12:00 - 12:45 PM
Author: Jessica Mallios, Susan Scafati, and Adam Schreiber
Location: The Contemporary Austin--Jones Center (700 Congress)
What does it take to make art that is more than a painting on a wall? Art that is immersive, larger than life, and completely captures the complexities of the imagination? Journey into the minds of the artists behind The Contemporary Austin exhibition and accompanying catalog Strange Pilgrims-- an exhibition that reflects the complicated human journey through strange and unfamiliar spaces.
Lakes Were Rivers:
Since the group’s formation in 2008, Lakes Were Rivers artists have exhibited together several times, including with Fotofest, Houston (2010) and at Vanderbilt University (2012) and most recently the Contemporary Austin which commissioned Swan Cycle, a video and exhibition of photographs, exhibited at Laguna Gloria as a part of the multi-site group show, Strange Pilgrims. In 2011, they initiated the first of two exhibitions undertaken in collaboration with the Harry Ransom Center at The University of Texas. For the first time, the artists culled the Ransom Center’s photography collections and paired historical images with their own original works in the exhibition (Re)Collection (2011-12), organized for the East Austin Studio Tour. The Harry Ransom Center then invited the collective to expand the project through a second exhibition in the center’s galleries. The result, Contemporary Photographic Practice and the Archive (2013), displayed approximately fifty new works together with a variety of images and objects from the Ransom Center archives. Lakes Were Rivers won an Idea Fund Grant from the Warhol Foundation and the Austin Chronicle’s Best Photographers award in 2011. Lakes Were Rivers is Leigh Brodie, Elizabeth Chiles, Anna Krachey, Jessica Mallios, Sarah Murphy, Mike Osborne, Jason Reed, Ben Ruggiero, Adam Schreiber, Susan Scafati Shahan and Barry Stone.
