhibitions that features contemporary art showcasing the sacrifices of our soldiers using paper as a medium.
Also on exhibition is “The Art of Pulp Painting,” which features works from seventeen leading artists who use paper pulp to “paint” their works on handmade paper.
A snack lunch will be served by Crumpet’s Restaurant and Bakery.
Made from the sinuous fibers of nature and cloth, paper and paper pulp are the focus of Southwest School of Art & Craft’s current exhibition. “Engaged and Fragmented” features four separate portfolios that consider issues of combat and healing that will resonate with many in San Antonio, whether they are currently serving in the Armed Forces, at one of our city’s military medical centers, or are retired veterans. The four portfolio’s include:
Combat Paper
Featuring works by Drew Matott and Drew Cameron and other veterans, “Combat Paper” is a collaborative project that uses the fibers from uniforms worn in combat to create sheets of handmade paper and cathartic works of art. The uniforms are cut up, beat and formed into sheets of paper. Veterans use the transformative process of papermaking to reclaim their uniform as art and begin to embrace their experiences as a soldier in war.
The Paper Landmine Print Project
John Risseeuw, from Arizona, exhibits prints on paper that he made from plants or clothing found in areas where landmines were also present.
Do Unto Others
A collection of works from Eric Avery, M.D., a papermaker and print artist who is also a Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Texas Medical Branch-Galveston.
Stealth Service
New York artist Peter Sowiski’s exhibition, Stealth Service, is a room-sized work of paper pulp and printed images, coming together to depict a life-size aircraft.
Origami
Make your own creation with the Japanese art of paper folding. Teachers from the Southwest School of Art and Craft will be on hand to assist you in making your own Origami creation. Recommended for ages four and older.
Handmade Paper
Make your own sheet of handcrafted paper. Instructors from the Southwest School of Art & Craft will be on hand to instruct you through the entire process. Recommended for ages 8 and up. Due to the amount of water used in the process, it is highly recommended that you wear non-slip shoes.

** Featuring: Remi Alvarez (Mexico City), Ingebrigt Håker Flaten (Oslo, Norway), Jesse Kudler (Philidelphia, PA), Chris Cogburn (Austin, TX) **
heavy Denim, in collaboration with Ten Pounds to the sound, is proud to present No Idea 2010 // Seeds + Systems. This year’s festival is focusing on a series of strong, consolidated smaller events (seeds) in the spirit of connecting international artists, audiences, presenters and organizations with the intention of helping to facilitate greater exchange between creative musicians internationally, and between México and the US specifically (systems).
For the first edition, No Idea 2010 is happy to present México City Free Jazz pioneer Remi Alvarez. Remi’s music creation is vast and diverse with collaborations between such luminaries as William Parker, Hamid Drake, Tobias Delius and the Gnawa Spirit from Morocco. Early studies at the Creative Music Studio in New York (with Don Cherry, Anthony Braxton, George Lewis, Roscoe Mitchell) and with Steve Lacy in Paris, provide the illuminated background from which Remi continues to evolve and share in his collaborations. An avid organizer, Remi also brings the world of creative music to his home in México City, enriching his fellow collaborators and audiences through festivals and concerts he curates year-round. Ten Pounds To The Sound is proud to be presenting such a gifted, generous spirit for its first edition of No Idea 2010.
Remi Alvarez will be joined by Norwegian double bass player (and recent Austin transplant!) Ingebrigt Håker Flaten and Philadelphia sound artist/improvisor Jesse Kudler – along with one of Texas’ premier improvisors – Austin percussionist Chris Cogburn.
In the spirit of exchange and collaboration, this first edition of No Idea 2010 // Seeds + Systems will also hold events in San Antonio, Houston and Dallas, Texas, as well as an event in México City in May 2010.
