 Figuratively Speaking
June 5 - 28
Fiber Art Space
1420 S. Alamo St. Space 202 "Figuratively Speaking" showcases the work of two artists, Pamela Hastings, and Rosie Rojas, who met because of their common interest in doll making as a transfomative process. They both have a history of using dolls to express deeply-emotional life passages. Neither artist is afraid to push the boundaries of sculptural exploration. These are NOT your pretty little curly-haired dollies, but boundary-stretching explorations in form and meaning, involving lush fabrics and intricate embellishment. www.fiberartspace.com |

 Veiled in Flesh, new work by Julia Barbosa Landois
June 6 - 20
Cactus Bra Space
106 C Blue Star
"Veiled in Flesh" takes place within an installation that includes artist-crafted objects, photographs and video stills. The artist will be on view in a plexiglass vitrine and available for subtle audience interaction. The exhibition references Catholic aesthetics of body display while examining the role of ritual in the face of acculturation, all with a feminist subtext. The performance component of "Veiled in Flesh" debuted last year in Philadelphia at Ice Box Project Space. This is the first showing in San Antonio. www.cactusbraspace.com |

"IS THIS city poised to take a bite out of Hollywood's bread and butter? A dramatically expanded state tax credit for film and television productions has made New York a more appealing shooting locale than ever, bringing a wave of projects into the city this summer. Barring an actors strike, local soundstages expect to have more demand than they can fill in the coming months." INTERNATIONAL Courting Donors, Finding FreedomNew York Times (06/04/08)
Michael Kimmelman
"Times have changed, especially in the money-mad art world, which has compelled even prideful Europeans to start trolling for cash. But attitudes, well, they have changed less. And in the performing arts, which lean most heavily on public subsidies, Europeans still maintain a general view that public support is a social covenant and moral obligation. They're reluctant to become too Americanized. "
