UPCOMING
September
Jimmie Hudson: Estate Sale
September 6 through 28
Reception September 6, 6 to 9 PM
Much can be learned of a human life by what is left behind. Estate sales expose the physical remains of a life lived. The mundane and the exquisite, the decorative and the functional, stripped of all sentiment, are displayed and offered to the objective gaze of the public. This body of work, Estate Sale, hopes to engage the viewer in a critique of the objects we possess and what they reveal about our values and aesthetics.
Thirteen
Artists: Monstruo Pérfido
October 12 through 27

Visitors to the Institute Have Been Around the Block
In March,
visitors dabbled about the neighborhood to the drum beat of Mardi Gras
Indian drummer, Mr. Williams. Orange feathers are still turning up, left
in a trail behind Flag Boy Twin. Andrea Caillouet's baubles and beads,
mere shadows of their former selves, were bothered and bewildered but
these are minor matters quite thrown into the shade by the dirty business
of May.
The attentive
eye of the the critic who
wrote about this show has scarcely any living equal, certainly no
living superior.
In April, our dear strangers were assailed by a gang of rhapsodists, rhymers and versifiers from the bed of a pickup truck, led by 2013 NEA Poetry Fellow Jenny Browne and artist Katie Pell. Let us just say that the haiku tattoos peaking from our cuffs were forcibly inscribed upon us and we are better persons for it.
Dirty Business
In May,
bugs were found hidden in the work of Suzanne Paquette. The fact that
they were endangered bugs does not reduce the breach of privacy that they
may pose for the Institute, which also experienced leaks. Who placed the
bugs remains unclear. The likely source of the leaks is a shadowy whistleblower
seen running from the roof. We would like to invite that whistleblower
to come forward and perform in a Salon of Derring-do.
The perceptive
eye of the the critic who
wrote about this show has scarcely any living equal, certainly no
living superior.
Transmogrification
Mike Addkison of ADAPTEResponder Designs accomplished a cheeky transmogrification of Odalisque to Thinker/ Thinker to Odalisque in June.
Speciesism
Cyndi Rook curated a show of Canadian photojournalist Jo-Anne
McArthur's work in July,
which was chosen by Glasstire as one of the Top
5 Art Events in Texas for the week of July 11. That's nothing
to joke about.
Dear patrons, this is just The Tip Of The Iceberg. Thank you for supporting this pseudonymous undertaking. We hope to see you in at the Institute for our upcoming shows.
