Passages

Bob Parvin/ Sandra Nykerk

Bob Parvin, Adobe Mission in Presidio, Texas

Passages will showcase the art of two talented photographers, Bob Parvin and Sandra Nykerk. Parvin’s insightful photography focuses on the broad range of cultural and natural resources in his native Lone Star state, Northeastern New Mexico and the rim of the US/Mexican Gulf Coast. Working in the setting of Yellowstone National Park, Nykerk’s fine art images reflect her acute interest in cultural landscapes and the abstract.

Día de los Muertos 2007

Painted Memory: Fidencio Duran / Oaxacan Sand Paintings by Santa Barraza

Fidencio Durán, Corazon Espinado, 40" x 40", 2001, acrylic/canvas

The Art of Fidencio Durán is a mid-career retrospective of the Austin-based artist. Influenced by growing up in a large family and a small rural community, Durán paints his own world: family life, celebrations, rituals, and community. It is our privilege to exhibit the work of this widely recognized artist who can move from large murals to intimate small canvases with the swish of a brush.

Art Guys Go Public

The Art Guys in their SUITS next to Joseph Beuys Felt Suit, Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, 12/4/98

Art Guys Go Public is a three-part exhibit of these zany artists’ realized projects, projects in progress, and projects yet to come. Described in the New York Times as "a cross between Dada, David Letterman, John Cage and the Smothers Brothers", The Art Guys are the court jesters of the postmodern age. The Art Guys present a blend of performance, conceptual and visual art that explores the absurdities of contemporary life and pokes fun at the art world.
