"Michelle Cate: Hipsta-Addict" (29 Mar 2012)

Thu, 29 Mar 2012 04:00:00 GMT

Opening reception:

2-3 p.m., Sunday, April 22

         Beginning March 29 through June 3, 2012, Café Arts presents Michelle Cate: Hipsta-Addict.
         Photographer Michelle Cate used a Hipstamatic Application on her iPhone to create this body of work.
         "The app allows you to do black and white, or faded or sepia tone, anything and you can choose it or let it choose for you," said Cate.
         It can be compared to taking pictures with a toy camera. The random coloring of textures, borders or hues occur with using the app. According to the artist, the unpredictability of the process is part of the fun.

"Collection in Reflection: 10 Years of Acquisitions" (30 Jun 2012)

Sat, 30 Jun 2012 04:00:00 GMT

Each summer, AMSET organizes an exhibition focusing specifically on the research and interpretation of the permanent collection. Subjects explored in previous years have ranged from photorealist paintings and prints to folk art sculpture. In 2012, AMSET will feature an exhibition that examines the museum’s acquisitions for the past 10 years. Collection in Reflection will explore the museum’s collecting focus and assess both individually and collectively the featured works. As AMSET has grown into maturity, so has the focus of its collecting. The areas of concentration have evolved to include modern and contemporary American art with a focus on the Texas region, including painting, prints, photography, sculpture, as well as contemporary folk art and a core collection of earlier 19th and 20th century works that can provide context in which to view later work.
