| Conceived in 1994 by Craighead Green Gallery, New Texas Talent is designed to introduce and promote emerging visual artists in the commercial market. This year over 1,000 image s were submitted for review by a gallery selected juror. The juror then independently selects artists to participate in the New Texas Talent exhibition. Through their participation in the show, some artists have been offered representation by galleries and/or have been extended invitations for inclusion in future exhibitions. The exhibition, and its participants, have also received media exposure in such publications as A+C Magazine, D Magazine, The Dallas Morning News, and the Fort Worth Star- Telegram. One artist that exemplifies the success allowed by participation in NTT is Marla Ziegler who has been with Craighead Green for over 15 years. Ziegler has received national and international acclaim for her work in Ceramics since her association with the Gallery. This year’s juror, Thomas Feulmer, Director of Education at Rachofsky House, reviewed over 1,000 image s and selected 43 works by 28 artists to be in the upcoming exhibition. The selections are diverse including paintings, sculpture, photography and installations. Feulmer has brought a fresh perspective to NTT that reflects what is going on in the art community in the state of Texas . As stated by Feulmer: "The work in the New Texas Talent show at Craighead Green is made by young - in years, experience, or exposure - artists who are actively engaged with contemporary life. They seem excited, frustrated, or confused by their surroundings. In many works, there is a kind of Pop sensibility where artists directly address the everyday, mass culture, or pre-existing imagery. Other less-representational works have a kind of nervous energy about the very fact of making formal or abstract work in the 21st century. At times the work is not polished, but the ideas and the efforts are sincere, and this is where true culture – as the site where humans grapple for meaning – is born." About the Juror: Thomas Feulmer is an artist and art educator. From 2002- 2004, he worked at The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, and since 2004 he has been working as Director of Educational Programming at The Rachofsky House. He has been a member of 500X Gallery since 2008, and has been included in group shows at Road Agent Gallery and Marty Walker Gallery . Feulmer recently co-curated (with Christina Rees) Modern Ruin, a two-day exhibition in a never-used WaMu bank building. Feulmer has done an exceptional job of choosing a great selection of Texas artist for our 2010 exhibition. We hope you will attend the opening. Saturday July 31, 11AM - 8PM, artists and Thomas Feulmer in attendance 5 – 8 PM. |
