    Austin Central Library: Fagilee/Siwaju/Tunto

    Austin's own Akirash presents his newest sculptural installation at the Austin Central Library. "As I built these mini grocery stores," says the artist, "I thought of the relationships we build and how Covid is pulling them down brick by brick. I thought of the hands and souls have touched the packages and mourned some of them who passed. The colors were arranged to invoke the ceaseless news and information flow on social media and the internet; the day-to-day report on the progress of finding a cure; of how many people are affected, infected, surviving, or dying all around the world; and the statistics of economies failing."

    Beyond Van Gogh

    This traveling spectacle of art, a multimedia exhibition currently ensconced at the COTA, uses cutting-edge projection technology to create an engaging journey into the world of Vincent Van Gogh. Repurposing the artist's dreams, his thoughts, and his words to drive the experience as a narrative, this huge installation will move you along projection-swathed walls wrapped in light, colour, and shapes that swirl, dance and refocus into flowers, cafes and landscapes. As a certain Dude might comment, "This is extremely fuckin' trippy, man." Make your reservations now, citizen, and if the price seems a bit steep, hell, you can probably tap your brother Theo for a loaner, amirite?
    Through Sept. 5. Daily, 11am-9pm. $37 ($24, children).

    Cloud Tree: If These Walls Could Talk

    Ah, this, citizen: This here is a seven-artist exhibition – featuring Tim Kerr, Niz, Jeremy Burks, Gayla Partridge, Kenneth Holland, Jeff Wheeler, and Win Wallace – curated by Rachel Koper and the abovenamed Wallace, that attempts to reincarnate those "punk creepy shows" (cf., "Hallowed Ground") that used to palpitate the creative hearts at Gallery Lombardi back in the day. You remember those glory years, right? And here, now, each artist brings their voice and style to plaster the Cloud Tree gallery walls with a diversity of figurative pieces. Bonus: Robert Faires reviews the show here.

    Davis Gallery: Flora and Fauna

    Right, so we're crazy excited about this show, because 1) we're all about the flora and the fauna; 2) the show includes new pieces by that relatively unsung genius of arcane sculptural work, Steve Brudniak; and 3) this is a group exhibition "focused on the depth and variety of Davis Gallery's family of artists." Yes! And if you don't already know how impressive, how basically aesthetically badass, that diversity of makers is, citizen, then this "Flora and Fauna" gig will be the perfect introduction for you.
