    “Big Pour”

    Collaboration’s the name of the artistic game here, with the newest exhibition at MASS being a three-way split showcase of Erin Miller, Audrey Blood, and Alexandre Pépin. Their pieces find shared experiences in the process of paper-making and reflect their navigation of “vulnerability, trust, and transformation through making.” Displayed alongside their separate works will be community-made pulp paintings, which were created during a MASS-hosted community paper-making day. Opening reception’s this Saturday, so take a page from these entangled artistes and invite all your friends. – James Scott

    “Terra Forma”

    This group exhibition featuring 10 local artists reimagines cartography as a skill endemic to artists, not scientists. Before the 17th century, maps were painted according to bodies, the show argues. These bodies were a lived, agreed-upon experience of a place not bound by data-driven management, the purpose of which is solely “to help outsiders drive through a land in which they had no real interest – except for locating resources to be exploited.” That’s Co-lab quoting from the book that lent the exhibition its name, Terra Forma: A Book of Speculative Maps by Frédérique Aït-Touati, Alexandra Arénes, and Axelle Grégoire. In an age of at once increasingly policed borders and forced migration due to a changing Earth, the show argues that “humankind is no longer solely in control.” – Lina Fisher

    Captivating Colors: A Group Exhibition

    There are entire college courses and certification programs for color theory, aka color science, delving into how colors interact and affect our perceptions and emotions. Fascinating stuff, really – part of why so many restaurants use warm colors like red, yellow, and orange in their branding is due to their tendency to stimulate the appetite. For this group exhibition featuring over 40 Austin artists, Art for the People showcases pieces where “color is not just aesthetic but an active agent shaping meaning and mood.” Visit with artists at a noon-5pm opening celebration on Saturday, June 14, or catch the exhibit sometime this summer and experience color in a new light. – Kat McNevins

    Christopher Miller & Lily Timberlake: “I Could’ve Dreamed I Was Here”

    From 6:30-10pm this Thursday, join two Austin painters for an exhibition celebrating slowness. Amongst the din of the attention economy, Christopher Miller and Lily Timberlake have created a capsule of work that draws your focus to daily pleasures like taking your dog for a walk and contemplating dappled shade on the sidewalk. Miller’s saturated, spacious Texas landscapes and Timberlake’s detail-oriented snapshots of foliage play off of each other to encourage a meditative viewing experience. Tin Whistle Gallery, tucked into the studios on Bolm Road, hosts this duo show through July 5. – Lina Fisher

    City Theatre presents Tartuffe, or the Hypocrite

    Get this – a priest advising a high-ranking family is actually corrupt and trying to take all their possessions for himself, all while being a rampant sex-pest toward every woman around. Shockingly, it’s not actually a breaking news story! But wowza: It sure could be. This French classic may be over 350 years old, but the story’s fresh as a daisy. It’s hard not to find resonant moments of recognition in corrupt con-man Tartuffe pulling the wool over hapless nobleman Orgon’s eyes. How easy it is for the wealthy to swallow comfortable lies. It’s just like Molière (and high school Cat) always said: “Man, I can assure you, is a nasty creature.” – Cat McCarrey

    Lance Myers: “Frequencies in the Static Bloom”

    Lance Myers’ previous work as an animator (Space Jam, A Scanner Darkly) inherently involved movement. With this exhibition he slows things down to a complete stop. The still lifes and portraits are a study in stillness, but there’s life in every brushstroke with flowers bursting with color and figures with proportions that are almost imperceptibly exaggerated. Throw some insects into the mix and you have a gently surreal and passionate display. Just because there isn’t any action, doesn’t mean you can’t be moved. – James Renovitch

    Lucky Stiff

    Resident theatre company of the Baker Center’s floral-named stage, Beyond August Productions goes zany this summer season with a rom-com musical. After Harry Witherspoon learns he’s getting big buckaroos – or pounds, as they say in the play’s setting of merry old London – following an estranged uncle’s demise, his life gets turned upside down thanks to a particularly “zany” clause requiring he escort said dead unc all the way to Monte Carlo. Failure means no money for ol’ Harry, but success involves a whole lotta hijinks including weirdos, schemes, and even true love! – James Scott

    Michael Velliquette: “The Distance Within Us”

    Slow down, stroll the gardens, enjoy a specialty cocktail, and see sculptures nestled in the green gardens at Umlauf this summer. Velliquette’s solo exhibition shows off his largest presentation of sculptures made of paper and powder-coated metal. These works invite visitors to take a moment to breathe and focus on the present moment, with an awareness of the shared human experience. “It’s about reaching inward and outward at once, and the ways that symbolic forms can guide us toward greater awareness and connection,” Velliquette said. – Sammie Seamon
