Austin/Kansas City Swap Part 1

Slow Cooked - New Work from Kansas City
From Okay Mountain's Website...
In conjunction with Kansas City’s Urban Culture Project and the Charlotte Street Foundation, Okay Mountain is pleased to present “Slow Cooked” – New Work from Kansas City, curated by Sterling Allen. The show is one half of an exchange project wherein the communities of Austin and Kansas City are brought a bit closer due to the sharing of each city’s artists and resources. The other half of this collaborative effort culminates in two exhibitions at Kansas City’s Paragraph Gallery; one featuring six Austin-based artists, curated by Kate Hackman and Grant Miller and one featuring a collaborative show by the partners and members of Okay Mountain gallery.

Though the formal and conceptual aspects of the five artists chosen for “Slow Cooked” are very different, an underlying detail to all the work is what seems to be a solid commitment to an idea and the patience necessary to carry that work into fruition. Though somewhat of a survey, this exhibition can also be seen as an
alternative to a current trend of artists who make work hastily or with little regard for craft. Artists include Marcus Cain, Michael Converse, Colin Leipelt, Kacy Maddux, and James Woodfill.

2008 Austin Film Fest

Everything's Going to be Okay - Young Latin American Artists 13

Opening Reception – Friday, October 3, 2008
Reception – 7:00-9:00 PM
Performance by Carlos Rosales-Silva – 8:00 PM
@
Mexic-Arte Museum
419 Congress Avenue Austin, TX 78701














Everything's Going to be Okay illustrates how moments of vulnerability can turn into our greatest strengths. The artists in this exhibition do not define themselves by the blood running through their veins or their ancestral history, but rather their personal histories. This exhibition, in its 13th year, features and challenges young Latino artists under the age of 35 to create and present their vision in a reexamination of social and aesthetic norms with new and experimental media.

Artists:
Luis David Contreras II (Mission, TX)
Adriana Garcia (San Antonio, TX)
Cardee Garcia (San Antonio, TX)
Gerardo Garcia (San Antonio, TX)
Christina Garza-Mitchell (Corinth, TX)
Ivan R. Lozano (Austin, TX)*
Nathan Orosco (Odessa, TX)
Carlos Rosales-Silva (Austin, TX)
Xochi Solis (Austin, TX)
Lupita Murillo Tinnen (Plano, TX)
Felix Anthony Trejo (Brownsville, TX)
David "Shek" Vega (San Antonio, TX)
