OPENING SATURDAY at Women & Their Work – ”Alejandra Almuelle: Circular Body” _ The focus of Alejandra Almuelle’s work is the human form. The body not only carries our genetic memory, but it is the biological archive of experience. We are historically shaped and conditioned by the environment and by the same socioeconomic structures we have participated in creating. The human body is both witness and event, as well as the field where these two aspects are at play. Her work points to this juncture. Through the human form in its different iterations, Almuelle shifts attention beyond form to what is implicit: the event, the experience that has taken place. _ SHOW DATES: March 23 - May 9 _ Women & Their Work @womenandtheirwork ADDRESS: 1311 E Cesar Chavez St HOURS: Tues-Fri: 10AM-6PM, Sat: 12PM-6PM _ IMAGE: Alejandra Almuelle @alejandra.almuelle _ #austinart #artaustinorg #eastaustin #atx #austin #artaustin #atxartist #austinartist #artexhibition #artgallery #texasartists #austintexas #atxart #atxevents #austinstudiotour #austingallery #galleryaustin #austinartgallery #eastaustingallery #artmuseum #austinartmuseum
ON VIEW at ICOSA Collective – ”Our given distance: Tammie Rubin and Erin Cunningham” _ In this exhibition, sculptors Cunningham and Rubin converse through objectness to find connections to women’s labor by delving into each of their familial lineage. Labor roles such as housekeeper, seamstress, cook, caretaker, and homemaker are common threads referenced in ”Our given distance.” Cast iron, textiles, found objects, collaged fans, porcelain, wax, and graphite sculptures hold space for the unseen domestic labor of women. Both artists have matriarchal southern roots and shared generational labor. _ SHOW DATES: March 1 - March 30 _ ICOSA Collective @icosa_art ADDRESS: 916 Springdale Rd, Bldg 2, 102 HOURS: Fri-Sat: 12PM-6PM _ IMAGE: Work by Tammie Rubin @tammierrubin and Erin Cunningham @erinmichaella .

THIS SATURDAY – Opening Reception for “Synchronicity” by Eva Weiss and Cheryl Finfrock at Link & Pin Gallery! _ Finfrock and Weiss were happily surprised by the striking resemblances in specific images captured by Weiss's camera and depicted in Finfrock's paintings.

The works of Diane Arbus, Mike Disfarmer, and Alice Neel, all of whom have influenced Finfrock and Weiss, have permeated their artistic styles. This discovery revealed that the similarities between their works were not coincidental but, instead, an intentional manifestation of the artists' shared influences and love of portraiture. With this common ground in mind, the artists created the exhibit “Synchronicity.” _ EVENT INFO: Saturday, February 24, 5-7 pm SHOW DATES: February 22 - March 23 _ Link & Pin Gallery @linkpinart ADDRESS: 2235 E 6th, 102 HOURS: Thu-Sat: 1PM-5PM and by appointment _ #austinart #artaustinorg #eastaustin #atx #austin #artaustin #atxartist #austinartist #artexhibition #artgallery #texasartists #austintexas #atxart #atxevents #austinstudiotour #austingallery #galleryaustin #austinartgallery #eastaustingallery #artmuseum #austinartmuseum

OPENING TOMORROW at the Blanton – ”The Floating World: Masterpieces of Edo Japan from the Worcester Art Museum” _ Enjoy more than 130 woodblock prints and painted scrolls from one of history’s most vibrant artistic eras. During Japan’s peaceful and prosperous Edo period (1603-1868), members of the ruling class patronized artists, merchants, entertainers, and courtesans in a metropolitan melting pot known as ukiyo, or “floating world.” There, a new art genre emerged: ukiyo-e. These “pictures of the floating world” depict the lifestyle, pleasures, and interests of the urban population— from samurais, geishas, and kabuki actors to boat parties, palaces, and lush landscapes. _ SHOW DATES: February 11 - June 30 _ Blanton Museum of Art @blantonmuseum ADDRESS: 200 E Martin Luther King Blvd HOURS: Wednesday-Saturday: 10AM-5PM; Sunday: 1PM-5PM _ IMAGE: Katsushika Hokusai, ‘Fuji from Gotenyama, at Shinagawa on the Tōkaidō (Tōkaidō Shinagawa Gotenyama no Fuji),’ c. 1831, color woodblock print, 9 5/8 x 14 1/2 in., Worcester Art Museum, John Chandler Bancroft Collection _ #austinart #artaustinorg #eastaustin #atx #austin #artaustin #atxartist #austinartist #artexhibition #artgallery #texasartists #austintexas #atxart #atxevents #austinstudiotour #austingallery #galleryaustin #austinartgallery #eastaustingallery #artmuseum #austinartmuseum
ON VIEW at Lora Reynolds Gallery – ”Jong Oh: Bending Moment” _ From afar, Oh’s work registers as a delicate and precise line drawing that has somehow been lifted from paper and suspended in three-dimensional space. Closer inspection reveals the work is in fact a sculpture of thread or fine black jewelry chain and thin metal rods, held aloft by practically invisible monofilament. For Oh, the boundary between a drawing and a sculpture is more a question of time—attention, awareness—than dimensionality. _ SHOW DATES: January 27 - March 23 _ Lora Reynolds Gallery @lorareynoldsgallery ADDRESS: 1126 W 6th St HOURS: Wed-Sat: 11AM-6PM _ IMAGE: Jong Oh @jong__oh , detail of ’Line Sculpture (cuboid with curve) #6’, 2024 metal rod, chain, monofilament, 38-1/2 x 19-1/4 x 7-3/4 _ #austinart #artaustinorg #eastaustin #atx #austin #artaustin #atxartist #austinartist #artexhibition #artgallery #texasartists #austintexas #atxart #atxevents #austinstudiotour #austingallery #galleryaustin #austinartgallery #eastaustingallery #artmuseum #austinartmuseum
