The Art Gallery at Musical Bridges Around the World is pleased to announce “Bygone Texas,” an exhibition by photographers John Mattson and Karen Zimmerly that opens with a reception. The exhibition is on view through November 3.

Presented in conjunction with Fotoseptiembre USA, these sometimes humorous, sometimes wistful, yet always provocative images capture the quirky, poetic remains of abandoned spaces and towns in west Texas. Working together but photographing independently, the aesthetic visions and distinct personalities of this artist couple emerge in subtle shifts of emphasis, composition, and interpretation. Mattson and Zimmerly began making these photo excursions in 1982. Their ongoing project has become a document not only of the changing rural landscape, but also of the evolving aesthetics of the artists themselves.

The reception includes wine, bites and music. Gallery hours are by appointment from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday-Friday. Call (210) 464-1534 for an appointment.
