Gallery talk


Artist Darryl Lauster recently gave a talk before his amazing show, Americana, closed last Saturday. It was a thin crowd, but an important one with well respected critics and curators in attendance. Darryl, who teaches 3-d design and art history (whoot whoot!) at UTA, said that speaking before a small crowd was actually more difficult than speaking for a large group. When there's a crowd, he just slips into lecture mode and rolls. No nerves were apparent, however, as Darryl gave an incredibly thought provoking lecture about truth, fiction, history, and memory.
