Here are two openings on behalf of the folks at Ro2 gallery. The first, at the Magnolia Theatre, features photography by Dannie Liebergot that was created during the artist’s residency at Listhús Artspace in Ólafsfjörður, Iceland. In the gallery’s Cedars space, Thomas Menikos’ installation of appropriated consumer goods grapples with the fuzzy boundaries between adolescence and adulthood.
James Behan at Cliff Gallery at Mountain View College — Friday, May 6, 6-9 p.m. 4849 W. Illinois Ave. Dallas, TX 75211.
Mountain View professor and painter James Behan creates abstract work by building up layers of color and texture, a process that is intended to mimic and symbolize the profundity — and fragility — of nature.
CentralTrak tête-à-tête with Erica Stephens at CentralTrak — Friday, May 6 at 7 p.m. 800 Exposition Ave. Dallas, TX 75226.
UTD’s artist residency CentralTrak kicks-off a series of panel discussions about higher education, residency programs, and the role these play in artists’ careers. This week’s discussion features H. Schenck, an artist and educator, and Thomas Riccio, performance artist and Professor of Performance and Aesthetic Studies at the University of Texas at Dallas, and it will be moderated by artist Erica Stephens.
K Yoland: Hidden Histories at The Reading Room — Saturday, May 7, 6-9 p.m. 3715 Parry Ave. Dallas, TX 75226.
K. Yoland: Letters Without an Address at The MAC — Saturday, May 7, 7-10 p.m. 1601 South Ervay St. Dallas, TX 75215.
Two exhibitions by British-born, Marfa/Dallas-dwelling artist K. Yoland open this weekend, one at the newly expanded Mac and the other at the tiny Reading Room gallery near Fair Park. A conceptually and politically astute, photographically grounded artist, Yoland’s video at the Reading Room will correspond to her videos in the Mac’s Cedars space, which pair footage of southern Dallas with fictitious letters written in response to news reports and historical events.
