Drove to Lubbock from Denton late yesterday af ternoon to jur y the
U n d e r g r a d u a t e S t u d e n t E x h i b i t i o n a t Te x a s Te c h . P a s s i n g t h r o u g h w i d e open spaces always puts things in perspective. Looking at the work this
morning gave me additional perspective. I selected twenty-two pieces
by eleven ar tists. The selected works were outstanding among the
s e v e n t y - e i g h t t h a t w e r e s u b m i t t e d . To s u m m a r i z e b r o a d l y, I f o u n d a
thread of romance and nostalgia, complemented by a sci-fi, futuristic
sensibility that speaks to this moment in time.
I enjoyed looking at the range of submissions. Clearly there is great
creative energy in the School of Ar t, and in the City of Lubbock. This is
evident in the selected works and in all of the submissions. My choices
reflect what I saw as the most developed, resolved, and consequently
strongest pieces in the room. Af ter seeing all of the work it was clear
that choosing by ar tist instead of by individual piece would make the
b e s t s h o w. T h e s e l e c t e d w o r k s i n c l u d e p a i n t i n g , v i d e o / i n s t a l l a t i o n ,

a high level of cr af t to their chosen materials. Ther e is an under st anding
that ever ything in material culture is fair game for ar t making.

imagined spaces, communication, and open-ended narratives. I hope
that the indiv id ual v oice s t hat make t h e sh o w will r e so n a t e h a r m o n io u sly
in the exhibition as a whole. I imagine the show will be relatively quiet
in tone, poignant in some places, and humorous in others. There are big
questions at play in both large and small-scaled works. Perhaps the
gathering of these par ticular pieces will spark a dialogue that results
in even bigger (more beautiful) questions.
