Our Crowdfunding Groups
A big thank you to everyone who helped us reach our goal and then some! We are beyond thrilled to be able to fund Maria's travel, public programs, and installation costs worry free! We could not have done it without you, thank you so much for sharing the project with friends and family and for your generous donations! Please join us in Austin for the opening on Friday, September 20 from 5–8 PM at the Visual Arts Center. In addition to Mechanisms of Affection, the VAC is installing three additional exciting exhibitions you can read more about on the VAC's homepage: http://sites.utexas.edu/utvac/.
If you are in the Austin area Wednesday, November 13th at 5 PM, don't miss out on our "Language Arts" reading. Join us to hear from three Austin-based writers—Zaccaria Fulton, Levis Keltner, and Jesús I. Valles—who will read selections from original works that respond to the installations in the galleries. I am also excited to announce that thanks to your support, we are inviting the student body and broader Austin community to the VAC's first artist-curated film series! Beginning with Jean-Luc Godard's Alphaville (1965) on Thursday October 24 at 5:30 p.m., followed by Andrei Tarkovsky's Сталкер [Stalker] (1979) on Thursday November 21 at 5:30 p.m., with David Cronenberg's Videodrome (1983) closing out the season on Thursday December 5 at 5:30 p.m.
Thank you again for making the fundraising campaign, exhibition, and public program series a big success!
All my very best,
Taylor
