Presented by FotoFest and Houston Center for Photography (HCP)

| Ben Aqua |
The Talent in Texas series focuses on photo-related works by artists living and working in Texas. The exhibition features 12-15 artists. The organizations have commissioned Arturo Palacios (Director, Art Palace, Austin) and Risa Puleo (Assistant Curator of American and Contemporary Art, Blanton Museum of Art, Austin) to co-curate this new exhibition, the third in a series. The 2008-2009 Talent in Texas exhibition is a collaboration between FotoFest and HCP. The exhibition will span both spaces.
Viewfinder explores the wide scope of photographic art practice today from traditional film-based still photography to video and installation work. Featured artists are: Ben Aqua (Austin); Rebecca S. Carter (Dallas); Piotr Chizinski (Lubbock); Beau Comeaux (Dallas); Emilie Duval (Beaumont); Robin Germany (Slaton); Buster Graybill (Huntsville); Anna Krachey (Austin); Ivan Lozano (Austin); Lupita Murillo Tinnen (Fort Worth); Justin Parr (San Antonio); Zeque Peña (El Paso); Eduardo Garcia (Laredo); Ansen Seale (San Antonio) and David Waddell (Houston).
