20 to Watch - Austin Museum of Art

I went to see a group exhibition of new art at the Austin Museum of Art in Texas. The show represented the work of twenty local (or semi-local?) artists, and this is a brief glance at my three favorites.
Sarah Sudhoff 's "Repository" series of photographs documents her diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer.

Yoon Cho 's 3 minute performance video "Hair" shows the artist and her husband getting the same haircut, exploring the process of assimilation.


Jules Buck Jones 's deliciously surfaced alligator drawings, positively prehistoric in scale, play with classical drawing, and semi-abstract pattern making.

An excellent show, and I'm always happy to see art I might not get to otherwise.
