Contemporary Arts gallery mounts a show on discomfort, anxiety
Revamped TCU gallery mounts show about a peaceful, uneasy feeling among Texas artists.
TCU’s Fort Worth Contemporary Arts is under new management. While there isn’t a sign out front boasting that, be assured that the experimentally edgy space is in the capable hands of former Dallas gallerist Christina Rees. Her first outing is a show of work by 13 artists, including the venerable Vernon Fisher and Terri Thornton, the Modern’s education curator and coordinator of the Tuesday Evenings lecture series.
Rees comments on the amplified day-to-day stressors that unify this show. "Discomfort is a key element that takes many forms in this exhibition: erasure of content, degradation of material, violence, miscommunication, an attempt to organize and name uneasy thoughts, and dire tension about the kinds of cultural 'norms’ we’re all meant to take in stride."
