Teodora Pogonat's provocative series of photography depicts women overcoming struggles, hardships, and setbacks through the use of a 30-pound pink military-grade parachute.

This here's a show featuring all new work from: NYC's Serene Bacigalupi, Jacques Duffourc, and Whitney Raynor, presenting a spectacle of installations and sculptures of creeptastic creatures that literally escape the frames to take over the gallery space.

Three artists, three strong views of this complex life. And now our journo-about-town Brenner has reaped the visions that Erika Huddleston, Amy Scofield, and Tammy West have sown – and here's his report.

This new exhibition, organized by the Vitra Design Museum and the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, presents the work of more than 120 artists and designers, displaying sculpture, prints, fashion, furniture, film, photography, apps, maps, digital comics, and more to show how African design generates innovative design approaches and solutions with worldwide relevance.

The Association of Science Fiction and Fantasy Artists presents a show by professional artists working on a variety of projects from sculpture to book covers to creator-owned projects.

This is an exhibit of recent artworks – moody and texturally three-dimensional abstract paintings – by Winston Lee Mascarenhas.

This exhibition is enhanced with artifacts providing historical context for the paintings, rich with the unbroken connection the Comanche people have with their roots. Also, Rodeo: The Exhibition. Boy howdy, it's the history of the Texas rodeo – vibrant, interactive, and fully documented in this fine new show.

Multidisciplinary artist Suchitra Mattai presents installations, mixed media drawings and paintings, collages, and video in leveraging land as a catalyst for the exploration of identity. There's so much going on in each piece, a person can't really sum it in a simple blurb. (Pro tip: See our review this issue.)

Ed Ruscha, anyone? We'll bet yes – we're big fans ourselves – and now here's a diverse selection of the celebrated American artist’s books, photographs, drawings, and pprints. With archival production materials, preliminary sketches, and studio notebooks; with more than 150 objects providing visitors an unprecedented look into Ruscha's creative process. And the Chronicle's Melany Jean tells more about this show right here.

Here's a new show of the New York-based artist's sculpture and photography, a body of work that "reflects an increasingly complicated world that requires a nuanced understanding of the potential of hybridity and pluralism." And this is our reviewer's reaction to the show.

This exhibition presents Mexic-Arte’s 35-year quest to educate the public about the significance of Dia de los Muertos, offering displays of art, ofrendas, and archival materials as a historical survey and a testament to the holiday’s unique character in the region.

Artwork by Guy Burchak and Chris Celusniak. Burchak's got those painterly skills and works them well on an array of subjects; Celusniak's baroque illustrations are worth losing your eyeballs in for a while.

The year's final exhibition at SouthPop is a celebration of the life and art of that Austintatious punk cowboy Davy Jones, with part of the show reserved for selling the man's creations.

This group show celebrates the gallery's 25 years of showing the best of regional photography (and Lance Letscher's collages), and features a tribute to the career of Rick Williams.

If someone's going to be presenting other forms of life, how lucky for those forms and for the viewers of those forms, that it's the New York–based artist Huma Bhabha, here offering an unforgettable array of human, alien, god, plant, animal, and machinelike entities, rendered in her unique combination of representation and abstraction, in two dimensions and three, in whatever media works best. Celebrated in professional art circles, welcomed with a mixture of wonder and fear by ordinary citizens with eyes to see, Bhabha's creations provide an infusion of transgenre brilliance and savagery that Austin, in particular, needs right about now.

This place, ah, it's one of our favorite places in the entire city; and of course they're properly corona-closed. But check 'em out online right now – it's a rich, wonder-filled website – to whet your appetite for when things get back to … uh … are we still calling it "normal," these days?

Gifts and artwork from unique Texas artists – including cards, jewelry, prints, clothing, books, clayworks, and more.

Nola Parker, a self-taught artist from Vermont, paints "those places where we have made ourselves known amid the wilderness." Well, yes – but, also? She does it so well, rendering such color-saturated beauty, that it almost makes you want to cry.

In this new show by Tammie Rubin, "the wispy tendrils of ball moss serve as a signifier of gathering chaos, conclave connections, concentrated confusion, a labyrinth of values, and growing will. Sculptures are constructed of knots and tangles of twine and rope, embedded with steel wool and cotton, and armatures of wire."

This? Is one of those ooooh-this'll-look-great-on-Instagram pop-ups that all the like-hungry kids are flocking to, cameras at the ready, surfaces polished for posing. The venue's packed with a colorful array of ice-cream-themed environments, obvs, and so they'll offer you free samples of frozen confections, too. Note: See David Brendan Hall's photo gallery of the place right here.

St. Ed's Risograph Lab will provide the means – a risograph printer and a kit of pre-made graphics commissioned for this event – whereby you can design posters that relay your urgent message. (Note: Participants receive an edition of 20 of their posters to take with them to put out in the world.) Most of these workshops are already full, yes – but there are still a few days available in the beginning of December. Click this link for complete schedule and application.
