Blue Star Contemporary Art Center is once again joining FOTOSEPTIEMBRE USA with a comprehensive series of exhibits housed in their four galleries. The FOTOSEPTIEMBRE USA exhibits at Blue Star Contemporary Art Center are always a great draw for fans of contemporary forms of the photographic arts, and add a well articulated layer of exhibitions to our festival.

In what is surely a fortuitous funding and public relations coup, Bill Fitzgibbons, Executive Director of Blue Star Contemporary Art Center, in partnership with the Lannan Foundation, has arranged to present the exhibit The History Of The Future, which is curated by Nancy Sutor, and features the work of Michael Berman and Julián Cardona. Special thanks for the realization of this exhibit in the Main Gallery goes to Libby D. Tilley.

Ron Binks, with his Black Sites installation in Gallery 4, presents a conceptual interpretation of the rendition sites used by the CIA for interrogations during the Irag war.

Jason Willome, son of our friend Tom Willome, presents his multi-media installation Extensions in Blue Star’s Project Space. We are glad to see that the time-proven tradition of passing the artistic torch from generation to generation is alive and well in San Antonio.
