Cloud Tree: Pinnacles

This new series of paintings by John Mulvany weaves together events – remembered, recounted, or directly experienced – into an allegorical narrative documenting a singular imagined event set over a 24-hour period in the desert and mountains along the border of Texas and Mexico. "When I took my first trip to Big Bend," says the artist, "the heat, the extraordinary light, the intense silence, the long blue shadows – it was the most exotic and intense landscape I had ever experienced." And now you can know that experience, too, citizen – via visions from the eyes and mind of this talented man, as rendered in meticulous pigments on paper, on canvas, on the heart of the world.

Closing reception with the artist: Sun., Oct. 9, 2pm

Goodluckhavefun Gallery: Superposition

Quantum forces have conspired to entangle Austin’s Goodluckhavefun Gallery with San Antonio-based collective Motherling. The resulting phenomenon brings artists with a focus on geometric abstraction into spatial proximity, reflected up and down the I-35 corridor from their primary locale. Works from seven San Antonio artists will occupy the Austin venue for the run of the show, while works from artists from the Geometric Abstraction Group of Austin will reside in San Antonio.

GrayDUCK Gallery: Delivered and Discarded

Yoonmi Nam, an artist born in Seoul, South Korea, works in traditional printmaking processes such as mokuhanga (Japanese-style water-based woodblock printing) and lithography to make imagery and explores other materials – clay, glass, and paper – to make three-dimensional still lifes. Well, to be precise, to make gorgeous three-dimensional still lifes.

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.
