On my next trip to Dallas I'm taking a brief sidebar vacation down to Austin to splash around in the river and play in the sunshine. Turns out, the Texas Biennial will be in full swing by the time I'm in town. Sounds great—so long as the Texas Biennial is serving margaritas, I'll drag my flipflopped feet to the galleries. (Confidential to TXBi: Could you throw some HTML at this list of artists? Some linkage, something?)
TXBi is showing at stops like Okay Mountain and Bolm Studios, which led me to wonder what the Austin Museum of Art was exhibiting. "The Paper Sculpture Show"—organized by Cabinet, Independent Curators International (iCI), and the Sculpture Center—is not terribly disappointing: "the viewer/reader is invited to assemble three-dimensional sculptures from flat pages designed by 29 established and emerging contemporary artists." Why you'd want to see these in a museum when you can buy The Paper Sculpture Book and DIY, I don't know.
