Please join us for the dual Fall season exhibitions of Joe Cardella: 25 Years of Art/Life Limited Editions and Maurice Roberts: Correlation.
Correlation is an installation by photographer and collage artist Maurice Roberts and focuses on the correlation between patterns, objects and events. His photography is rooted in South Texas but extends to the wider US as well as Central America and Europe, and explores universal patterns and archetypes. He expands on these themes through collage, culminating in a new visual representation of the I Ching, or “Book of Changes”, a Chinese classic of philosophy and divination that has inspired both Eastern and Western art for centuries.

25 Years of ArtLife Limited Editions is a retrospective of the magazine ArtLife, a periodical that every month featured original art and has allowed artists from around the world to show their work. Joe Cardella, the creator of ArtLife, has compiled a visual history of the magazine, from its earliest beginnings relying on hand edited photocopies, to the final edition with a plywood and ceramic cover. ArtLife is in the permanent collections of museums and libraries around the world, including the Guggenheim, the Whitney, Harvard, and Yale. The center gallery of Five Points Museum will be the ultimate reading room, allowing visitors to browse this extraordinary collection of work.

Moving Targets: An Art Car History
An art car is a subject of attention, affection and personal transformation, and the culture which surrounds art cars is in a constant state of change. Moving Targets surveys the history of the car as a medium for individual expression and the growth of that expression into a cultural phenomenon in Texas. This show examines the roots of art cars, key artists and works that have fed a community aesthetic and movement, and the evolution of the art car community as the phenomenon matures.
