Exhibition at the Austin Museum of Art – Laguna Gloria
Through September 27, 2009

Laguna Gloria Grounded explores the lush twelve-acre grounds overlooking Lake Austin at the Austin Museum of Art-Laguna Gloria. The picturesque formal gardens and wild places of this historical site served as the inspiration for the seventeen exhibited works.  Ten featured Austin artists create art that expresses their personal connections with the landscape.  Site-specific artworks, like Beverly Penn’s cast bronze botanicals and Martha Gannon’s constellation of photographs of Laguna Gloria’s flora and fauna, examine the relationship between nature and culture.  This modest exhibition celebrates the grounds and revitalized historic gardens of Laguna Gloria with two-dimensional and three-dimensional works installed inside the Villa.
