This week is your last chance to view the critically acclaimed exhibit Desire at the Blanton Museum here in Austin. It’s well worth your time: the Annette DiMeo Carlozzi curated show is incredible. Carlozzi has selected works in a variety of media which explore the ways in which we feel, express and cope with desire. Among the highlights, and there are many, are Amy Globus’ film, ‘Electric Sheep,’ in which an octopus makes its way between two clear boxes via a tiny connecting tube; Laurel Nakadate’s series of self-portraits, for which she posted an add asking male volunteers to view and handle with ink on their fingertips, thus leaving their own identities on her own; and the amazing work of Susie J. Lee, a projection on a carved piece of wood, which explores the ephemeral nature of connection.
