Of a Technical Nature is a group exhibition that explores the increasingly integrative relationship between natural and technological systems and questions where this evolving relationship might take us.
Presenting works from AMOA-Arthouse’s collection, as well as work by local, national, and international emerging and mid-career artists, the exhibition will touch on themes of optimism and unease related to technological progress, invention, and evolution while also calling attention to the diminishing barrier between nature and technology.
Artists in Of a Technical Nature include: Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Steve Brudniak, Peat Duggins, Buckminster Fuller, Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg, Jessica Halonen, Young-Min Kang, Phillip Makanna, Jamie Panzer, Lordy Rodriguez, Rick Silva, Joel Sternfeld, and Barry Stone. Stone will also have a curated project featured in the upcoming issue of zingmagazine, set for release this Spring.
Of a Technical Nature is organized by AMOA-Arthouse and curated by Sean Ripple, curatorial assistant.

AMOA-Arthouse Advanced Young Artists Gallery Opening
Last night was the opening of the Advanced Young Artists show at the Austin Museum of Art-Arthouse. The turn out was fantastic, and the show looked GREAT. I was so proud to be a part of it.
Myself and my wonderful man, Brent.

I believe the opening is April 16. Try and stop by!
Stylish and Modern Exhibitions at The Jones Center
While students, professionals and more flock to 6th Street to partake in celebratory activities, a calmer destination boasting an alluring array of attractions waits nearby. The Jones Center, AMOA-Arthouse’s downtown museum space, sits right in the heart of downtown Austin on West 7th Street and Congress Avenue. Visitors can take advantage of the center’s current and upcoming exhibitions focusing on contemporary and modern art. Some events featuring extraordinary artistic works to look out for (one is even fashion-related!) at The Jones Center location include:
“Nick Cave: Hiding in Plain Sight” - on view until Feb. 24.

Nick Cave, a Chicago-based visual and performance artist, fashioned pieces blending global artistic traditions currently on show at The Jones Center. In addition to intriguing the eye, Cave’s “Soundsuits” (faceless suits that make sounds when worn and moved) were also created in response to social injustices and racial profiling. Ten of Cave’s works, from sequins and bead-based designs to video pieces and a wall structure, are on display at the museum.
“Andy Coolquitt: Attainable Excellence” – on view until Feb. 24.

On The Jones Center’s second floor, visitors can find an exhibit featuring Andy Coolquitt’s works made of objects found on streets. From metal tubing to empty bottles to paper bags, the University of Texas at Austin graduate’s pieces allude to homelessness while simultaneously evoking a sense of interiority and domesticity. Sixty of Coolquitt’s sculptures and tableaux created between 2006 and 2011, including those possessing the dichotomous nature of homelessness and domesticity, will be on show.
The Jones Center is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and is closed on Mondays.
