    Blanton Museum of Art: MemWars

    Many artists work in multiple mediums, but for Lubbock-raised Terry Allen, music, performance, writing, and visual artwork are truly all part of the same practice. As a visual artist, he often creates immersive sculptural installations with an aspect of performance, incorporated through projections and video. For this ninth installment in the Blanton’s Contemporary Project series, Allen reveals a three-channel video installation and a related group of drawings.

    Carver Museum: Peace to the Queen

    The photographer, humanitarian, and educator Jamel Shabazz presents a career retrospective spanning four decades of work, featuring candid portraits of women of color – as curated by Ja’nell Ajani. "At a moment when Black and Brown women are more visibly leading the charge around movements for racial and economic justice, this exhibition has materialized and aligned at a critical moment in American history and Shabazz’s career."

    Cloud Tree Gallery: Dreams Carry Water

    Recent figurative paintings by Lee Barber bring a flood of rhythmic shapes and harmonious colors at once narratively intriguing and soothing, turning the walls of this Eastside powerhouse of art into a multipartite work of oblique storytelling.

    Davis Gallery: In the Wake of the Exodus

    A new show of major works that legendary sculptor Steve Brudniak has completed over the past decade or so? Eerily gorgeous pieces of Industrial Age machinery and furniture and objects that are like something out of a Guillermo Del Toro fever dream, creations that "aim to share glimpses of experiences we aren't aware of through ordinary channels – into realms influenced by science, dreams, meditation, hypnosis, therapy, psychedelics, music, the subconscious, and spirituality," as the gallery says? Good thing this exhibition is up during SXSW. Because, when you want to impress any in-from-out-of-town friends with the level of talent in Austin, Brudniak's stuff is at least some of what you want them to see. Which also means, we're sure you've inferred, it's what you shouldn't miss, either.

    The Museum of Natural & Artificial Ephemerata

    This place, ah, it's one of our favorite places in the entire city; and of course they're properly corona-closed. But check 'em out online right now – it's a rich, wonder-filled website – to whet your appetite for when things get back to … uh … are we still calling it "normal," these days?
