Two art happenings this weekend
Transparency Now: New Works by Hunter Cross
6 to 11 p.m., May 22, then by appointment
The East Village, 1200 E. Eleventh St.
Austin artist Hunter Cross stages an exhibit of his multi-media work. In the artist’s words:
‘The 4-5 works using overhead projectors, bingo chips and transparencies are an extension of this work: huntercross.com/art/stack/ I am using the layering of manufactured materials, in this case organizational stickers on glass, to work with, color, form and integrated lighting. In the new work I am replacing the organizational stickers with bingo discs stacked on overhead projectors, producing similar scale to my other works but through compressed means. Conceptually, the work becomes both an object and its image.’
