Art of the Incarcerated
Opening Reception: Friday, Aug. 28, 6–8 p.m.
Gallery Talk: Friday, Aug. 28, 5–6 p.m.
As a society, we have sentenced individuals to existence in institutions in accordance with laws
of the land. While this incarceration may serve to protect the citizenry, it needs to acknowledge the
cost to the human spirit for those who are confined. The arts offer expression, communication and hope
for those who are confined. This exhibit showcases some of the creative work created in our local prisons.

Sept. 18–Oct. 9
JIMMY LUU: THE OFFICE OF PRINTED EPHEMERA
Opening Reception: Friday, Sept. 18, 6–8 p.m.
Artist: Jimmy Luu
The Office of Printed Ephemera presents a large collection of prints from the Offices archive of collected digital content,
which comes from sources such as Craigslist ads or Twitter posts. Each selected text is then archived in printed form via handset
letterpress or hand-pulled silkscreen. The Office’s archive explores the parallels between turn-of-the-century printed ephemera and
the current flood of fleeting digital content produced and distributed in real time via the internet. As a meditation on so-called
"new" and "old" media, The Office of Printed Ephemera is a starting place for imagining new ways of understanding the rapidly unfolding
digital world.
Sponsored in part by the Still Water Foundation.

 Oct. 16–Nov. 5
Borderland
Opening Reception: Friday, Oct. 16, 6–8 p.m.
Artist: Jason Reed
This series explores vernacular life in the border regions of West Texas and New Mexico. Through
depictions of people, buildings, landscapes and personal objects, the photographs function as memorials
of the past while simultaneously lending a sense of stability to the future. Working together, these layers
of nature and culture, myth and reality, and past and present begin to form an emblematic map that serves as
a personal and collective guide to this region.

Two Austin-based artists, Joe Janson and James Tisdale, present their colorful and expressive works. Responding to the
world around them, each artist manifests their vision through unique media and styles — Janson primarily through painting,
and Tisdale through terra cotta earthenware sculpture.
