Past Deposits from a Future Yet to Come
Premiering March 2, 2024 at Moody Amphitheater at Waterloo Park
7:00pm – Program Begins
7:30pm – Live Performance
Free and open to the public
Past Deposits from a Future Yet to Come is a new video art installation by internationally recognized artists Teresa Hubbard / Alexander Birchler which features historic artifacts discovered along Waller Creek from the mid-19th to mid-20th centuries. The installation explores the ways in which these objects connect us to Austin’s past, present, and future, offering a glimpse into the daily lives of people who once lived and worked along the creek.
Opening night festivities include a viewing of the installation alongside a free live performance of the musical score composed by Alex Weston.
Scheduled to be on view for five years, the installation will be open to the public and shown every night at Moody Amphitheater, except evenings when a ticketed concert or other special event is taking place.

Kay Rosen in conversation with Terry R. Myers in The Brooklyn Rail:
"I learn a lot from others’ interpretations. I start from a very specific place of discovery or curiosity about language, but I can’t control where it lands."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LORA REYNOLDS GALLERY IS MOVING
Lora Reynolds is pleased to announce the gallery is moving—its new home, at 1126 West Sixth Street in Austin, is just west of downtown, nestled between Clark's Oyster Bar and Swedish Hill. After 16 years of programming at the 360 Tower (and 18 years in operation), Reynolds is looking forward to offering the gallery's artists a new environment to stretch their imaginations. The gallery will have about 1100 square feet of exhibition space (similar to the size of its previous location) in addition to a small library.
The inaugural exhibition at Lora Reynolds Gallery in Clarksville will be by fraternal twins Niki and Simon Haas, known as the Haas Brothers. Niki and Simon grew up just a few blocks north of the new gallery, and have fond memories of overindulging at the former Sweetish Hill Bakery & Cafe.
The historic building at 1126 West Sixth Street was built in 1925 in the Mission Revival style; its original Alamo-inspired façade is still intact. It housed DA Goldstein's Grocery Store and Slaughter's Grocery Store for the first few decades of its life, before being occupied by Cunningham Community Stores and Tucker's Department Store in the 1950s. Reynolds is excited about being a part of McGuire Moorman Lambert Hospitality's vision for the future of this block—Clarksvillage—which will include a low-slung hub of restaurants, shops, a hotel, and private residences designed by acclaimed Swiss architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron.
The new gallery was designed by the same architects responsible for Lora Reynolds Gallery's previous two homes, David Fox and Chris Stone of STONEFOX in New York. The phrase that anchors their practice is "Where architecture, art, and design meet," and they have specialized in creating spaces for art and art lovers since 2002. Reynolds has worked with Stone and Fox on various projects almost continuously since they began their firm; their sensibilities have evolved together, culminating—for now—in the completion of the new gallery.
Lighting design was provided by Anita Jorgensen, whose firm in New York has won numerous awards for their work over the last 20 years. Highlights from her portfolio include commissions for the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, Frick Collection, Jewish Museum, Morgan Library & Museum, Rhode Island School of Design Museum, and Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History.
Lora Reynolds established the gallery in March 2005 after working with Anthony d'Offay Gallery in London and Matthew Marks Gallery in New York. She focuses on living artists who are making museum-quality work and showing at galleries in major art centers around the world. By offering a venue in a smaller city—and showing work in any and all media—she hopes to give artists a safe space to dream more fearlessly than they may have been able to elsewhere. She works with artists whose ideas about the world enrich her own and hopes their work might do the same for the art-curious in Austin and beyond.
Lora Reynolds—her collection, and the story of her life in the art world—is the subject of a new profile on Artnet, link here.
“The most meaningful artworks in my own home are all tied up with my own relationships with artists and the experiences I’ve shared with them over the years. My collection helps me know myself and reminds me of the people and ideas I hold dear.”
