Colloquium No. 7

The seventh Colloquium, CAM edition, showcased six grantees of the Artist Foundation of San Antonio, from six different categories.

Colloquium VI

After a long absence of colloquia, the sixth Colloquium was held at Transit, a freshly inaugurated cooperative for artists in transition, on February 10th 2010. This was the first Colloquium to include performances, an event that will hopefully start a trend.

Photos of the event are available at Joey Lopez's website.

Colloquium V

The fifth Colloquium was held at the Southwest School of Art and Craft on March 9, during Contemporary Art Month 2010. The artists featured in this version were a bit different from the usual gallery-hosted sort, just to mix it up a bit.

Colloquium IV

The attendees of the fourth Colloquium filled the space at High Wire Art to the brim. The art ranged from the very personal (Jennifer Ling Datchuk's delicate autobiographical pieces) to the community-based (Andy Benavides' art-supporting activism) to the very removed (Rob Ziebell's photos of another artist's airbrush reproductions of his photos); from the meticulous and controlled (Joey Fauerso's and Liz Ward's detailed, flowing watercolors) to the boisterous and defiant (Katie Pell's pimped out kitchen appliances).

Colloquium III

The third Colloquium was housed at Blue Star Contemporary Arts Center, on October 13, 2009. The discussion was unrelenting, sometimes unforgiving, and intriguing throughout.

Colloquium II

The second Colloquium was held at the cozy auditorium in Casbeer's at the Church on July 22 '09, with the artists presenting in front of the stained glass window. The art and the beer were equally intoxicating. As a bonus to the presentations, there was a short by Hills Snyder related to the show he curated at Blue Star, Lonely Are the Brave.
