  Hello Studio hosts a screening of two videos written, recorded, and produced by Joe Raymond Vega, formerly of the band Xry.

  Jayne Lawrence: "Infestation" 5/18

   

  Stemming from Lawrence’s infatuation with the concept of space: inside, outside, illusionistic, real, imagined, occupied, and unoccupied, “Infestation” uses the architecture of nature as inspiration to examine the way an idea can manifest over time.

  International Artist-in-Residence: "New Works 13.1" 5/18 12:00PM

   

  Recently named director of the Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art in Portugal, Melbourne-born Suzanne Cotter has worked as Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation Curator for the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi Project. As guest curator at Artpace, Cotter selected the first trio for the institution’s 2013 International Artist-in-Residence cycle. Famous for a sense of humor T magazine described as “morbid, deadpan and frequently gory,” Tehran, Iran’s Tala Madani puts a cartoonish twist on tragedy in her paintings and silent animations. Performance, photography, and sculpture factor into native New Yorker Adam Putnam’s investigations into our relationships with space. Known to incorporate unusual materials into textural works, Austin’s J. Parker Valentine strays from the norm with a new project that uses light to cast “drawings on the gallery wall.”

  Adrian Rumbaut: "Icons" 5/18 1:00PM

   

  Much like author Mo Chorfi, Cuban artist Adrian Rumbaut found creative inspiration in the relentless commodification of Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962) and Ernesto “Che” Guevara (1928-1967). While Morfi’s novel Marilyn and El Che in the Mirror of Love and Death sends a JFK-obsessed Monroe to meet Guevara on a mission to rectify the Bay of Pigs, Rumbaut’s multimedia forays (including the inter-related projects Contraparte and Diagramas Pictóricos) package the pair as  something of a power couple. Fused together in layered portraits and conceptual fashion designs, it’s hard to tell where her Hollywood ends and his revolution begins. Launching with a Cuban-themed preview party ($75-$90, 6-9pm Thursday), “Icons” imports Rumbaut’s intriguing studies in “visual duality” to Bihl Haus Arts.

  Brook Rosser: "See You in the Spring" 5/18 12:00PM

   

  Inspired by Mexican folk art collected by her mother and grandmother, artist and educator Brook Rosser employs a mixture of painting, drawing, and decoupage to create works that are soothing to the eye but hold tremendous depth and complexity. According to Rosser, the story her work tells is "full of beauty, pain, hope and miracles." At the opening reception: margaritas, an art talk at 7pm, and music by DJ JJ.
