I realize I just wrote about the Rubin Center, but I just learned about an opening they are having tomorrow (Nov 10) with a performancGae by one of the artists so I thought I would mention it, along with something else they are doing.
Artists Amor Munoz and Galia Eibenshutz, both from Mexico City, are opening a show called Conductores, which explores not only the conduction of energy, but specifically draws attention to that most basic of forms-the line. Both seem to be involved in inclusion of the viewer, and Eibenschutz ( according to the press release) wants to show that the line is not something static, but alive. At the opening, Galia will, in fact, be having a performance at 5:30. According to her CV, Eibenschutz has also extensively studied dance and performance art so it should be interesting to see what she can do. It also appears that the next day is her birthday so early wishes are in order. The opening itself is scheduled to run from 5-7:30. If you can’t make it, the show is scheduled to run through January 21.
I also want to call attention to a call the Center is making for a residency in Electronic Arts. This is in conjunction with Cybershare program also at UTEP. the gist of the residency is that a work is to be commissioned which will be on a visualisation wall which is designed to foster appreciation for science, technology and mathematics, and which will also be used to foster community outreach. The artist must have an MFA, PhD or be able to show equivalent experience in technology based art. The deadline is Dec. 12, and more and perhaps more coherent information can be seen at rubincenter.utep.edu and click on residency for visual arts. David Sokolec
