I’ve been in a hopeless mood today, semi-flattened by a multiple sucker-punch of sad and horrifying news — massacre in Norway, the continuing fiasco of waste, loss and futility in Afghanistan, the budget talk breakdown and brinksmanship, a train disaster in China, the shocking failure of the genuinely talented Amy Winehouse to find her way [...]

The fantasy goes something like this: Most everyone was pleased with the clear, focused vision for the 2011 Texas Biennial. It was a brilliant success, with a tightly curated, single exhibition put together by a well-known curator from out of state.

You still have time to see the Texas Biennial 2011! It’s up until May 21, extended by a week.

I think this is sort of [...]

I’ve seen the Sala Diaz effect encourage unprecedented audacity more than once. More than ten times. The secret is, to a large extent, the flip-flop of the usual S.A. gallery show, in which an artist hangs finished work in the course of one or two days, and that art hangs or stands in there for [...]

I don’t think I’ve ever had an interesting conversation that began with the other person saying, “When I was at Burning Man…” I’m not saying it couldn’t happen. And I’ve got several friends who’ve had fun during this increasingly famous free-form, if expensive, festival thingy; one friend met her husband at Burning Man. He’s a [...]

I’m obsessed with contemporary art, sharks, and Julie Andrews, I hate mayonnaise, I’m a born and bred San Antonian who [...]
