An internationally respected artist and art educator, he has conducted the bulk of his career in Austin. A Professor Emeritus in UT-Austin's Department of Art and Art History, he co-authored four, major text books in art education and mentored&#8212;and inspired&#8212;hundreds of art teachers during his forty years of teaching at UT. Fearing has received innumerable awards and has been the subject of many museum exhibitions. He was selected as the Texas Tribute Artist for the 2009 Texas Biennial; in 2008 he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Center for the Study of Early Texas Art; in 2007 he received the prestigious E. William Doty Award from UT-Austin's College of Fine Arts; and he was inducted into the Austin Arts Hall of Fame in 2003.</p> <p>The exhibition provides a brief introduction to the massive amount of art that Kelly Fearing has created during his long and distinguished career. Included are a few of his early works, many mid-career pieces, and a few items fresh from his studio in West Lake Hills. It is a modest tribute to Fearing’s notable career. His admirers may see some of their favorites here, and viewers discovering his work for the first time will hopefully be inspired to see more by this exceptional artist.</p> Sat, 07 Nov 2009 8:00:08 AM CST http://www.finearts.utexas.edu/events/detail.cfm?calset=aah&id=2406 <p><em><strong>Transnational Latin American Art</strong></em> is a collaboration between The Permanent Seminar in Latin American Art (the University of Texas at Austin) and Meeting Margins (University of Essex and the University of the Arts London) and is designed to promote contacts and collaborative work between graduate students and emerging scholars.</p> <p>Viewing the history of Latin American art in terms of reception, contact and collaboration is an emergent paradigm exemplified by recent exhibitions, publications, and research projects. An International Research Forum on Transnational Latin America aims to create opportunities for emerging researchers to join experienced scholars in interrogating this area of research and its implications.</p> <p>Addressing art from 1950 to the present day, the forum concerns intra Latin American exchanges, as well as encounters between Latin America and Europe and the USA; it will explore contacts between individual artists and critics, the movements, groups and institutions and wider geopolitical and cultural contexts that have supported and provoked them, and the particular forms of art and its reception that transnational exchanges have generated.</p> <p><a href="https://www.finearts.utexas.edu/aah/art_history/special_programs/latin_seminar/conferences.cfm">View Conference Information >></a></p> Sat, 07 Nov 2009 8:00:08 AM CST http://www.finearts.utexas.edu/events/detail.cfm?calset=aah&id=2357 <p>As part of the Guest Artist in Printmaking program, Chicago artist Tony Fitzpatrick will be in residence November 9-13, working in the Intaglio room (2.210) of the art building.

Born and raised in Mexico City, both are graphic designers, currently running the Department of Design as UnderConsideration’s creative services outlet. When not working, writing or obsessing about design, Armin lectures on a range of topics in a range of cities&#8212;Bryony allows it, and even joins him on occasions, like their last joint talk in Venice, Italy. Before establishing UnderConsideration Bryony and Armin had worked in the industry for ten years, accruing experience in various disciplines including corporate and brand identity, annual reports, business collateral, web design and programming, packaging, as well as magazine and book design. In their last employment positions they worked as senior designers for two of New York’s most prolific and recognized design firms, Addison and Pentagram, respectively. Their work has been recognized in numerous award publications and books, and they regularly serve on design juries for various national competitions as well. In 2006, one of their blogs was the only blog included in the Cooper-Hewitt’s National Design Triennial.</p> Sat, 07 Nov 2009 8:00:08 AM CST http://www.finearts.utexas.edu/events/detail.cfm?calset=aah&id=2155 <p>A light, sharp political humor infuses the photographs of Shannon Ebner, an artist from Los Angeles. Ebner's work centers on a do-it-yourself alphabet of handmade letters and signs temporarily placed—and strategically displaced—in public contexts. The artist sets language in the service of photography, her cryptic messages captured and fixed in black-and-white photographs. Populating actual yet uncertain landscapes or mise-en-scenes including California real estate sites, the La Brea Tar Pits, and the Washington Monument, these ephemeral signs spell out such darkly ambiguous phrases as "Landscape Incarceration," "The Doom," and "The Day-Sob-Dies."</p> <p>Ebner's work has been included in Trace at The Whitney Museum of American Art at Altria, Uncertain States of America at The Serpentine Gallery in London, Learn to Read at the Tate Modern, London and the 2008 Whitney Biennial.</p> Sat, 07 Nov 2009 8:00:08 AM CST http://www.finearts.utexas.edu/events/detail.cfm?calset=aah&id=2358 <p>As part of the Guest Artist in Printmaking program, Chicago artist <strong>Tony Fitzpatrick</strong> will be in residence November 9-13, working in the Intaglio room (2.210) of the art building.</p> <p>On Wednesday, November 11 at 5:00 PM, he will give a public lecture / performance in the art building auditorium (1.102).</p> <p>For more information about the artist: <a href="http://www.tonyfitzpatrick.com">www.tonyfitzpatrick.com</a></p> Sat, 07 Nov 2009 8:00:08 AM CST http://www.finearts.utexas.edu/events/detail.cfm?calset=aah&id=2421 <p><em><strong>Andrea Mantegna circa 1460: Imitation and the Force of Images</strong></em></p> <p>Andrea Mantegna (1430-1506) is examined as an artist with a distinctive consciousness of tradition. Tradition in his work encompasses the future of art, which he seeks actively to shape with his virtuoso demonstrations of the principles of painting and through his engravings. His art is also a meditation on its own place in relation to the past and present&#8212;the signa and imagines of antiquity, the icons of the medieval church, and the modern practice of older contemporaries like Donatello. Such meditations are all motivated by an extraordinary concentration on one aspect of images in particular&#8212;their force or effectiveness in the world.</p> Sat, 07 Nov 2009 8:00:08 AM CST http://www.finearts.utexas.edu/events/detail.cfm?calset=aah&id=2258 <p><em><strong>No Lone Zone</strong></em> is a performance exhibition series featuring past and present students from the Department of Art and Art History at the University of Texas at Austin.</p> <p>By definition a no-lone-zone is a military term often used in nuclear sites describing an area where individuals must be in visual contact with each other and with the object requiring a no-lone-zone area designation. The seven artists in this exhibition will examine the interpersonal intricacies of this militant security model through a series of performances exploring the spaces of the Creative Research Laboratory. During the extent of this exhibition, the CRL will be in a state of constant flux as participating artists manipulate, perform and transform the gallery into their own concept of a charged territory.</p> <p>Featured artists include:<br /> Mark Aguhar<br /> Andrea Bonin<br /> Kristina Felix<br /> Ryan Lauderdale<br /> Daphane Park<br /> James Willard Pierce<br /> Jen Frost Smith</p> <p>In conjunction with the exhibition, the Creative Research Lab will collaborate with participating artists to create a reading room adjacent to the main gallery, containing materials pertinent to their practice as performance artists, as well as to the history of the medium.</p> <p><strong>Exhibition Dates</strong><br /> November 14&#8211;December 19</p> <p><strong>Opening Reception</strong><br /> Saturday, November 14, 6-9 PM</p> <p><strong>CRL Gallery Hours</strong><br /> Tuesday – Saturday, 12-5 PM</p> Sat, 07 Nov 2009 8:00:08 AM CST http://www.finearts.utexas.edu/events/detail.cfm?calset=aah&id=2418 <p>This program will include an admission Q & A session, tour of the facilities, and portfolio reviews!
