Review: Artpace Artists-in-Residence Fall 2024 Exhibition

Colette Copeland reviews three solo shows that contest dominant histories and emphasize the importance of female resilience.

It is rare to see such synergy between artists since they each work for two months toward a solo exhibition. I credit curator Beverly Adams for selecting powerful artists engaging in important socio-political issues from strong feminist perspectives.

Sowing & Reaping: Jennifer Hunter Jones at Abilene Center for Contemporary Arts

Michelle Kraft reviews an exhibition of oil and cold wax paintings that explore the human capacity for good and evil.

Beyond a literal recounting of the Biblical Creation-and-Fall story, though, Jones uses the “garden” and its denizens - not just floral, but avian, too - as metaphors for life, propagation, and legacy.

“The Arch within the Arc”: Rick Lowe at the Palazzo Grimani, Venice

Leslie Moody Castro reviews an exhibition of abstract paintings by Houston artist Rick Lowe at the Palazzo Grimani in Venice, Italy.

Most of us recognize Rick Lowe and his work through his hand in social sculpture, his work with communities, and his legacy in the city of Houston. Here, however, at the Palazzo Grimani and in the city of Venice, Lowe’s collages are like the mythical maps of a city both collapsing and radiating from itself.

Signs of Dallas, Streams of Houston: Recent exhibitions in Texas

William Sarradet writes about a group show of typographic work, a solo show of paintings, and an exhibition exploring Houston's water issues.

In her latest exhibition at Tureen, Aaliyah Cydonia delivers a series of oil paintings that explore control, experimentation, and discovery within the medium. Cydonia has established herself as a promising figure in contemporary art, employing a sophisticated interplay of technique and material that reveals her ongoing dialogue with the act of painting itself.

James Turrell: Look at What the Light Did Now

Jessica Fuentes writes about her reflexive experience in the James Turrell Come to Good installation at Keith House.

For me, being there was a needed moment of reflection as the year ended and we looked ahead to the unknowable future. It brought me face-to-face with things I have been compartmentalizing and reminded me of the power of the energy we surround ourselves with.

Upon Reflection: Two Exhibitions at Ro2 Art Gallery, Dallas

Emma S. Ahmad reviews two mixed-media shows at Ro2 Art Gallery that reflect the current social and political moment.

Each flag includes a glory hole that resembles a radioactive icon. The anonymity of the glory hole serves to parallel the detachment and cognitive dissonance that often accompanies nuclear war crimes.
