The Annual International Exhibitionis a juried competition organized by the UT Tyler art department in the School of Visual and Performing Arts.
Celebrating its 21st anniversary, the Annual International Exhibitionhas brought an accomplished and diverse range of artists, curators and writers to East Texas to act as jurors for this competition. With them has come an influx of the contemporary art from around the country and the world, added Rich.
Through purchase awards the art department has built a permanent collection from this body of work. This collection, now numbering more than 200 objects, is exhibited regularly and exists as a resource for the University’s students as well as for the larger East Texas art community.
Exhibiting artists include Robert J. Berguson, Rachelle Cohen, Sally Dill, Lilian Garcia-Roig, Priscilla Hanson, Shu-Min T. Kaldis, Julie King, Kathleen Kuster King, H. Jack Lieberman, Melissa McCutcheon, Greg Mrotek, and Kristin Powers Nowlin.
Karnes is curator at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. In 2003, she organized the popular exhibition Julie Bozzi: Landscapes 1975–2003, which showcased the Fort Worth artist’s small-scale paintings and works on paper. A prestigious exhibition of multimedia works by French artist Pierre Huyghe followed in 2004.
In addition to organizing the Modern’s new Focus series, Karnes is now at work on a traveling exhibition of mixed-media sculptures by the Australian artist Ron Mueck, who works in Great Britain, and a survey of photographs and videos by the Austin-based team of Teresa Hubbard and Alexander Birchler.
The gallery is closed on academic holidays. For more information please contact Matthew Rich, Meadows Gallery Director, 903-566-7483.
