The basic motif of the show is ‘what’s happening now,’ with the
intent to capture a broad scope of contemporary work created throughout
Texas. The artists selected for the show will be displaying art from a
range of mediums including 3-D and video installation, painting, and
photography, and many will be displaying multiple works. There will also
be a Best in Show award and 5 jurors picks. All work selected for the
Biennial will be included in a full-color catalog available at each gallery.
The Texas Biennial is pleased to announce our inaugural
exhibit taking place March 2nd-30th 2005. This new
initiative was founded in Austin by Bolm Studios, Camp Fig,
the Dougherty Arts Center, Eastside Artist Coop and
Gallery Lombardi. These five art spaces joined forces to
develop and promote the many talented artists that live
here in Texas. Over 600 submissions from 99 Texas cities
were received, and the final 36 artists, representing
12 Texas cities, were chosen by a 12 member panel made up
of the following representatives:
Bill Davenport -artist and writer from Houston
Ben Fyffe -El Paso Museum of Art
Benito Huerta -Gallery at UT Arlington
Sara Kellner -DiverseWorks – Houston
Jimmy Pena -artist from Corpus Christi
