Austin Wednesday, May 24 Events

Over + Over: Passion for Process
Ordinary materials—from paper cups and pencil stubs to tires, twist ties and playing cards—are transformed by a dozen artists into extraordinary art. As the digitized image on the plasma screen becomes the ubiquitous means of communication, and the keyboard supplants the hand, a number of artists are turning to traditional hobbies and craft expressions as foundations for their art. Their manual work includes meticulous hand beading, sewing, quilting, silhouette cutting, collaging and collecting. Informed by process art of the 1970s, and attached to the grid that has organized much of the art of the last fifty years, these artists are reenacting some of the tenets of the Arts and Crafts movement of a hundred years ago. Location: Austin Museum of Arts Downtown. Call 512-495-9224 for more info.
