Frommer's Review

San Antonio's contemporary art gallery features rotating shows displaying the work of artists selected by a guest curator for 2-month residencies at the facility. One artist must be from Texas, one from anywhere else in the United States, and one from anywhere else in the world. The result has been a fascinating mélange, including everything from twists on the traditional -- such as a monumental drawing of a winter landscape populated by men in black tracksuits, a lenticular print (an image that shows depth and motion when the viewing angle changes) in which the Alamo vanishes before one's eyes -- to the more cutting edge: an installation of 5,500 pounds of airplane parts or rooftop speakers that sing until the sun sets. Lecture series by the artists as well as public forums to discuss the work have also helped make this a very stimulating art space.
