However, I have to disagree with one point regarding the "pretentiousness" factor. What good would a gallery, including Mr. Short's, be without its philosophical ostentation? A fantastic article and an even better and timely opening show.

What good would a gallery, including Mr. Short’s, be without its philosophical ostentation?

"What happened to Dallas?" Having grown up in Dallas and witnessed the death of Deep Ellum, my husband and I often find ourselves in this type of conversation with people in Austin. And no one knows anything about its sleepy sister town to the west. We moved from Dallas, to Fort Worth, which has even less of an art movement. Don't get me wrong, I love FW and there are people trying to organize their creativity south of downtown, but the majority of people who came to our shows in the four years we lived there were 50+ (no offense to older people, they just seem less likely to work on a video shoot at 3 a.m.). We moved to Austin in search of people to do collaborative projects with, and so far, I'm excited to report we have more projects than time. I'm not saying Austin is top tier when it comes to art either. We don't have a leader, and I haven't seen anything innovative. But I do see people trying, working and making a living off being an artist. And oh - Viva the Bishop Arts District.
