Systematic Paradox is an exhibition that engages with concepts of chaos and order. Working in a variety of media, some of the artists locate order within the complexity of nature, language, or line, while others take an existing order and disrupt it. Systematic Paradox evokes thoughts of topography, nature, and growth, inviting the viewer to chart this terrain in ways that are at times organic, circular, or systematic.

Graphite on Paper
On View Now
This exhibit is a celebration of drawing. Using graphite on paper as its thematic current, a full range of artistic processes are shown in the form of preliminary drawings, sketchbooks, doodles, and refined and "finished" works. With a wide breadth of approaches to the materials, the humility of the familiar paper and pencil in the hands of each of these artists illustrate infinite creative possibilities.

Graphite on Paper
Curated by René Treviño
November 12-December 31, 2010
Main Gallery
Opening reception, November 12, 2010, 6 to 9pm

A group exhibition of artists who employ graphite on paper in their practice, this exhibit will be a celebration of drawing. Since this show is using Graphite on Paper as it’s thematic current, preliminary drawings, sketchbooks, doodles as well as refined and “finished” works will be included. Matted and framed work under glass will hang beside sculptural work, video pieces and drawings that are thumb tacked to the walls. Graphite and paper are merely the starting point. The goal is an exhibit that has a wide breadth of approaches to the materials…humble materials that everyone has a basic understanding of, but materials that hold infinite possibilities.
