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.Through April 16 -
