I’LL BE YOUR MIRROR: ART IN THE DIGITAL SCREEN

“Screen time” is one of those phrases now part of modern life, and this thematic exhibition — paintings, sculpture, video, photographs and more — looks at its impact on art for the past 50 years. Notable works include Nam June Paik’s Video Flag Y, a mass grouping of 10-inch TV sets, LaserDisc players (the hot technology of the time) and videotapes, and digital artist Jon Rafman’s photographic print of a Google Street View image made in Austin.

LAST CHANCE JUSTIN GINSBERG: SHAKING THE SHADOW

Texas-based artist Justin Ginsberg took inspiration from the Sargent, Whistler, and Venetian Glass exhibition to create a glass sculptural work. Thousands of pulled glass threads, some up to 30 feet in length, make up this piece, which resulted in a large-scale “waterfall” sculpture.

THEATER

LONESOME BLUES

Blind Lemon Jefferson is a musical legend and a bit of an enigma. The sightless bluesman discovered in Dallas on a Deep Ellum street corner in 1925 proceeded to make more than 80 records in the next four years (he died in December 1929). Jefferson inspired countless blues, jazz and rock musicians. Writers Alan Govenar and Akin Babatunde wrote an earlier musical about his life; this follow-up uses monologues and music to dig deeper into the singer’s life and psyche.

GALLERIES

THE SPACE BETWEEN MATT CLARK & WILLIAM GREINER

A road trip through Texas to New Mexico gave birth to this collaboration between Fort Worth painter Matt Clark and photographer William Greiner. Clark added acrylic patterns — lines, dots, patterns — to Greiner’s nature photography to create this unusual mixed-medium exhibition. Each artist also will have individual work on exhibit: “Look West” by Greiner; “Sacred Spaces” by Clark.
