We are quickly approaching the celebration of our grand opening of the 2009 Texas Biennial coming this MARCH 6th, 7th & 8th. The 2009 Texas Biennial is the third of its kind since it’s inception in 2005. With each exhibition, the Biennial project has provided a fresh perspective on the scope of Texas contemporary art. This year is no different and should provide the people of Texas and beyond with rewarding and enriching visual arts experiences for its 5-week run in 6 gallery venues and 7 outdoor spaces.
In the same independent spirit as years past, the 2009 Texas Biennial will encourage conversations amongst artists, curators, writers and art lovers alike. Partnering with our guest curator, Michael Duncan, the Texas Biennial will represent 73 artists total this Spring; 61 Group Exhibition artists split into 2 themed exhibitions at Women & Their Work and the new gallery at the Mexican American Cultural Center, 4 Regional Solo artists at MASS Gallery, Big Medium, Pump Project Art Complex, and Okay Mountain, 7 Temporary Outdoor artists sprinkled throughout Austin parkland, and 1 Tribute artist whose work will be woven into the 2 Group Exhibition spaces.
