No American Talent 4: Bayanihan

Okay Mountain

Opening Reception, April 18, 7-10pm

Bayanihan, the fourth installment of our international “No American Talent” series, is a new show of artists from the Philippines curated by Mountaineer Tim Brown. The title refers to a term with many meanings—Bayanihan can be a place, like a town, state or nation, but it can also be a spirit of community shared between people that literally means “being a hero to one another.” In this show, we present a varied group of 9 emerging artists who address this complex word and the relationship they share with their families, their city, their country, and each other.

Megan Geckler: Straddle the line, in discord and rhyme

Women and Their Work Gallery

Opening Reception, April 11, 6-8 pm

Each of Geckler's site-specific installations are unique and are created in direct response to the space and its architecture. They are crafted on-site and are never duplicated. The work remarkably resembles Austin's very own wunderkind Becca Ward, and we're feeling a little protective of our own...but hey, what do we know.

Do you Believe in Art?

Domy Books

Through April 19

Susan kae Grant, Paul Greenberg & Kate Rivers

Conduit Gallery

Through April 25

Susan Kae Grant's shadow pictures are eerily playful. For her show at Conduit, she has transformed the entire gallery through an installation of large scale digital images, cast shadows and "psycho-acoustic" sound. Like a haunted house for grown-ups.

Meanwhile, Paul Greenberg presents a series of panoramic views of museum interiors, focusing on the museum guards who inhabit each gallery. Finally, Conduit's project space displays collaged nest forms by Kate Rivers.

Darryl Lauster

Barry Whistler Gallery

Through April 11

Tomorrow is the last day to see Darryl Lauster's work at Barry Whistler. Last week, Franklin Sirmans listed Lauster as one of eight Texas-based artists who deserves broader recognition. So if you're in the Metroplex, get your butt over there.

Far from the Madding Crowd
