“It’s All Going Back” – UTSA Satellite Space

Everything is going back in Mat Kubo’s MFA thesis work, from the frames on the wall to the tool boxes he fills with cereal. “It’s All Going Back” is an ongoing project in which Kubo interacts with store-bought objects, which he documents with still images and videos. Kubo uses mock infomercials, how-to clips and karaoke pushing his audience to question their relationship to the objects they buy. The items are then returned to their original packaging and retail locations containing documentation on DVD and contact information. Kubo’s work is incredibly insightful, mocking consumer culture. ‘It’s All Going Back” will be on display until April 22.

“Juxtapostion of 1970’s with 2012″ – Blue Star Contemporary Art Complex

Initially inspired by Edwin A. Abbott’s Flatland, H.J. Bott’s work speaks through the language of line, shape, form and texture. The lines are memorizing, as they direct their audience through the piece, enticing and often leaving the audience still searching for answers. The exhibition will be on exhibit until April 28.
