3. Devon Nowlin: Familiar Strangers
Artspace 111 (Fort Worth)
September 8 – October 6
Read our review of the show here.
“Devon Nowlin’s exhibition Familiar Strangers features a new series of paintings that combine complex elements into surreal figurative compositions. The artist states, ‘I am investigating the deepening rift between the past and the present; between an era of collective aspirations with an era of corporately manufactured desires. Simultaneously, the inclusion of seemingly disparate references act to collapse or confuse timelines and complicate any straightforward interpretation of narrative.’”

October 7, 3-4PM
Learn more about Photographs with an Audience here.
“In Photographs with an Audience, Clifford Owens poses questions and prompts to the audience and they agree to respond by allowing Owens to photograph them. Owens will print a selection of photographs from the performance for his upcoming exhibition at Artpace.”

I heart Glasstire Top Five, and watch almost every edition, though I haven’t lived in Texas since 2011.
Texas still has the best art scene in the country, and the Glasstire folks are so down-to-earth and savvy and entertaining and somehow have a handle on what’s happening in every corner of a very large state with amazing things happening in every corner.
Just wanted to give a pubic shout-out.
Keep fighting the good fight, Glasstire.
