 This January 2010, the Creative Research Laboratory will present an exhibition entitled, Ideas of Mountains. This exhibition will be entirely composed of large scale, site-specific installation projects that employ the exceptional potential that our Eastside gallery space provides. As an incubator for the creative process, the CRL is pleased to invite all Austin artists, especially past and present students of the Department of Art and Art History at the University of Texas, to share with the community the uncovered potential within our space. We are pleased to encourage wild experimentation across a multitude of media, in hopes to provide a venue for artists to better realize emergent art practices. This broad and open platform is a rare opportunity to reach beyond the normal scope of art making and to investigate the possibilities of creating something immeasurable.
