Augusto di Stefano, Untitled, 2002.
Appealing stuff by Augusto di Stefano, who was selected for the Dallas Museum of Art's 2003 "Come Forward" emerging-artist review and is currently showing (with DC's favorite son Dan Steinhilber and Ess Eff's Rosana Castrillo Díaz) in Tyler Green's exhibition for DCKT Contemporary, "In My Empire Life Is Sweet." In early 2006 di Stefano will do a stint at the artpace gallery artist-in-residence program in San Antonio, which has been know to pick the winner in the past. Curiously: no mention of di Stefano on Glasstire.
Apologies for the link overkill—and yet (outside this spare Artforum mention) none of them is really about Augusto di Stefano. He doesn't show often outside Texas and Texas isn't talking him up. Both of those counts really ought to change.
OF COURSE: Gov. Rick Perry's Texport will probably blow up first.

Peace. --s
