tonight: it's first friday at railroad square again!
it seems like i was just down at railroad square checking out first friday, but apparently that was already a month ago! time sure flies when it's the short month of february!
among the festivities, tonight offers an opening reception at big bend contemporary for tina sue larkin of "music and art beyond boundaries," an educational program for children and adults. larkin's two-dimensional mixed media wall art will be on display along side the photography of wendy riley, as well as works by lisa conn and clint shaw. the four person show, titled "perception" will be on display all month.
over at gallery 621, look for "put together," an exhibit featuring ceramics by charles birnbaum (ny), multi-media fiber works by jeana eve klein (nc), and subversive needlework+beadwork by chicago's marcy sperry. running through the works is a common theme of how one assembles elements to construct identity and meaning.
more multi-media work will be featured at humidity gallery, where vicki niolet will display work combining clay and found-objects culled from katrina debris.
finally, my personal reasons for going tonight instead of visiting the above shows at less crowded times: the live music of ha-ha-hospital at krank it up bike co-op, and the simply divine overflowing plateful vegetarian indian fare (i recommend the half order at $3 as opposed to the $5 full order version).
