Continued from Part I… V. Reynosa, Narcolandia and sad, sad data It’s important to point out that Rigoberto Gonzalez is not a Chicano artist, though he shares a lot of the same concerns, and is deeply interested in Chicano art and culture. But he’s a Mexican artist living (legally, understand) in the United States. He [...]

I. Some Art Context I have so much to show you. This is the first painting I ever saw by Rigoberto Gonzalez. It appeared in the Virginia Rutledge-curated Texas Biennial show of 2011, and it stopped me cold. The marriage of subject matter and technique felt shockingly fresh. This is a hell of an accomplishment; [...]

Fort Worth Contemporary Art’s exhibit of Angus Fairhurst’s bronze gorilla sculpture entitled A Couple of Differences Between Thinking and Feeling pays homage to the YBA artist who tragically died in 2008. Post-death, we cannot help but anthropomorphize and project the artist’s depression and loneliness onto the magnificent sculpture. The gorilla, regal in stature, stares at [...]

This last April I attended a curators’ symposium in Austin during the Texas Biennial. It was a day-long series of panel discussions and presentations hosted by Arthouse, right around the time Arthouse was enduring some serious criticism over its censorious and/or irresponsible treatment of two prime exhibitions and of its own confused and confusing treatment [...]

Look. We have a problem here that creative people are learning to circumvent. The economy is awful, and while auction-house prices are staying weirdly 1%-er high, the rest of the art world—discrete art scenes, city by city—are still experiencing a hell of a financial sinkhole. This is when artists do what Tina Fey writes about [...]

Thomas Feulmer and Christina Rees are at it again with Modern Ruin: Quick and Dirty, a second edition of their popular bank-intervention show last year, minus the economic crisis tie-in, but including gumbo. This time, they have taken over a pristine, but empty, century-old bungalow in the cultural district behind the Fort Worth Modern for [...]

This wasn’t meant to be a column about art fairs—it was meant to be about wealth and conservatism—but art fairs are something I know and wealth and conservatism are major players at fairs. I can’t find the exact quote I’ve been searching for so here’s my wonky memory at work: In either late 2008 or [...]
