Cao Fei: "Whose Utopia"
Cao Fei’s 2006 video Whose Utopia highlights the workforce at the OSRAM lighting factory located in China’s Pearl River Delta region. At the time the film was made, OSRAM was one of the largest manufacturers of light bulbs in the world. Fei created the work during her six-month artist residency at the factory. She filmed daily activities, documented the production process and collaborated with workers to develop a variety of performances that were staged and filmed within the factory.

Next we'll visit the current major exhibition:
In Creative Harmony: Three Artistic Partnerships

Arshile Gorky and Isamu Noguchi
José Guadalupe Posada and Artemio Rodríguez
Nora Naranjo Morse and Eliza Naranjo Morse

No artist creates in isolation. Shared visual languages, techniques, and concerns shape artistic innovation.
In Creative Harmony explores the ways in which artists inspire each other by highlighting the relationships between three pairs of artists: inter-generational Mexican printmakers José Guadalupe Posada and Artemio Rodríguez; friends and innovators in abstract painting and sculpture Arshile Gorky and Isamu Noguchi; and Nora Naranjo Morse and her daughter Eliza Naranjo Morse, who will be creating new work together for the first time.

JOIN Us for our 2nd ALL NEW show AMAGING!
This show SOLD OUT on Superbowl Sunday last year because it is that GAYMAGING!
Tickets are sliding scale and can be bought here:
https://the-vortex.my.salesforce-sites.com/ticket#/events/a0SUf0000024KS1MAM

ENG-ASL Interpreters will be provided each night.
A portion of the ticket sales supports the ongoing work of Rainbow Connections ATX, a program of Family Eldercare that serves and uplifts Austin Area LGBTQIA2+ Elders.

I often say that hanging out with older people is like getting a postcard from your future, and who wouldn't want to read that? It's not always the easiest thing to find somebody 30 years older or younger than you, life inevitably brings us to different spaces. We’ve done the work for you, and you’re invited!
AMAGING! is a collection of five people in the Queer Qmmunity in Austin, ages 65 -91 who are willing to share their stories on stage. The audience is invited to shatter their pre-existing ideas of what aging means and re imagine a future inspired by the proof in front of them.
Proof that age is more than just a number ~ it's a story and story is the thing that connects us all.

Produced by The Vortex, World Famous *BOB*, Rainbow Connections ATX a program of Family Eldercare.
Directed by World Famous *BOB* (53)
World Famous *BOB* is the Program Coordinator as well as
“co-queerator” of Rainbow Connections ATX, a program of Family Eldercare.
