COLLECTIVE features works by Dallas-based artists Fred Villanueva and Juan Cruz. Both are affiliated with Ash Studios, a community arts center near Fair Park where artists and local residents collaborate, experiment and explore cultural and political ideas. The show at the Pollock mirrors the collective nature of Ash Studios and the work that Cruz and Villanueva undertake there. The exhibit features four paintings by Cruz and 11 by Villanueva, along with two Villanueva sculptures that are prototypes for public art projects. Two of Villanueva’s paintings are accompanied by digital topographic prints on paper that represent Indigenous archeological sites. The works embody the artists’ interest in the city as a space for collective learning and creation, particularly the making of art that is scalable and architecturally relevant, including murals and public art projects.
