grayDUCK Gallery: Findings

Reminiscent of geologic formations, seeming like objects from a cabinet of natural curiosities, Bethany Johnson's intimate sculptures in this show offer a multilayered meditation on deep time, material metamorphosis, and the anthropogenic landscaping of landfills, quarries, and road cuts. These dimensional works are composed of plastics, paper, aluminum, fabric, rubber, foam, cardboard, and wood – densely bound together with pressure by a hidden, internal armature of screws and bolts – then trimmed and sanded to a smooth polish.

Laguna Gloria

This local treasure of a venue, run by those Contemporary Austin folks who also bring us the Jones Center shows Downtown, is all about the outdoors – which is perfect for these trickily navigated times of ours, n'est-ce pas? Recommended: Stop by and breathe in the air, enjoy the lawns and gardens and the many examples of world-class sculpture arrayed across the property, and (as Frankie used to say) r-e-l-a-x.

Prizer Arts & Letters: Vecino

Jorge Sanhueza-Lyon's new exhibition of (absolutely stunning) photographs “looks to explore the unique and distinctive sense of spirit that defines the Holly Street neighborhood, the place where I have lived for the past twenty-five years. For me, this spirit has always been fostered by my neighbors. The stories of these kindred spirits, old-timers, families and folks have shaped my sense of home. Together, they are my 'Genius Loci,' the keepers of the spirit of the neighborhood."

Something Cool Studios: Veracity

This show brings together work from Shanisia Person, exploring diverging aspects of gender, employing literal transparency to appose its place in the broader society with how it functions within the BDSM community; and Brent Pheto, populating his world with characters demonstrating the ubiquity of disempowerment through the raw emotions in everyday situations; and Cameron Gray, using materiality as a codex to unlock the ancestral spirit, selecting objects that often have violent connections to Blackness and repositioning their narrative.
