The 2011 Texas Biennial, showcasing the work of 49 Texas artists, is on display in Austin, Houston and San Antonio. There are also 60 Biennial-inspired exhibitions running throughout the state, so put this on your calendar if you’re up for a little viewing pleasure.
The Texas Biennial runs through May 14, 2011. In Austin, you can catch parts of the exhibit at seven locations…make a day of it! Check out their Web site for more locations, dates and times.
Shannon Cannings is my favorite of the artists, by far.

Freaking awesome.
I’ve also come to realize that I don’t fully understand sculptural “installations”. I enjoy art that can be owned, but the idea of having something installed in a gallery (like a huge, statement-making, sculptural piece) doesn’t make sense to me. No one gets to take that home! /:
I think I need to broaden my horizons.
