Genesis

Fort Worth Gallery - Ether

Exhibition on Display: September 1 - 30, 2023 | Works by Diana Rojas

Ether explores human attempts to observe the sun through diagrams, etched glass, sculptures, stained glass, and sand. Glass serves as the intermediary between humanity and the unknown. Diagrams, human communication and learning tools, act as a representation of what is between text and object and are another attempt at human understanding. Around the 1650s, some European cathedrals acted as solar observatories and places of worship. Using these sites as a launching point for conceptual and artistic exploration, Rojas reimagines devices and architectural components as tools and devices that represent that which is known and unknown. Through digital fabrication, traditional methods, AI sketching, and intuitive processes Rojas creates a space that is meant to prompt introspection.

 

ENRICHING THE COMMUNITY THROUGH ART

Part of the mission of Arts Fort Worth is to provide a quality event, visual and performing arts venue for all of the community. This historic and dynamic arts complex boasts seven indoor galleries, an outdoor gallery, artist and performance studios, and office suites for nonprofit arts organizations and is managed by Arts Fort Worth on behalf of the City of Fort Worth.

Arts Fort Worth also provides educational programming, promotes experienced and emerging artists. The three theater spaces hosts a wide-range of performances by local and nationally known artists and organizations- the Hardy and Betty Sanders black box theater, the traditional William Edrington Scott Theatre, and The Vault, which hosts Fort Worth Fringe acts.

HISTORY

Located at 1300 Gendy Street, Fort Worth Community Arts Center is part of the most architecturally significant museum districts in the United States. The striking modern Herbert Bayer building (with a later O'Neil Ford addition) opened to the public in 1954 as home to one of the most prestigious and oldest collecting organizations in the state of Texas, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. When, in 2002, the Modern moved down the street, the Fort Worth Community Arts Center opened. The building continues to exhibit world class art and support the performing arts for more than half a century.
