    The Blanton Museum of Art at the University of Texas at Austin is pleased to present I Will Show You The Joy-Woe Man, a multi-media installation by Miami-based artist Jim Drain. The latest in the museum's WorkSpace series, Drain's installation will feature a new series of video vignettes (some of which are currently being filmed in Austin with the help of local artists) showing mysterious performances amidst found objects, recycled equipment and building supplies. The videos will be arranged and screened in a dense sculptural environment that Drain has created in the gallery. Subjects ranging from sci-fi fantasy, ancient myths, philosophy, music, ruminations on architecture and survival, and the forests outside Berlin all inform what is sure to be a memorable new commission.

    As part of the museum's “Artistic License” series, Drain will return to Austin on October 15 for a 7 PM lecture.
