Artist Talk: Ana M. Lopez – Industrial Arts

September 16, 2017 12:30 pm - September 16, 2017 2:00 pm

Artist Talk : September 16, 2017, 12:30pm – 2pm.

In her new exhibition, Industrial Arts, Ana Lopez utilizes disparate forms of metalworking to address a variety of relationships within the spectrums of the contemporary body to industry, the individual to one’s beliefs and the places we inhabit.

Through an underlying narrative tendency and self-reference to the materials and processes of metalworking, Lopez creates hybrids; sculptural forms which are physical fictions develop into hardware intended to be brought into the first or second skin of a wearer, providing an illustration of what is happening within the contemporary constructed body.

Blue Star is the Anchor of San Antonio Art. A Southtown destination, purposefully curated with places for you to live, create, and recreate. Come and enjoy the Experience of Blue Star.

While we won't host our traditional First Friday for May, our businesses will still be OPEN with many hosting their own individual events, including Brick at Blue Star - which will be hosting their art market with musical guests. However, we should be making another announcement within the next couple weeks regarding the official return of our traditional First Fridays. Please follow us on social media for more information on that in the coming weeks. 

Also, even though the mask mandate is being lifted soon - we still want all of our visitors to the complex to be safe and therefore encourage everyone to continue to mask up and social distance while inside the complex. Each business has their own requirements, as well and we have been & will continue to post those updates to our IG stories / highlights and feed, as they come.
