From Dock Space Gallery:
“Dock Space Gallery presents Gary Sweeney’s Mistakes, Rejections, and Other Learning Methods during the month of October, 2024.
Known around San Antonio as an artist with a gregarious nature and bright red glasses, Gary Sweeney is a renowned conceptual artist celebrated for his thought-provoking installations and public artworks. His pieces often blend humor with social commentary, reflecting his unique perspective on culture and identity. Sweeney’s work has been exhibited widely across the United States and internationally, garnering both critical acclaim and public admiration.
In the midst of his success and acclaim, Sweeney uses self-deprecating humor to explain, “I have the ability to screw up the simplest things.” This exhibition will feature some of those screw ups. “Throughout my career, there have been opportunities for creating public art and commissions. Fortunately, most have been successful. However, every artist has experienced rejection, and I’ve had a few instances where my ideas and proposals have been met with sometimes hostile reactions. My exhibit in October will consist of some of these proposals. In addition, I will include some artwork that contains spelling errors, bad registration, etc. Basic screw ups. I’m thankful to Dock Space for this opportunity, and look forward to sharing this work.”
Opening Reception is Saturday, October 12th, 2024 from 6-9pm as part of the Second Saturday Artwalk in the Lone Star Art District. 107 Lone Star Blvd, San Antonio, TX 78204. The exhibition is up through October and the gallery is open by appointment. Call Bill FitzGibbons at 210-723-3048 to view outside of the reception times.”
