The Center for the Fine and Performing Arts Gallery hosted a new spring exhibit, “Goin’ Mobile,” which featured the work of Adam Blumberg, Min-Tse Chen, Mark Hogensen, Tao Rey, Mark Schatz, and Ethel Shipton. Those who attended the showing on March 5 got to view multiple styles of art: photography, paintings, sculptures, and installations.Artists in attendance at the opening reception were Mark Hogensen, Mark Schatz, and Ethel Shipton. Curator and Director of the Unit B Gallery Kimberly Aubuchon was also in attendance.Shipton, a Laredo native, has been actively showing work in San Antonio and nationally since 1990. Her work consisted of pieces titled “Paths of Desire,” made of paint and vinyl on wood, and “Highway Models,” a work crafted from wood, metal, and paint.”The inspiration for these pieces was looking at travel, highways, life journeys, and the thought of that process. I thought about arteries and veins in a way; that movement in our body makes us move and our highway system is just that,” said Shipton.Schatz, an instructor at Glassell School of Art and at San Jacinto College-both in Houston-presented one large piece: a series of models called Googling Mackinac (pronounced Machinaw). Schatz’s work is a representation of Google map versions of Michigan. Some of the materials used to craft the work were storage boxes, wood, styrene, model trees, and paper satellites. Schatz shared his thoughts when asked about his work.”It’s named after an area in Michigan where I’m from. It follows the memory of a road trip. The land changes as I move along that landscape and out of Michigan. [In the work,] there’s only half a bridge because I remember this really long suspension bridge; my memory as a child is that it just sort of went up into space. It was very exciting,” said Schatz.Hogensen, originally from Corvallis, Oregon, is currently living and working in San Antonio as an art instructor at Palo Alto College. His pieces consist of “Road Trip,” acrylic on panel, and an untitled entry, seven landscape pieces made of charcoal on panel. “I made paintings that dealt with the landscape in an abstract way. Everything is made up of four shapes: a cone, a cylinder, a cube, and sphere. I sort of broke things down, sort of cartoon-y in a way. I like playing around with the idea of landscape because it’s sort of familiar to everybody once you put in a horizon,” Hogensen said.”Goin’ Mobile” will remain at the CFPA Gallery until Thursday, March 26, so those who missed out on the opening reception still have a chance to view the works of the artists. Gallery hours are Monday through Thursday, 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, please contact Alma Haertlein, assistant professor of studio art.
