Events' Realm

As we move around London, signs are all around us, announcing the names of businesses and alerting us to services offered and goods available. In our everyday lives, signs can become part of the landscape, standing out when needed and fading into the background when not. 

As museum objects, however, signs are the physical traces of a past London that only some may remember well. Many recall with affection, for example, Johnny and Dorothy Downs’ banquet facility, the Latin Quarter Place. As we move further into the past, though, London becomes an unfamiliar place. Where was Balkwill’s Hotel, for instance, and who ran it? This exhibition featuring signs from Museum London’s extensive artifact collection recalls and revives this fascinating forest city of yesteryear. It will also introduce some equally compelling Londoners. The signs in _London Recalling_ are mounted high on one of Museum London’s barrel vault walls.  This not only makes the most of the Museum’s architecture but also displays the signs as they would have been seen when first used.

London Recalling: Traces of Places from the City's Past

Supersampler is an exhibition featuring a decade’s worth of work by London-based painter, Mark Stebbins. Inspired by the history of image making, digital media and textiles, Stebbins’ paintings explore the potential of the grid form through realism and abstraction alike.

Often containing thousands of tiny squares hand-painted with hundreds of different tones and hues, Stebbins’ paintings translate source imagery to pose what he calls “visual questions.” By building up and breaking down these images, the artist plays with colour, detail, texture, and contrast to impact what the viewer sees. Here, paint strokes act as stitches and pixels, often distorted.

 A new series employs symbols from historic embroideries found in Museum London’s artifact collection, while other pieces feature vibrant, kaleidoscopic effects that nod to key moments in art history—like 19th-century pointillism and the hard-edge abstraction of the 1950s and 60s. Throughout these diverse influences, Stebbins’ work invites us to reflect on themes of originality, labour, and the evolving role of painting in our increasingly virtual world.

“Chicano/a/x Prints and Graphics: Selections from the Hispanic Research Center’s Collection, 1980–2010” showcases a partnership between ASU’s Hispanic Research Center (HRC) and ASU Art Museum and brings together works from the 1980s into the 2010s drawn from the HRC’s dynamic collection. Featuring over 30 artists who each offer a kaleidoscope of perspectives on the Mexican American experience, this year-long exhibition pays homage to the ideals of the Chicano Movement of the 1960s and 70s and expands upon them through the widely disseminated medium of prints. Presented in two parts, this unique exhibition underscores how Chicano/a/x artists have employed prints and graphics to build community, engage with social concerns, and interrogate shifting notions of political and cultural identity over time.


Artists in the first rotation include: Celia Alvarez Muñoz (United States, b. 1937), Alfredo Arreguín (United States, 1935–2023), Samuel Baray (United States, b. 1938), Candace Briceño (United States, b. 1971), Rolando Briseño (United States, b.1952), Vibiana Chamberlin (United States, b. 1942), Sam Coronado (United States, 1946–2013), Margarita “Mita” Cuarón (United States, b. 1952), Gaspar Enriquez (United States, b. 1942), Dolores Guerrero-Cruz (United States, b. 1948), Ester Hernández (United States, b. 1944), Yolanda Lopez (United States, 1942–2021), César Martinez (United States, b. 1944), Salvador Roberto Torres (United States, b. 1936), D. Rose, Annette Maria Sexton-Ruiz (United States, b. 1958), Patssi Valdez (United States, b. 1951) and Larry Yáñez (United States, b. 1949).


“Chicano/a/x Prints and Graphics: Selections from the Hispanic Research Center’s Collection, 1980–2010” is organized by ASUAM Senior Curator Alana Hernandez and ASUAM Curator Brittany Corrales and is made possible by funding provided by the Evelyn Smith Exhibition Fund. Additional funding is provided by ASU’s Hispanic Research Center and The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. The exhibition is presented in collaboration with a Community of Practice composed of Carla Chavarria, Community Building Director, Iconico, and Carla León Celaya, PhD candidate in the Spanish Department at the School of International Letters and Cultures, ASU.

The shapes of feathers, wings, flowers and leaves combine in a constellation of ceramic and bronze to comprise Forever (Bird-Botanicals), a site-specific installation by Ecuadorian-Canadian sculptor David Constantino Salazar. The work combines recognizable bird anatomy with plant forms to probe the theme of transformation in contemporary culture.

Often representative of freedom, love, peace, and divinity, the symbol of the bird is ripe with meaning. In South American folklore, for example, birds and other animals are evocative of transformation, often shapeshifting between forms in fables. In Museum London’s Atrium, Salazar’s birds are in a state of transition, too, as if between life and death. Here, botanicals grow around misshapen appendages.

To create each element of the work, the artist meticulously hand crafts birds out of clay and throws them against his studio wall. Radically altering their appearance, this act transforms each sculpture into something new entirely. Each component evokes the natural evolution of all living things, as we journey between one state of being to another.

Throughout his dynamic and multidisciplinary practice, José Villalobos (b.1988, El Paso, Texas) interrogates and deconstructs aspects of gender and masculinity found within the U.S. / Mexico borderlands. His practice underscores the rigid and conservative patriarchal roots of his Evangelical Mexican upbringing merged with the cultural mores of West Texas, bringing to bear how these are often at odds with his own identity as a queer, Brown man. How do you see masculinity represented in your culture?


“Rough Rider” marks the first U.S. solo museum presentation for the artist. It presents a diverse collection of newly created works from the artist’s residency with CALA Alliance in the Fall of 2024. The exhibition focuses on the spectacle of rodeo culture, addressing themes related to machismo, protection and gender. Practice barrels, ropes and flanks, all of which exude preconceived ideas of masculinity, are reinterpreted with a distinct flashiness to assert a tension between what it means to be masculine. Taken as a whole, “Rough Rider” asks us to consider how we exist within the parameters of socially constructed norms and those that endure outside of them.


“José Villalobos: Rough Rider” is organized by ASU Art Museum Senior Curator Alana Hernandez, with ASU Art Museum Windgate Curatorial Fellow Sade Moore and is made possible with generous funding from the Terra Foundation for American Art. Additional funding is provided by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.

Hello pickle lovers,


We are so excited to bring the In A Pickle Festival to New Braunfels, Tx.! March 15th, 2025, 11am-5pm at the Comal County Fairgrounds. We have hosted the In A Pickle Festival in the Houston area for 6 years with much success and are excited about our expansion. We created this Festival in 2019 to bring some fun and liveliness back to Kingwood after hurricane Harvey and to help bring awareness to the nonprofit Hunter Syndrome, a very rare genetic disease. We are looking to expand in the Texas area so we can cater to even more pickle lovers around the state. As a born and raised Austinite we feel that New Braunfels is a great central location.



We are expected to have thousands of people come relish in the fun at this inaugural event!

We will have around 140 unique food vendors and artisan crafters, carrying at least one pickle themed item, food trucks carrying a unique pickle food for example; pickle fried corn dogs, Nashville fried pickles, "Picklerita" Italian ice, pickle lemonade, and pickle cake pops just to name a few. Entertainment includes; adult/kids pickle eating and drinking competition, a pickle canning contest judged by professional chefs, free entertainment for kids, a pickled pet parade, bull riding, live local band, pickleball with The Cranky Pickle, and more!

We have also teamed up with Athlete Guild and will be having a St. Patty's Pickle 5k / Kid Run to kick off the festivities, starting and ending at the event Fairgrounds.
