SUMMARY:Carolyn Sortor: Infrathin 29.401248 x -98.485324
DESCRIPTION:June 13 – July 3\, 2015 \nThe “infrathin” as conceived by Marcel Duchamp and adapted by Kenneth Goldsmith is utilized as a vehicle/pretext for more or less responsible explorations/spoofings relating to location\, national and other boundaries\, and the apparently fictive distinctions among various dimensions (2-\, 3-\, 4- and 5-D\, inside v. outside\, then v. now\, etc.) The works to be shown at Epitome are from a larger body of work but are specifically selected and in some cases created for the particular venue. \nCarolyn Sortor’s practice includes video\, relational strategies\, and curation. She has a B.F.A. purchased from Ben Britt and is working on an artificial M.F.A. Her work has been shown in New York\, San Francisco\, Dallas\, Austin\, and elsewhere\, and in 2013 she received the Dallas Observer Mastermind award. Recent projects have included curating the Dallas Medianale: Existential Virtuality (2015); Seismic Hive (2009-14)\, a solo exhibition at The Reading Room\, Dallas with composite videos and images printed on vintage seismic graph paper from the Los Alamos National Laboratory; Transmembrane Pressure (2014)\, a performance broadcast live via Google Hangouts for the Santa Fe International New Media Festival; organizing and directing the first Expanded Cinema (2012)\, a program of new video art works created for the 999 x 193′ LED screen wrapping the Omni Dallas Hotel with audio simulcast on KXT 91.7 FM; art as social wormhole (2013-ongoing)\, an “artificial MFA” course/reading group in aesthetic texts relating to art’s power to influence reality; the OccuLibrary (2011-13)\, a rolling collaboration creating aesthetically-informed reincarnations of the libraries destroyed when Occupy camps across the U.S. were evicted; and The Wedding Project (2011)\, in which she and her husband were married and their 150 guest-participants dressed as brides or wore white\, forming a human screen onto which one of two videos she made was projected.

SUMMARY:Jeff Gibbons and Gregory Ruppe: Necrotic Black Black Swimming Pool With A Heavy Mossy Surface Film
DESCRIPTION:March 14 – April 25\, 2015 \nInto the manifold open wounds the cold drifted\, all the way down into the heart of things\, the core which made them alive. What he saw had seemed to be a desert of ice from which stark boulders jutted. A wind spewed across the plain which reality had become; the wind congealed into deeper ice\, and the boulders disappeared for the most part. And darkness presented itself off at the edges of his vision; he caught only a meager glimpse of it. But\, he thought\, this is projection on my part. It isn’t the universe which is being entombed by layers of wind\, cold\, darkness and ice; all this is going on within me\, and yet I seem to see it outside. Strange\, he thought. Is the whole world inside me? Engulfed by my body? When did that happen? It must be a manifestation of dying\, he said to himself. The uncertainty which I feel\, the slowing down into entropy — that’s the process\, and the ice which I see is the result of the success of the process. When I blink out\, he thought\, the whole universe will disappear. But what about the various lights which I should see\, the entrances to new wombs? Where in particular is the red smokey light of fornicating couples? And the dull dark light signifying animal greed? All I can make out\, he thought\, is encroaching darkness and utter loss of heat\, a plain which is cooling off\, abandoned by its sun. [Sic] \nPATIENT: I remember D.F.\, who was driven frantic by the bare walls he looked at in his room\, which were very unattractive. And this same nurse who doesn’t want to give you medication brought him some beautiful pictures of Switzerland. And we pasted them on his walls. When he died\, before he died he asked her to give them to me. I had come in to see him a few times and I made them into pictures because I realized how much they had meant to him. And so in every room\, I mean eve\, this nineteen-year-old girl’s mother who stayed with her day after day\, she brought me the cardboard and we made them and we put them on. We didn’t ask the supervisor’s permission but we used this kind of tape that doesn’t ruin walls\, you know. And I think she resented it. I think there is very much red tape in this place. I know that beautiful scenery can remind\, must remind other people of life and living\, if not of God. I can actually see God in nature very much. This is what I mean\, you wouldn’t be that much alone if you had something that would make you a part of life. This meant that much to D.F. To S.\, she was surrounded by flowers and the phone calls\, and the visitors that were allowed to see her\, the girl friends that came\, and I think that if they had all been sent out because she was so critically ill\, it would have bothered her very much. She seemed to be alive when a visitor was with her\, even when she was in intense pain. She couldn’t talk to them either\, you know. I think of her\, you see. My Sisters only come once a week and sometimes they don’t come at all. And so I have received most of my company from the visitors or the patients I have visited and this has helped me a lot. When I am in tears or depressed I know I have to do something to stop thinking about myself and whether I am in pain or not I have to drag myself to somebody else\, to concentrate on them. And then I can forget my problems… \nThe writings of Philip K. Dick\, the Kübler-Ross model\, ghosting\, Henri Bergson’s concept of duration and a grocery store lobster tank as muse become material for Necrotic Black Black Swimming Pool With A Heavy Mossy Surface Film\, the second installment of a series of collaborations between Jeff Gibbons and Gregory Ruppe. \nThe series of investigations began with Pure Duration: A Beetle On Its Back at BeefHaus in Dallas\, Texas and will continue with KOKOMO at Gallery HOMELAND in Houston\, Texas\, later this spring.

SUMMARY:Lily Hanson: Trial Size
DESCRIPTION:February 6 – March 6\, 2015 \nTrial Size is an exhibition of small abstract sculptural works. The title comes from the size of the works and from their prototype-scale model like qualities. I treated these pieces like tests and gave myself some limitations. The number of decisions\, colors\, and materials and time constriction are some examples of these limitations. With this\, I was able to maintain a kind of openness from which narrative possibilities can develop. I’m interested in letting materials interact in ways that suggest relationships. I wanted the gallery to feel like an imagined landscape or place inhabited by objects whose scale as a group create a place of the imagination. Small and miniature objects tend to lend themselves to the imagination. When I think of objects of the imagination\, I think of the surrealist’s use of psychic automatism and random association to create form. I also think of Eva Hesse’s absurd objects and Franz West’s Appendages. \nLily Hanson lives and works in Dallas\, Texas. She was born in New Hampshire and lived there until attending college in 1990. She received her BA from Hampshire College in Amherst\, MA in 1995 where she focused on printmaking and sculpture. She moved to Dallas in 1998 to attend Southern Methodist University receiving her MFA in 2000. Solo exhibitions of her work include Re Gallery\, And/Or Gallery\, The Conduit Gallery\, The University of Dallas Haggerty Gallery\, Eastfield College\, and Moutainview College in Dallas\, The Cactus Bra in San Antonio\, and The Lawndale Center for the Arts in Houston. She has also been part of group shows in Dallas\, Forth Worth\, Beaumont\, Marfa\, San Diego\, and New York. She received The Dozier Travel Grant from The Dallas Museum of Art in 2007. Hanson used the grant to visit The Sculpture Project in Muenster\, Germany\, Documenta in Kassel\, Germany and The Venice Biennial. Her work experience includes teaching as an adjunct professor at Southern Methodist University\, Eastfield College\, and Vermont College. She worked at the Dallas Museum of Art from 2001-2006 as both full time and contract preparator. Currently\, Lily works as a private chef and pastry cook. She has a studio at The Shamrock Studios in East Dallas where she has worked for 13 years.

SUMMARY:Studies for Siding: Randall Anderson
DESCRIPTION:November 15 – December 28\, 2014 \nUsing an auto-ethnographic approach to personal history as a window on the world\, my new work explores marginal contexts\, like storage facilities\, highways\, trailer parks\, and transitional visual information\, as in\, the information that you may pass on a street but not openly acknowledge. Earlier in my career\, I made performances on street corners\, in shopping malls\, and public squares in various parts of the world. In part\, this work addressed the commodification process and hinged on a Marxist critique based on the Critical Theory of the Frankfurt School. I grew up in trailer parks where my first homes had wheels under them and my father was a long haul trucker. From those experiences I learned that an inherent movement of things and people informs my understanding of contemporary life\, and I find potential in the visual information that is understated\, ubiquitous\, and often unacknowledged as a carrier of meaning. I’m interested in wresting meaning out of poor and decrepit materials\, things not considered\, yet very present. I have worked with\, for example\, public bulletin boards\, treating them as a form of spontaneous collage. Materially I’m working with the idea of finding the extraordinary in the ordinary. Mining meaning where it appears that there is none.

SUMMARY:Reception and Book Signing South\, America: Rod Davis
DESCRIPTION:This down-and-dirty yarn is a powerful evocation of pre-Katrina New Orleans and as absorbing a tale of love and evil to come out of this old town since Ace Atkins and Tony Dunbar hit the scene. South\, America is a triumph of Southern noir\, populated with characters who’ll stay with you long after the last page\, including sometime PI Jack Prine\, Elle\, his brainy and brave new love\, and an all too-real supporting cast of thugs\, low-lifes\, and Southern degenerates. You heard it first here: In South\, America\, Rod Davis is the new mayor of the mean streets!” \n–Julie Smith\, Edgar Award-winning author of New Orleans Mourning\n\nRod Davis website

SUMMARY:Nature World: Jack Robbins
DESCRIPTION:May 10 – June 14\, 2014 \nNature World is a new exhibit of object(s) related to Jack’s further explorations of the mystery of nature. A look at the antonymic ….natural/synthetic or real/artificial. A system that routes its inquiries with “nature” as the baseline measurement …in context to a new idea or origination. Robbins seeks to follow his investigation into this phenomenon\, uncovering evidence through the creative process. The viewer is left to discern the original and comprehend the meaning. \nSoundscape by William Basinski.

SUMMARY:5 for 5: Revisiting the Senses - Guest Curator\, Dr. Chassis Gertrude Gaytan
DESCRIPTION:March 8 – April 13\, 2014 \nWe relate to our world by way of our senses. \nActing as physiological channels which process information\, the senses identify our environment and our position within it. \nEach of the five traditionally recognized senses–taste\, hearing\, smell\, touch and sight–has an independent function. And yet\, these faculties integrate and communicate as they perceive stimuli. \nThe objective of Five for Five is to examine the interconnectivity between the senses. \nWhat if\, for example\, a particular sense was waning\, lost or in a retrograde flow? If someone loses the ability to hear\, would she not further develop movement detection? Why is it when one bites into a spicy habanero pepper\, his eyes begin to tear? A perception is recognized; data is provided. But how? \nWhat if she tastes yellow\, he sees pain and I hear warm? \nThese five artists have been invited to address an individual sense and explore possibilities of the multi-sensory system and their cross-modal effects: \nArtemesia Snow–Taste \nErik Sanden–Hearing \nTodd Michael Fichter–Smell \nMary Eisendrath–Touch \nMeg Langhorne–Sight \nJoin us as the potentially wild world of synesthesia engulfs the tiny encyclopedic space of the Epitome Institute.

DESCRIPTION:February 15 – March 2\, 2014 \nAudio clip: World’s Largest Toe \nhttps://test.epitomeinstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/WORLDS_LARGEST_TOE.mp3\nTake away the shame and guilt and there’d be no Hamlet. \n~D.H. Lawrence\n\nCarnival barkers lure the crowd into the sideshows depicted on these posters from an old carnival of shadowy emotions. \nEmotions or passions of the soul have been studied by Plato\, Agrippa\, Descartes\, Darwin\, and Freud\, yet no universally accepted theory of emotion exists. \nTo understand something\, one must be able to make a model of it. \nTry making a model of Proust’s “oceanic joy.” \nAccording to Plato\, wonder is the prime emotion. All others are nuances of a color wheel\, spinning off French ennui\, German schadenfreude\, Norwegian Forelsket. \nAlbrecht Dürer depicted Melancholy as an introspective winged genius accompanied by an emaciated dog. The caricature of the artist as melancholic\, mad genius\, driven by emotion\, has been reinforced by the story of Van Gogh and exaggerated in a doggedly pragmatic American culture. \nIn a culture that has a basic distrust of emotion and introspection\, artists\, musicians and poets are allowed\, even expected\, to express emotion in their work\, though they may still be looked at askance\, like the townsfolk might look at a carnie.

SUMMARY:Archive: Robert Hamilton and Cynthia Mulcahy
DESCRIPTION:January 11 – February 1\, 2014 \nAn exhibition devoted to the documentation of their collaborative\, site-specific\, temporary and evolving public art project Seventeen Hundred Seeds. \nIt all began on a late Friday afternoon in Dallas\, Texas\, in March of 2012 with the debris-clearing and mowing of a large vacant city block in preparation for a second day of tractor-tilling and prepping of the soil for planting. Finally\, in advance of an obliging Texas four-inch rainstorm\, over seventeen hundred seeds were individually planted in the newly created field by an eight-member crew in traditional farm crop rows. \nOver the ensuing three and a half months\, the efforts by our farm team produced an enormous crop of single-stemmed sunflowers with ten-inch flower heads in a blighted city block that had been vacant for over two decades. From the sprouting of over 1\,700 seeds to the peak of blooms in mid-May to the formation of large seed heads in June and finally to the death of the crop in the field\, visitors were able to experience nature’s many transcendental stages of growth. \nLocated in the busy heart of the Oak Cliff neighborhood of Dallas off a well-traveled car and pedestrian street\, the public art project remained on view since field preparation began March 16th\, offering up a daily tableau of the farmer’s life of land tilling and seed planting\, weeding and watering\, and finally harvesting and sharing. \nThe activity in the empty lot\, a form of artistic intervention or farming as street theater\, drew many area neighbors\, passersby\, and local business folk curious about what was going on in their community.” You don’t often see a tractor tilling soil in the city\,” the very first visitor declared. Others shared their knowledge of the history of the land\, even family photographs\, or memories of flower gardens in their native Mexico. With our farm crew in the field\, laughs and stories were swapped over as many tacos and beer during months of crop cultivation. All were part of the process. \nSince the death of the field last year\, seeds from the project have been distributed by the thousands to area residents and business owners as well as to friends\, artists\, curators and interested others in the United States\, Europe\, Asia and South America. The first 1700 Seeds Workshop\, sponsored by the Brazilian government\, was held this past summer in the Rocinha favela community in Rio de Janeiro at the Biblioteca da Rocinha for area school kids and favela residents. \n1700 Seeds Installation/Maintenance Crew\nJuan Cano Chanito\nEfren Gutierrez\nRobert Hamilton\nCynthia Mulcahy\nCourtney Rainwater\nJose Tinajero\nJose Villa \nSeventeen Hundred Seeds was generously underwritten by Courtney Rainwater. Land provided by Rick Garza\, Bishop/Davis LLC. Water provided by Juan Pablo Segura of Familia Auto Sales. Farming consultation provided by Mulcahy Farms. Graphic design by Lily Smith-Kirkley. Planting blueprint by landscape designer Kelley Murry. \nRobert Hamilton is a visual artist and Cynthia Mulcahy is an independent curator\, visual artist and cultural producer. Together they form an activist Dallas-based collaborative art practice that addresses social\, political and environmental issues and places emphasis on the transformative experience of nature. \nRobert’s paintings\, photographs and works on paper have been exhibited throughout Texas and his work has been reviewed in The Dallas Morning News\, The Fort Worth Star Telegam\, ARTnews Magazine and online arts journal Glasstire. Robert’s work can be found in the public collections of American Airlines and many interesting private collections. \nCynthia’s recent public art projects include Square Dance: A Community Project\, co-curated with Leila Grothe\, which proposed art as social practice in the form of an outdoor seasonal dance at Dallas’ Trinity River Audubon Center in 2011 and was supported in part by of an Idea Fund Grant from The Andy Warhol Foundation for The Visual Arts. Cynthia’s recent curated exhibitions include Engines of War in New York City in 2013 and XXI: Conflicts in a New Century at the Oak Cliff Cultural Center in Dallas in 2011\, both examining the subject of war. Cynthia’s exhibitions and public art projects have been reviewed in The Dallas Morning News\, The New York Times\, The New Yorker and New York Magazine.

SUMMARY:Between Blinks: Callida Borgnino
DESCRIPTION:December 6 – 29\, 2013\n\n\n\nIs it reasonable to suggest that humanity may not yet be able to integrate images undergoing an evolutionary restlessness\, universal in experience\, perceived through shared joys and discomforts\, finding a psychologically neutral way of repeatedly triggering the ecstatic state of mind in which contact with a unique place in nature and time determines the depth of a vision\, virtually the same over thousands of years\, untroubled by the migrations and epidemics that occasionally disrupt the private mental experience? Any observation instantly informed by individual\, internal language and incalculable personal interpretations. Empty spaces filled\, endless streams of words\, explanations\, conversations\, arguments spiraling into a hypnotic pulse all focusing ultimately into one’s own exclusive hysteria\, dependent entirely for its existence on the bounded perceptions of the observer. Regard the image with internal eyes set to view the language of a poetic symbolic landscape\, understanding that it is not separate nor fully integrated with the self\, myself\, yourself\, itself\, a self. All these the things will change\, memory will twist and smooth\, soften and dismiss\, receding…brown\, to green\, to blue. \nCallida Borgnino was born in Northern California\, lives in Wimberly\, Texas with her family. MFA\, University of Texas at San Antonio\, 1995.

SUMMARY:Estate Sale: Jimmie Hudson
DESCRIPTION:Much can be learned of a human life by what is left behind. Estate sales expose the physical remains of a life lived.

This body of work\, Estate Sale\, hopes to engage the viewer in a critique of the objects we possess and what they reveal about our values and aesthetics. \nJimmie Hudson holds an MFA in Painting and Drawing from University of North Texas and has shown her work in Texas for over twenty years. She currently teaches Upper and Middle School Art at Trinity Christian Academy in Addison\, Texas and is the director of TAG (Trinity Art Gallery). \nCloses 28 September\, 2013

SUMMARY:Terra Tales/Anew: Suzanne Paquette
DESCRIPTION:Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web\, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect. \n~Chief Seattle\n\nThe concept of connectivity guides the creation of an art installation titled Terra Tales/Anew. The installation is constructed using raw earth materials (soil\, red sandstone and Poteet sand) with an intricate time intensive process.\n\n\n\nAt the closing reception\, on June 7\, the artist invites the audience to help dismantle the piece by sweeping up the materials.\n\n“Artist Makes Connections in ‘ Web of life’” by Steve Bennett\, San Antonio Express-News\, 24 May 2013

SUMMARY:DEAR STRANGER. Guest Curator\, Poet Jenny Browne - Artist Katie Pell
DESCRIPTION:IN HONOR OF NATIONAL POETRY MONTH\, DRIVE-BY READINGS WILL HAPPEN ON THE HOUR \nDEAR STRANGER. will present pairs of Pell’s drawings juxtaposed with lines of poetry selected from Browne’s forthcoming collection. Part lyrical postcard and part visual narrative\, the work re-imagines relationships between images\, words and people. In honor of National Poetry Month\, drive-by readings will happen on the hour. \nPoet Jenny Browne and artist Katie Pell first collaborated 16 years ago\, teaching together in an after-school program at a middle school that was later taken over by the state. They’ve remained in creative conversation ever since. \nJenny Browne is a poet and professor of English at Trinity University\, and the author of three books\, At Once (2004)\, The Second Reason (2007) and Dear Stranger (forthcoming). She has received grants in poetry from the Texas Writers League and the San Antonio Artist Foundation and is a 2013 NEA Literature Fellow. \nKatie Pell has lived in San Antonio since 1995. Her work describes the excruciating negotiations needed when confronting sexism\, class and racism. She is funny and insensitive\, pointing out her own misguided assumptions with humor and idealism. Among her proudest accomplishments are organizing the Automatic Downtown Studio Tour\, participating in the Artpace International Residency Program\, and drawing and painting all the while. She lives in the center of San Antonio with her man and daughter; dogs and chickens. She never complains about the heat.

SUMMARY:Golden Years: Andréa Caillouet with Appearance by Flag Boy Twin of the Shining Star Hunters Mardi Gras Indian tribe.
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception\nMarch 2\, 2013\, 5 to 9 PM \nClosing Reception\nMarch 30\, 2013\, 6 to 9 PM \nSpecial appearance by Flag Boy Twin of the Shining Star Hunters Mardi Gras Indian tribe\, March 30\, from 7 to 8pm. \nThese two artists\, one a contemporary artist and one a folk artist\, are originally from New Orleans. Both use beads and other ornamentation in their work. \n“Last Chance: Andréa Caillouet and Flag Boy Twin at The Epitome Institute” by Scott Andrews\, San Antonio Current\, 29 March 2013 \nAndréa Caillouet  \nThe works in this exhibition were created by altering and reassembling items from the artist’s late grandmother’s extensive collection of costume jewelry and knitted afghans. Through this work the artist is exploring the relationship between people and their belongings and calling into question the dichotomies of desire and possession\, selfishness and generosity\, having and being. \nFlag Boy Twin of the Shining Star Hunters in his 2010 suitPhoto: Gene Vandiver \nThe Mardi Gras Indian tradition is an African American tradition from New Orleans\, Louisiana that is over 100 years old. Each Mardi Gras Indian makes an elaborate beaded and feathered suit to wear on Mardi Gras day and in a parade in March called Super Sunday. A new suit must be made each year\, which requires countless hours of sewing\, hence the Mardi Gras Indian chant\, “everybody gotta sew\, sew\, sew.” The Mardi Gras Indians “mask\,” as they call the wearing of their suits\, to honor the native Americans who sheltered their ancestors. \nPrior to Hurricane Katrina\, the tradition was not well known outside of New Orleans. Because so many Mardi Gras Indians moved away from New Orleans in the aftermath of the hurricane\, it was feared that the tradition might not continue. It has survived in all its glory. \nFrom children to seniors\, everybody can enjoy seeing the artistry involved in this hand sewn suit and learning about the rich\, century-old tradition behind it. \nJoin us on March 2\, 2013\, from 7 to 8 pm for this rare opportunity to see Flag Boy Twin of the Shining Star Hunters show off the suit he made for 2013.
