The Contemporary Austin and grayDUCK are pleased to present The Honesty of Rocks, the culminating exhibition of The Contemporary Austin’s Crit Group, an eight-month program that combines group critique with professional development to support the complete artistic practice of established and emerging artists in the Austin area.
The Honesty of Rocks spans the disparate work of nine compelling Austin-based artists, each connected by their intense desire to hone their practices and by their rigorous investigations of the subtleties of contemporary life. Curated by Sarah C. Bancroft and Andy Campbell, The Honesty of Rocks includes new works in video, sculpture, photography, painting, installation, and performance.
