    Austin Studio Tour WEST

    People in movies go to art galleries constantly. I mentioned this offhand to a friend recently in the context of David Cronenberg flicks – which always feature a scary art show opening that ties thematically with the protagonist’s journey – and they were like “Oh man. I wish I could go to an art opening like that.” Okay! So! Imagine if there were like a two-weekend-long series where galleries all over Austin were hosting plot-advancement-worthy art events and you could go to all of them. Well, you don’t have to imagine that, because it exists. This weekend covers West Austin, while next weekend, Nov. 16-17, covers the East art scene.

    Flair Symposium: Literature & Change

    An alarming rise in book bans. The further disintegration of the publishing industry. An uncertain future that will certainly be shaped by artificial intelligence. There’s a lot going on with literature these days, which makes right now an exceptional time to chew over all this change. Enter the HRC’s Flair Symposium, an interdisciplinary meeting of the minds that spun out of Fleur Cowles’ Flair Magazine and returns for its 14th (but first post-pandemic) symposium. Keynote speakers include Colm Tóibin (Brooklyn) and Ayad Akhtar (Homeland Elegies). Free and open to the public, but registration is required. – Kimberley Jones

    Manchurian Candidate

    Opera can often seem stuffy and boring, which is an unfair characterization especially this time, as Austin Opera presents a political thriller that leapt from the page to the screen way back in the Sixties before a 2004 remake starring Denzel Washington and Liev Schreiber, and then a 2015 reimagining as an opera by composer Kevin Puts and librettist Mark Campbell. After winning multiple Austin Critics Table awards back in 2016, it returns to the stage for the first time, coinciding with another turbocharged election season. Mark Diamond, last seen locally in Sweeney Todd, plays the veteran Raymond Shaw, while Grammy winner Frederick Ballentine makes his AO debut as Capt. Ben Marco in this riveting production. – Kat McNevins

    Melissa Villaseñor

    Okay, first Latina cast member of Saturday Night Live? Check. Incredibly versatile imitation toolbox that includes a stellar Shakira and an awesome Owen Wilson? Double check! But for this writer, the real sauce comedian Melissa Villaseñor possesses is in her extensive voice-acting résumé. She’s got serious animation heavy hitter cred, having given voice to one head of the quad-faced interdimensional being Grob on Adventure Time as well as playing speaking strawberry fashion icon Drude on O.K. K.O.! Let’s Be Heroes. She checks all the boxes, so why don’t YOU check your WALLET for the $24 plus bucks a ticket to her three-day headline show will cost ya. – James Scott

    "Native America: In Translation"

    One thing I’ve loved about newer theatre or museums is the space given for land acknowledgement – statements about the ancestral roots of the space being used. Space that was not always ours, but taken. The Blanton’s latest exhibit tackles that question, but pushes the boundaries. It’s not just about what Native America was, but what it can be. Curator and lauded artist Wendy Red Star has assembled nine other Native artists to create a rich exploration of what life in America is today. Shown through a variety of mediums, something is guaranteed to resonate with the audience. Whether it’s the photos, paintings, videos, or multimedia works is up to you. – Cat McCarrey

    Luna

    Who doesn’t like having friends? They’re great! So great, in fact, that Ramón Esquivel’s play for younger audiences is all about how to make friends. Luna follows Soledad, a daughter of migrant farm workers whose nomadic life makes stable friendships a difficult prospect. Though books, the stars, and her namesake – aka, the moon – keep her company, the play centers on Soledad’s meeting two peers who, much like her, are searching for connection. Bring the kids to this wonderful stage production directed by Mateo Hernandez, but be warned if you’ve got fidgeting young folks: This here play’s an hour without intermission. – James Scott

    “And the valley froze over”

    When describing his six-film saga, director George Lucas described the multi-generational history of the Star Wars world as being “like poetry. They rhyme.” Much mocked, I actually find this a nice way to explain the repetition history tends to have – exemplified even better, TBH, in artist Enrique Figueredo’s woodcut pieces on view at Flatbed. These pieces utilize images of historical Spanish missions to convey timeless themes: economic struggles, religious turmoil, war. Figueredo also unveils three new altarpieces from his Federación Venezolana de Bobsleigh. series that takes inspiration from, as the show copy states, “the artist’s childhood fantasy of piloting a make-believe bobsleigh team at the Winter Olympics.” – James Scott

    “Caustic Room”

    Audio art mixes with light at this new show from Vermont-born “musician, artist, bookbinder, juggler, woodworker, and dungeon master” Cooper McBean. Through a series of tones bounced off resonating panels as well as into an illuminated pool at the center of Recspec’s shipping-container venue, McBean’s work creates reflections that light up the space. These – the titular “caustics” – can be manipulated by the gallery’s audience through adding their own little hums and hahs into its atmosphere. Check out this mix of water, light, and sound on its opening night, Nov. 8, or during the second week of the Austin Studio Tour. – James Scott

    “Elevate”

    Visual texture does more than garner interest – it ignites the brain, allowing for overwhelming emotional reactions. Artist Anya Molyviatis is a master at creating exactly that with her exploratory weavings. According to the exhibit statement, the work is designed to transform “material and color into expressions of weightlessness.” Indeed, the woven panels typically work in one hue, or a slightly related color story, the variations in thread tone precisely placed to make the panels feel like a portal. Where do they go? That’s up to the viewer. Float along a blue wave into depths of sky or ocean. Enter into an orange and pink sunscape. Sink into the woven world of Molyviatis. – Cat McCarrey

    A more thematically dedicated writer might have written this whole listing in wingdings or emojis as a way of conveying the connection between illustration-forward storytelling via this show’s subject – emblem books, aka a collection of allegorical images – but alas. Y’all got me instead. Local garage-based gallery GLHF hosts a collective art show featuring artists Eli Decker, Ario Elami, Christopher Miller, and Teppla taking inspiration from one particular emblem book: Ethica Naturalis, whose illustrations personify natural elements. Attend opening night this Friday, Nov. 8, and see these artists express the eternal power dynamic between man and nature. – James Scott

    “Heirlooms” by Sara Hirneisen

    Reader, I must be honest: I am writing about this event 99% because the photo the gallery sent me is fascinating. In keeping with artist Sara Hirneisen’s sculpture use of casting, the object in question bears 10 plaster-cast fingers piked onto metal prongs and carries the title Finger Rake. I’m obsessed with Finger Rake, which makes sense given Hirneisen’s show is all about holding items in reverence. Playing with gendered objects, Hirneisen reimagines the contents of a hope chest as not so much jewelry and baubles but practical tools. Many of these objects include molds cast from herself and her own children. This process, she writes, stands in opposition to thoughts of marriage and motherhood: Rather, she is “making tools that set them [her children] up for independence and self-sufficiency.” – James Scott

Opening this Saturday, November 9, this play version promises to stay true to Eyre’s story of “one woman’s fight for freedom and fulfillment on her own terms.” But riddle me this!

    Nicole Awai’s “In the thick of it”

    Trinidad-born artist Nicole Awai’s work centers around “the ooze.” What is the ooze, you ask? Both material and metaphorical, it encompasses the viscous media Awai uses, like synthetic polymers, and evokes the blurred boundaries of cultural, historical, and personal identity that she references in her work. “Awai’s practice ‘overflows’ traditional boundaries as it often interweaves elements from her Caribbean heritage with broader themes of globalization and diaspora,” writes Phillip A. Townsend, curator of UT’s Art Galleries at Black Studies. Awai’s work has referenced history ranging from Civil War monuments at UT-Austin and Grand Army Plaza in New York to Trinidadian folklore about the La Brea tar pits in Los Angeles, all while “foregrounding the transformative potential of the ooze,” writes Townsend. – Lina Fisher

    Soundscapes: Amos Cochran

    Local gallery ICOSA pulls an Emmy nominated composer for the next edition of their sound work series – played on the stereo system aimed at the Canopy Complex’s open-air breezeway. Amos Cochran, whose work hits at convergence of organic and in-organic instrumentation, brings two pieces for this installation. One, “Color Field Outside/In,” was inspired by the artist’s research into the Color Field movement – which held that color was as important to an art’s emotional resonance as figures. His second piece, “N.I. (Natural Intelligence),” developed as a result of Cochran’s musings on overconsumption. “I see this work as an abstraction of my overall relationship with technology,” the artist relays in his statement, “and how its consumption plays a crucial role in our societal psyche.” – James Scott
