Gregory Block Solo Exhibition
March 14th – May 13th

Modern humans are pretty good at getting from point A to point B, especially with our phones to tell us where to go and how to get there. But we are here. Where’s that?
Sometimes it doesn’t hurt to get the bigger picture; to step back and look at things in context. This series of maps, constructed from aluminum cans and carpet tacks, firmly anchors the viewer in the universe, the Milky Way Galaxy, the solar system, and on earth, and hones in on our very real location amid the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It’s a tourist guide, an explorer’s tool, an evacuation plan; a study of civil engineering, geography, astrophysics and the boundaries of human intelligence. But more than anything, it’s a reminder that regardless of where we’re going or where we’re coming from, we are always here.
This exhibition will be on display daily at the SugarCube Building at 1555 Blake St.

Doug Stapleton "Atlas of the Heavens" * In the Project Room: Jeffrey Michael Austin "What We Can Handle" - Bert Green Fine Art
2018-03-10 17:00 - 20:00 (America/Denver)
Exhibition run: March 10 – April 21, 2018

Doug Stapleton’s collages employ extreme precision, keen composition, and idiosyncratic source materials which address identity, history, and ancestral themes. His interest in traditional illustrative and reproduction techniques give his work gravity and a sense of solidity.

Jeffrey Michael Austin has a fascination with the phenomenon of reflection. He works with materials that imitate and amplify reflective qualities. His simulacra of ordinary objects employ illusory effects to mediate and obscure reflectivity.

Adriana Corral - Unearthed: Desenterrado - Socorro, TX & El Paso, Juárez
2018-03-09
Black Cube Sheds Light on Shadowed Part of
American History, U.S.-Mexico Border Control

March 9 – June 9, 2018

Located in Socorro, Texas

A 60-foot flagpole, hoisting a large-scale white flag adorned with bald and golden eagles, will serve as counter-monument, acknowledging a facility that processed Mexican workers into the U.S. between 1951-1964.
Adriana Corral – Unearthed – Desenterrado
February 27, 2018 – Black Cube’s latest exhibition, Unearthed: Desenterrado, is an outdoor, large-scale artwork by Texas-based artist Adriana Corral. Located within the historic grounds of the Rio Vista Farm in Socorro, Texas, the installation—featuring a solitary 60-foot flagpole hoisting an enormous white, cotton flag—speaks to the deeply rooted history between the U.S. and Mexico. Embroidered on either side of the flag is the illustration of a “Mexican” golden eagle and an “American” bald eagle, each emblematic of their respective nation’s patriotism.
Visible from the El Paso–Juárez horizon from March 9 until June, the flag stands as a counter-monument for the Rio Vista Farm, a facility most notably recognized as a key-processing center for the Bracero Program. The Bracero Program, which was established by the federal government during World War II, is known as one of the largest foreign worker programs in U.S. history. According to finding from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, many people have described the Bracero Program as a period of “legalized slavery” in which Mexican workers “were met with medical and psychological examinations, stripped of their clothing, organized into lines, and fumigated with DDT before they could be evaluated by farming contractors.”
Cortney Lane Stell, Black Cube’s Executive Director + Chief Curator, believes that “by calling attention to this overlooked park of American history, Corral’s work endeavors to stand as an acknowledgement of unknown human rights violations, as well as to inspire deeper conversations about our history —and future—of border control along the U.S.–Mexico border.”
“This project emphasizes the importance of recognizing and confronting the voids within our American history,” Corral adds.

Unearthed: Desenterrado will be on display at the Rio Vista Center until June. During the three-month exhibition, Corral’s flag will become tattered and worn due to inclement weather. After its display in Socorro, the flag will be exhibited in museums and cultural institutions across the country.
About Adriana Corral
Adriana Corral is based in San Antonio, Texas. Her installations, performances, and sculptures embody universal themes of loss, human rights violations, concealment, and memory. Corral employs a rigorous researched based practice where anthropologists, writers, journalists, gender scholars, human rights attorneys, and victims provide her with the foundation for her works.
Corral received her Master of Fine Arts from The University of Texas at Austin and completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Texas at El Paso. In 2016, Corral was invited to attend the 106th session of the Working Group on Enforced and Involuntary Disappearances at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland.
