2006 Exhibition Schedule
Chuck Ramirez
Deeply SuperficialFebruary 1 – March 5, 2006
Visual Arts Gallery
Graphically direct and conceptually complex, Chuck Ramirez's postminimal photographs explore cultural and sexual identity, mortality and consumerism through the conflation of personal history, narrative and social commentary.
Vincent Valdez
StationsFebruary 1 – April 30, 2006
University Gallery, upper lever
In this exhibition, San Antonio-based artist Vincent Valdez uses the Passion story as the basis for a series of large-scale charcoal drawings that recast Christ as a boxer and the crucifixion as a boxing match. Embracing the dark themes of manhood and spirituality, Valdez transforms the Passion into a rite of passage, and a boy's struggle to grow into manhood by confronting his own fears.
Skirting the Line
Conceptual DrawingFebruary 15 – May 7, 2006
University Gallery, lower lever
Skirting the Line is a group exhibition featuring the work of fifteen contemporary artists and artist collectives whose work or practice is informed by the processes and qualities traditionally associated with drawing, yet is equally as driven by conceptual concerns.
Eric Sall
Light PollutionSeptember 6 – September 24, 2006
Visual Arts Gallery
There is a visual gravity that exists within the paintings of Eric Sall. Gestural marks, flat shapes, impastoed dollops, and textured washes pull together into clustered forms on the surface of the canvas as if coalescing. Sall plays with the history of painting, mingling representation's modes and methods with a seemingly disparate lexicon of marks.
Diana Al-Hadid
Pangaea's BlanketOctober 4 – November 5, 2006
Visual Arts Gallery
Diana Al-Hadid uses fiberglass planes, or "membranes," to create large-scale installations that outline and organize space and create the appearance of fragile landscapes. These large-scale installations function as imaginary places that refer to architecture, set design, and the baroque, and depict a variety of forms and geological events that suggest the expansion and formation of geological time.
Past In Reverse
Contemporary Art of East AsiaAugust 23 – December 8, 2006
University Galleries
The exhibition's premise is borrowed from a common practice shared by the artists – namely, using the past to map the future. Ranging in age from their twenties to their fifties, and working with both traditional materials and new technologies, including painting, sculpture, photography, installation, video, and digital media, the artists in Past in Reverse represent the region's tremendous contemporary import and deep cultural complexity.
