un momento en bronsvil
Aqui no hay montañas, solo tiera seca y mesquites.Solo los que tienen con que pagar el agua se adornan con jardines de lujo, y los que no, pues la casita de madera que rantas tendra que ser suficiente. Quien es dueño de este terreno que el sol odia tanto con su calor ? La virgen de Guadalupe ya ni se aperece por aqui. Solo ve de lejos , probable del hotel mas alto en la isla del padre. Bajale a los frijoles que la casa esta ardiendo. Hay esta el bil de la luz, sigue subiendo y ni aigre tengo para respirar. Seguiran los dias infelizes, que ya ni el puente podre crusar a ver a mi abuelo. De esta no salgo, hay que pagar para pueder dar un paso adelante. Pero aqui me quedo hasta que me hacabe el sol.

Black and White juried by Carlos G. Gomez
Press Release
"Black and White", a photography exhibition juried by Carlos G. Gòmez, will be shown at the Art Gallery in the Rusteberg Building at The University of Texas at Brownsville , opening January 28, 2008 at 6:30 P.M.
Location: Art Gallery in the Rusteberg Building
Opening Reception: January 28, 2008, 6:30 PM
Last day to view work: February 14, 2008
Admission: $3.00 (Free to Patron of the Arts members. Student semester passes available for $5.00)
Gallery Hours: Monday through Thursday 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM
Closed: Weekends, university holidays and between exhibitions.
"Black and White" will be opening on January 28, 2008 at the Art Gallery in the Rusteberg Building at the University of Texas at Brownsville . The opening reception will start at 6:30 PM on January 28. Admission is $3.00. Semester passes are available for all UTB students for $5.00. Admission is free to all Patron of the Arts members.
Juried by one of UTB’s own professors, Carlos G. Gòmez, "Black and White" presents many photographs from artists around the valley. The photographs come from professionals to novices and range from portraits to landscapes, from darkroom to digital, but all contain great talent and creativity from aspiring valley artists.
Juror’s Statement:
After many years of observation, I have noticed that photography is a constant and well defined venue for expression in South Texas, especially in the Rio Grande Valley . For some reason the strength and quality of photography/photographers is to a point well above the rest of the other visual arts. This can be argued and should.
Without question notable photographers did not participate in the trail, but still most of the work submitted had good fundamentals which are a must. Putting aside the power of the image and concentrating on the overall conceptual aspects of each piece was the focus in selecting the Best in Show. Beverley Harris, Felix Trego, J. Schreiber and Felipe Adel are technically sound and have as the saying go; a good eye.
However, the best in Show goes to James Miller who took photography and conceptualized the essence of it and presents the viewer with "Self-portrait with camera". Miller clearly possesses advanced thinking skills and takes advantage of technology, but what he depicts is more then a moment, but instead captures what appears to be an embryonic image that transforms into an ageing apparition. This photograph goes beyond what we know and plays with our imagination—which is my subjective view on the self-portrait.
Honorable mention goes to Beverley Harris. Both her entries are topnotch and her perception of image and understanding of photography can easily be seen in here work.

JUAN GONZALEZ ROSALES
Hola T.A.O.B, muchas gracias por pedir la informacion y ponerla en el blog. Estan cordialmente invitado para ese dia y si algo llegqaras a necesitar de Matamoros, estoy para servirles. Muchas gracias.
La exposicion se llama MIS PINTURAS Y SUS LIBERTADES, es una serie de veinte trabajos en donde podemos encontrar pintura, arte objeto, instalacion, fotografia, grabado y dibujo. Se llama asi porque representa una busqueda muy personal sobre la espiritualidad y sobre la libertad. La inspiracion que me motivo a hacer esta exposicion es la manera correcta de pensar de grandes personas como Buda, Jesus, Mahoma, Confucio, el Dalai Lama, Gandhi, Paramahansa Yogananda, Yogi Ramacharaka y mas guias espirituales. Ultimamente he llegado a la conclusion de que todas las religiones son buenas, sobre todo por que influencian a la recta manera de vivir, aun siendo tan diferentes todas las religiones, se puede tomar lo mejor de cada una de ellas y fusionarse. Oriente es una magnifica llave para abrir las puertas del conocimineto, de la paz espiritual y de que Dios esta en todo y con todos, todos somos uno con todo el universo, si hago mal a cualquier ser viviente, me lo hago a mi mismo. En esta exposicion hago un homenaje al Yoga, Yoga ha cambiado mi vida, ha retenido mi fuerza, me mantiene saludable y lo mas importante, ha unido mi cuerpo con mi mente y espiritu, el yoga debe ser utilizado por la gente y debe ser mas conocido en este mundo de occidente.
La exposicion sera inaugurada el jueves 31 de enero a las 7 pm en los espacios del Imaculta, en el Parque Cultural olimpico (Calle 5 y Constitucion, muy cerca de los puentes internacionales) y permanecera por las siguientes tres semanas.

a different perspective
Ana Maria de la Garza keeps busy as an artist running a small art gallery and painting studio on 714 Palm blvd in Brownsville. I stop by recently to visit this quiet art place and found that she is a successful artist doing it all on her own. Ana commented that she is aware of ongoing opportunities to exhibit but she feels its not necessary to participate in local venues because her artwork sales as soon as its done. She noted that well known art collectors such as Dr. Montalvo have purchased her works. Ana is currently teaching art classes in both this art gallery / studio and in a studio in Matamoros, Mexico. Her art gallery and studio is open to all artist and the general public, I encourage everyone to stop by and visit.

Mauricio Saenz "The Black Life"
TAOB Blog has been honored with a sneak peek at Mauricio Saenz new work currently in production. Mauricio is one of those few artist pushing the limits in content and is developing his own original style of art. It maybe he is not trying to make the viewer think but realize what he or she already knows."For the last months I've been working on a series called 'THE BLACK LIFE' which are painting-installations in tryptichs shaped as coffins that evolve around diverse ideas on death and how complex this concept can be, becoming more than just appearing to be the 'end' of life."

POETRY
"THE STARVING ARTIST"
What artist does or does not have the power to create and build his own world beyond that of the common critic, the art dealers of local galleries and or museums? What artist can or can not truly reflect on life and completely escape fear and entrapment of our social foundations of law, religion and culture?. What artist is willing to express his or her own thoughts or ideas without grasping a breath of awareness of what has already been done and set us more free......... (GT)....
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL TAOB READERS.......

Artist Statements:
“I can say most of my paintings and ceramic pieces are from my ideas, thoughts and perceived notions behind the concepts of life, death and the afterlife. They are about saying something like a feeling; expressing one’s emotions. It’s not just about feeling them, but about understanding them. Knowing why you are feeling that way and why you should listen to yourself.
-Fátima Lai
“Form is everything.” - Juan Hurtado
