This Weekend

This weekend is going to be pretty dense with art in San Antonio, so I thought I’d give a little run-down here to help you sort through it all. Over at Southwest School of Art and Craft, Multiplicity opens on Thursday. This exhibit features some top-notch ceramic artists, including one of my favorites, Marek Cecula. Other artists featured are Shawn Busse, Bean Finneran, Kay Hwang, Denise Pelletier, Jeanne Quinn, Gregory Roberts and Juana Valdes. You can read a review of the show in Artlies (when it was at UT El Paso). If you’re going to see one show this week, make it Multiplicity. Southwest School is also showing new ceramic work by three “certificate students” (Miguel Abugattas, Janice Mann and Lyn Woods), and photography by faculty member Richard Kline.
This Friday is also First Friday, and it looks to be a good one. Rome Prize winner and UTSA faculty member Ron Binks is showing photography at REM Gallery (there will also be work by Ricky Armendariz, another UTSA faculty member); Marlys Dietrick shows new drawings at Three Walls; and Sala Diaz shows new work by Buzz Spector, Chuck Ramirez, Kimberley Aubuchon, and Michelle Monseau. All these exhibits are worth checking out; and if you missed the opening, Yellow Wallpaper at Unit B is closing on Friday as well.
As it happens, this month Second Saturday falls the day after First Friday, so on Saturday night the South Flores crew will be opening three photography exhibits in the 1906 building. In Salon Mijangos we’re having Richard Yanas curate a show of young photographers from San Antonio and Houston; FL!GHT is showing Club Foot, a collection of photos of club-goer’s feet by Bryan DeLaGarza; and One9Zero6 shows the work of David Blow, a faculty member at UNT.
And Sunday, we sleep.
[...] Anyways, a couple of shows tonight, Texas Prize and Las Manitas Friday night and a robust gallery hopping Saturday night. I had wanted to go to San Antonio for Unit B’s closing. But my car’s acting up. It’s a busy weekend down there, too. [...]
also the arbor house is doing an opening on saturday night.
it’s called “I GOT YOU(R) BACK”
and from the info i’ve been sent:
