UTSA Satellite Space Exhibit Depicts European Border Culture
(Aug. 31, 2001)--Drawings by University of Texas at San Antonio art professor
Ken Little will be part of an exhibit at the Satellite Space in the Blue Star Arts
Complex September 7-30.
The exhibit will feature works by Little and two other local artists that
were completed during their participation in the Border Exchange program,
a six-week cultural tour of the borders of Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic.
The exhibit will also feature photographs by Chuck Ramirez and sculptures
by Roland Rodriguez. The three accomplished local artists were chosen for
the program because their art reflects various aspects of the Mexican, Mexican-American
and Anglo cultures in South Texas. Works by the three American artists premiered
in Goerlitz, Germany.
The program was designed to investigate the similarities and differences of
artistic perceptions between two border regions, as well as providing an artistic
and academic exchange between artists in Europe and San Antonio.
As part of the Border Exchange program, European artists came to San Antonio
last year to produce art works about Mexican border culture, filtered through
European impression.
The exhibit will open Sept. 7, 6-9 pm. Admission to the exhibit is free, and
open to the public. UTSA Satellite Space hours are Friday-Sunday, 12-6 p.m.
The Satellite Space is located at 115 Blue Star in the Blue Star Arts Complex
on South Alamo Street at Probandt. For more information, call (210) 212-7146.
