Gallery
Mind Over Matter: Enigmatic Variations
Through April 8, 2008
HCC Central,
in partnership with FotoFest 2008, presents an exhibition, Mind
Over Matter: Enigmatic Variation, at HCC Central's Gallery, through
April 8, 2008. The exhibit, devoted to the work of visual artists using
digital media to explore Surrealism, is curated by Gregory Caslin And
Associates.
These artists
challenge assumptions of what constitutes "perceived reality."
With its emphasis on the links between reality and dreams, Surrealism
holds a special appeal for photographers, whose essentially realistic
medium can be used to create richly suggestive images. Digital "slight
of hand" allows contemporary artists to conjure mysterious worlds
that hover between the real and the fantastic.
The exhibit
runs in Central's Gallery, 3517 Austin at Holman through April 8, with
a reception Thursday, March 20 from 6PM to 8PM. The gallery will be
closed March 10-15, but otherwise is open Monday - Thursday, 9am to
9pm and Friday and Saturday, from 9am to 3pm.

I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change
By Joe DePietro and Jimmy Roberts

This stylish
musical revue explores a dizzying spectrum of romantic adventures, from
first love to fiasco and beyond. "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now
Change" began as an off-Broadway musical revue that rocketed to

struck a chord with audiences. The show is a great mix of comedy, reality,
and memorable music.

27 at 2:30 in Central's Theatre One, 3517 Austin at Holman. Tickets
