March 14 – April 25, 2015

Says Schenck: “I built forts out of foam bed liners, cardboard boxes, and chairs. Sometimes my cat would sleep in them with me.” Also on view at 500X: works by Kate Colin, Timothy Harding, Michael Furrh, Sebastian Stoddart, M. Kate Helmes, Katherine Baker, Jessica Fuentes, and Jean-Luc Vila.

Would be a great weekend for teleporting around the state. Nice to see three Dallas artists featured for shows in other parts of Texas — congrats to Michelle, Jeff, and Greg!

San Antonio is a great place to visit this month as it celebrates Contemporary Art Month with exhibitions staged all over the city.
