From the release: “The Texas video event at the Center for Contemporary Art in Tel Aviv is an eye opener for local audiences to the artistic activity taking place today in the Lone Star State, also known as “The second largest state in North America after Alaska”. Within Texas exists a lively art scene, with vibrant traffic among the various art –dominant cities: Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Dallas and Fort Worth. Texas is thriving with national museums of highly sophisticated architecture, contemporary art galleries, art fairs, large thesis exhibitions and residencies for artists. Clearly from the 2006 Whitney Biennale, there is a renewed awareness to the entire spectrum of artistic work being made in Texas, establishing it as another focal point for artistic creation in the U.S, next to New York and California.”
