    Contact: Jennifer Cahn   (956) 542-0941   jcahn@brownsvillemfa.org
    Magical realism, human relationships and sado-masochism are just a few of the themes explored in The Medieval Meditations of Benjamin Domínguez at the Brownsville Museum of Fine Art through January 9.

Born in Jiménez, Chihuahua, in 1942, Benjamin Domínguez is famous for applying Renaissance painting techniques to a fascinating and startling concoction of contemporary subjects. His paintings, which have been exhibited around the world, depict a largely optimistic worldview colored by the darker realities of the present age.

“South Texas has an opportunity to showcase the work of one of Mexico’s greatest living artists,” said Barry Horn, the Museum’s executive director. “The theme of recalled dreams will challenge viewers to explore their own subconscious.”

The Museum will premier fifteen new paintings as well as Dominguez’ famous Arnolfini Series of 1985. The Arnolfini Series was inspired by the iconic image of artist Jan Van Eyck’s Giovanni Arnolfini and His Bride (double portrait, painted in 1434).

The exhibition is made possible by partnership with the Brownsville Museum of Fine Art, the Secretaria de Relaciones Exteriores, the City of Brownsville and the Mexican Consulate of Brownsville.

misc_none BMFA Establishes Memorial Fund to Honor Late Director Remind Me about this Event Download Event Info Tell a Friend
    Contact: Will Everett   956-542-0941   will.everett@brownsvillemfa.org
    The Brownsville Museum of Fine Art has created a memorial fund to honor the legacy of its late executive director, Barry T. Horn, who died this October 23, 2009.

The memorial fund, which will be administered by the museum, will support a public art program throughout the City of Brownsville. The fund will encourage the installation of artwork in a wide range of public locations.

The fund will support projects that promote a culture of creativity and encourage new and emerging artists. Such projects will serve as visual reminders of Horn’s life-long desire to make art relevant and accessible to all people.

“Barry strongly believed that art should be available to all,” said Eddie Knebel, board president. “The Museum has the opportunity to perpetuate Barry’s legacy through an endowment that will bear his name and honor his ideals.”

The memorial fund was created at a meeting on Tuesday of the museum’s Board of Trustees. George Ramirez, owner of Polibrid Coatings, attended the meeting and presented a $10,000 check to the museum to be used by the fund.

“I want this contribution to serve as a challenge to everyone who believes in Barry’s vision for the arts in Brownsville,” Ramirez said. “The recent city budget issues have created divisiveness among cultural organizations here. We need to stand together during this tragic time.”

Ramirez also serves as president of the Brownsville Society for the Performing Arts.

To contribute to the memorial fund in honor of Barry T. Horn, contact Linda Marin, Interim Executive Director, at (956) 542-0941.

Ricky Armendariz is a professor of art at The University of Texas at San Antonio. He was born and raised in El Paso, TX and the romantic Southwest landscape of the region is revealed through many of his paintings. Armedariz’s works are mainly created using oil and acrylic and polycrylic paint with carved birch plywood.

Wendy Hauschildt, originally from Wisconsin, is a graphic designer and owner of Blue Starfish Designs in Port Isabel, TX, where she works on graphic arts and Web development. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from The University of Texas at San Antonio. For Hauschildt, painting is a very therapeutic and meditative experience driven by her need to understand life’s lessons through the process of creation.

    Contact: Omar Rodriguez   956-207-0940   manichaus@gmail.com
    Join us for a Double Solo Exhibition by painters Claudia Berenice Garza and Gogo Glez at ManicHaus, Modern Art Space!

Opening reception 6pm to 10pm on Friday, November 6, 2009 at 1301-B North Main Street, McAllen, Texas.

Artists will be exhibiting new and recent work.

Gogo's work:
My paintings are the result of images that come to my mind and project themselves in front of my eyes. Everything begins with color, and takes form through experimentation; this provokes in me an effect of freedom that allows for the paints to flow and go to unexpected and undetermined paths. “Esencias” reflects my liking of free, unattached strokes, soaked with rebelliousness or spontaneity, without turning into a fortuitous act. The essence of my work is the freedom of my imagination, which is the beginning, the passage to a constant flow.

Claudia's work:
For “Esencias”, my work evolves from abstract photographs to abstracts of the same. All of my abstract photographs are taken with paintings in mind, which now come together through colors and shapes not found or barely seen in those images. I present their essence, as I interpret it through basic forms and colors that I feel reflect those passed moments. This process gives me the freedom to play and detach myself from the colors, forms, and compositions found in reality. www.manichaus.com

    Contact: Jack Carroll   956-872-2639   jfcarroll@southtexascollege.edu
    On November 18 & 19, 2009 at 8:00 PM, Euripedes’ tragic heroine, MEDEA, will appear in the Cooper Center’s Black Box Studio Theatre located at South Texas College’s Pecan Campus. The story of a good wife and mother, jilted by her husband for a younger woman, is as relevant today as it was 2,500 years ago when the play competed for first prize in the annual theatre festival in honor of the god, Dionysus. Recommended for mature high school students and adults, the play, which runs about an hour, will be followed by an open discussion with the company members and the audience. All tickets are $1.00.

Under the direction of the Coordinator of Theatre Support Services, Amanda Sasser, the cast includes Mayra Ochoa-Medea, Enrique Angulo-Jason, Alex Gellman-Creon, Robert De Hoyos-Aegeus, Mark Gonzalez-Tutor, Oscar Eduardo Mejia-Messenger, and Cecilia Molina-Chorus Leader. Chorus members include Tiffany Anderson, Jasmin Coddington, Christina Escobedo, Tiffany Fox and Dora Sifuentes. Joel Morales III is Stage Manager. Crew members include students from the Theatre Practicum class and members of the STC community: Erasmo Cuba, Brenda Garcia, Dan Roman, Gina Marie Hinojosa, Hazel Arellano, Juan Lozano and Tania Martinez.

This production marks the formal introduction of STC’s Black Box Theatre, a unique, flexible performance space seating approximately 100 audience members. For MEDEA director Sasser chose arena seating which places the audience on all four sides of the dramatic action. “Technically, it’s been a real challenge to stage a play surrounded by the audience,” says Sasser.

Tickets for MEDEA may be reserved by phoning Dr. Jack Carroll, Coordinator of the Drama Program, at (956) 872-2639. They will also be on sale at the door one hour prior to the performances.

    When a full-time faculty member adds a play direction assignment to his current load, he is bound to be busy. But Dr. Eric Wiley of UTPA's University Theatre Productions, adds another role to play in the theatre's next offering. Wiley, an associate professor in the Communication Department is directing a play that he also wrote.

Wiley is well-remembered for his last play, Late Bloomers, which was a huge hit a couple of years ago. That play was about Winter Texans living in a trailer park. His current play also has a local setting. Titled The Red and the Blue, it deals with a group of people of various political shades of red and blue, who wind up in Part Mansfield together under unusual circumstances. Port Mansfield is a small fishing town on the Laguna Madre east of Raymondville.

This will be the first production of the new play, which Wiley completed this summer. The fist performance is scheduled for November 18 at 8 PM in the Albert L. Jeffers Theatre on the Edinburg campus. The performances run through the rest of the week, culminating in a matinee at 2 PM on Sunday November 22.

When asked what he found most challenging about writing and directing a new play, Dr. Wiley replied, “It’s difficult to keep the writing from getting confused with the directing work, but it’s important that the actors have a stable script.”

In addition to all these obligations, Wiley also serves as coordinator of the Masters program in theatre at the university.

For further information or to reserve tickets, call the Box Office during regular university hours at 956-381-3581. The box office opens one hour before each performance. No children under third grade will be admitted to this play.

Tickets range in price from $12 for reserved seating, $8 general admission, $3 non-UTPA students and faculty to two free admissions with each valid UTPA ID.
