ENLACE
Waves of Mystery

Presented in collaboration with
Studio Arts Gallery (Del Rio, Texas)

Shown concurrently with Sin Tema Invitational Exhibition

Opening reception with the artists:

Saturday, January 10, 2004 (6 PM to 8 PM)

Featuring musician/percussionist Marco Antonio Diaz Calderon and writer/poet Blanca Irene Lozano Aguirre

The artists featured in this exhibition are representing the Del Rio area and vicinity. This show displays the works of 7 artists from this isolated Texas area.

The artists offer a view, a perspective and an expression of the vague vastness that is their geographic area. The contrast that opposites the structural awesomeness from a small town to that of the big city.

One of the uniqueness identifying the Del Rio border surroundings is the obvious distant separation from everyone and everywhere. The artists are placed one hundred and fifty miles away from a substantial size city. They are positioned in the middle of a purple sage terrestrial galaxy. Between this lavender brush, mostly at night and in the moonlight, the many stories of some real and some invisible people secretly happen away from the rest of the busy world.

There are questions about their section of land, and its dwellers, and its wonderers, and some of its peculiar history. The artist are very well positioned to express that mystery.

Artists:

Irene Aguirre Arista, Martha Gonzalez-Stitts, Adrián Jesús Falcón, Rudy Peña, Manuel Retana, Cris Escobar and Gustavo Gonzalez.
