Hasta La Basura Se Separa [artcrush] - Houston November 14, 2009

Box 13 Artspace
November 14 – December 31, 2009
Opening reception, 7 – 9:30pm

Hasta La Basura Se Separa [artcrush] is an exhibition curated by the Austin-based group Los Outsiders: Salvador Castillo, Michael Anthony García and Hector Hernandez. Originally presented at the Galleria del Espacio Cultural de la Antigua Aduana in the border town of Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Mexico, Hasta La Basura Se Separa [artcrush] features the work of 13 contemporary artists from Texas, New York and Utah.

The artists in this exhibition, Robert Boland (Austin, TX), Jaime Castillo (Austin, TX), Hunter Cross (Austin, TX), Michael Anthony García (Austin, TX), Katy Heinlein (Houston, TX), Hector Hernandez (Austin, TX), William Hundley (Austin, TX), Kathy Kelley (Houston, TX), Michelle Mayer (Brooklyn, NY), Eduardo Muñoz (Austin, TX), Teruko Nimura (Austin, TX), Jared Steffensen (Salt Lake City, UT), and Jade Walker (Austin, TX), consist mostly of sculptural and installation practices. With a special emphasis on found objects and the use of recycled materials these artists mix their personal memories with our greater cultural histories.

Consolidating the histories of the materials, the artists, the gallery and the city itself, Hasta La Basura Se Separa [artcrush] pushes the viewer beyond what has already transpired. Waste is no longer a discarded remnant, memories have not faded into obscurity, architecture has not been forgotten and life has not ended. Instead of lamenting shifting realities, this group takes the products of transition and rebuilds looking toward tomorrow. New objects, new structures and new relationships take form and renewed hope becomes possible.
