2. Dana Robinson: Ebony Reprinted
Co-Lab Projects at Springdale General (Austin)
June 1 – 29

A solo exhibition featuring monoprints by Dana Robinson. The artist on her work: “My monoprints present the healing possibilities of abstraction. Using images that circulated in printed advertisements I remove traces of exploitative white dominated capitalist visual language allow the individuals in these images to regain their agency in the world. As the images are translated into paint, and that paint is intently smeared, pressed, and textured, the human beings at the center of these manipulative images become at once more abstract and exponentially more present.”

Hands and Earth- Contemporary Japanese Ceramics at the Crow Museum5. Hands and Earth: Contemporary Japanese Ceramics
Crow Museum of Asian Art (Dallas)
March 9 – January 5, 2020
Read our review here.

“Showcasing a range of shapes, glazes, and surface treatments, these ceramics reflect a duality of character, blending ingenuity with a dynamic relationship and deep respect for tradition. Most of the works on view are by masters who are living and practicing today. Current Japanese ceramic artists are widely considered among the most aesthetically and technically innovative in the world, yet their works often mirror the vibrant artistic tradition that began thousands of years ago.”
