In celebration of its 15th anniversary, Artpace presents the first-ever U.S. survey of 95.1 Artpace alum Felix Gonzalez-Torres' billboards in a yearlong, state-wide exhibition of 13 seminal works sited in Dallas, El Paso, Houston, and San Antonio. Major underwriting for this special exhibition is provided by the Linda Pace Foundation, with generous in-kind support from Clear Channel Outdoor.

Texas artist Buster Graybill references rural working class traditions such as fishing, hunting, and camping in his sculptures and installations in order to bring awareness to a side of America being encroached upon by urban sprawl and development. Many of his muscular artworks can be spoken of in terms of weight and strength, whether in pounds of force necessary to winch under-inflated inner tubes to a Jon boat, like in Come Along Johnny, or in the hundreds of pounds of feed dispensed from a homemade deer feeder in Corn Fed. By altering the function and context of redneck paraphernalia, Graybill's formal artworks serve as metaphors for the evolution and displacement of the rural American landscape he once knew.

Berlin-based Swedish artist Klara Liden questions the functions of private and public space through installations and video performances utilizing scavenged materials and pre-existing urban structures. Through economical and aggressive means, the artist transforms urban detritus such as found cardboard, police barricades, and carpet remnants into bunker-like structures; the results have been described as melancholic and gloomy, yet solid and sturdy. Liden's radical video performances often feature her smashing or throwing objects, or dancing wildly on public transportation and in abandoned dwellings. Concerning both aspects of her socio-architectural work, Liden explains that she is "part poor architect dealing with the problem of existing structures in the city" and "part amateur dancer or performer who wants to return to the ideas of rhythm to the activity of building, or of re-appropriating the built environment."

Ulrike Müller is a Vienna-born, New York-based artist whose practice combines art making and community organizing. Although her work can be seen as an extension of the feminist movements from the 1970s, Müller is not engaged in protest; rather, she utilizes performance, editing, and painting to create spaces of excitement and humor for feminist and queer audiences. The artist's work with narrative, language, and the acts of reading and listening functions to break down traditional binary systems, creating a third option that addresses "feminist genderqueer" concerns in the twenty-first century.

Alejandro Cesarco, 32, from Uruguay, challenges viewers to seek new meaning behind the texts and images of his works. His diverse projects, consisting of photographs, videos, books and sculpture, address his recurrent interests in repetition, narrative and the practices of reading and translating. With a strong interest in collaboration, he also works as a curator and editor at New York's Art Resources Transfer/A.R.T. Press. His exhibition at Artpace will for the first time unite the different components of a body of work entitled Index (2000-2008). Consisting of an alphabetized list of terms and ideas arranged as if indexing a specific publication, the works are half way biographical and half way theoretical. They are extremely personal, at times even hermetic, yet full of clichés. The exhibition will also present a new film commissioned for the occasion. Entitled The Two Stories, it consists of the reading and telling of a story, with the two narratives overlapping one another. This will be the artist's first solo museum exhibition.

David Zamora Casas (IAIR 95.3) returns to Artpace as the first artist in our WindowWorks series' year-long tribute to past residents. A self-trained painter, Casas also works three-dimensionally and with time-based arts. In addition to oil and acrylic paint, materials such as lace, bones, branches, thorns, fabric, flowers, religious prints and statuary, and images cut and collaged from magazines find their way into his paintings, tableaux, installations, altars, and performances.
