Cryptostructures of the Urscape

NEW WORK BY MARK P. HENSEL

Opens this Friday 12/5

at MASS gallery

from 8 to 11 pm

916 Springdale Rd

“Mark approaches art like a freight train, there is none of this delicate hand holding and theory. It seems to just comes to him like air does to most people.

His past performances always felt more like incantations to which the audience were unwittingly susceptible, steadily broiling these energies until the atmosphere was so charged that it felt like anything could potentially happen at any second. (Sometimes it did: an ex threw a melted chocolate Frosty at me at one performance.)

This particular show will consist of one massive installation and a series of animations, which Mark called “visions of cryptostructures.” If you are interested in reaching through the veil of consciousness for FREE then please come and see this show.”

Review: Harvest at MASS Gallery

Harvest, a group exhibition featuring new work by Austin-based artists Ryan Lauderdale, Dylan Reece, Corkey Sinks, and Anthony Romero, opened last night at MASS Gallery. The show highlighted the group’s overlapping interests in the aesthetics of the supernatural, found objects, and re-appropriated/re-contextualized visions of pop culture and nostalgia.
