Bad-faith readings of other people’s intentions are built into their thinking.

Menchaca keeps expanding their vision and method.

"The new position of Chief Curator needs a unique blend of curatorial expertise, community engagement know-how, and Afrocentric knowledge. Christopher brings all of these to the table and much more."

We are divided people — divided from one another, and ourselves.

I was looking for the motivation I used to find in watching Frank Serpico move into his place, and over a handful of years, fill it with the things he loves.

The Dallas Art Fair’s inability to reimburse the galleries even a part of their expense is a triple whammy for the participating galleries, and it could be cataclysmic for some.

Not getting to see art in person has gone from feeling like a temporary and honorable discomfort to a kind of psychic pain I didn’t predict.

Artists are responsive, and survivors, and will make art. For the sake of our own wellbeing and humanity, we need to see that art. Glasstire can and does show it.

The show of 1990s fashion at the McNay in San Antonio makes me wonder if, even as the digital revolution has sped things up, our collective progress has slowed tremendously.

Art is great, but so is nature, and food, and movies, and books.

Mr. Galbreth’s influence on and contributions to the growth of Houston’s robust art scene cannot be overstated.

I attended CineMarfa back in May. It was my second year to attend the tiny annual film festival held in its namesake town, and I’m so impressed with the instincts…

La precisión con que acomodan cada chaquira es increíble. Una curadora me dijo que los artesanos huicholes trabajan sin plantillas. Empiezan así nada más, a mano alzada, igual que los grandes músicos de jazz improvisan sobre la escala dórica.

If the fair displaces longstanding galleries with newcomers who don’t return, what would lure back the loyal-but-spurned galleries?

Huichol artists work without templates. They just go at it, free-hand, like great jazz players improving off the Dorian minor scale.

I gravitate to HCCC despite my own bullishness regarding art and craft as separate worlds, but I think that’s a testament to everything HCCC gets right.

I think Ruby's impulse is limited to making cool-looking shit, so I’m often mystified by his seemingly unchecked success.

You could make the mistake of believing that these paintings happened overnight, but anyone who’s made a leap forward in their own work knows that it takes years of private pushing to finally get a breakthrough.

Clever artists who had some ironic or absurd fun with Instagram in the beginning are tired of producing its content for it. Good.
