(Oct. 31, 2012) -- The UTSA Satellite Space and the UTSA Department of Art and Art History, will present "Repetition and Ritual," an exhibit of photography, video and fabric works by Julie Ledet, and "Life is an Electric Whip," an exhibit of sculpture and installation works by Ivan Salcido. Free and open to the public, the exhibits will run Nov. 1-18.

>> Opening receptions are 6-9 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 1 and First Friday, Nov. 2.

Ledet's M.F.A. thesis exhibition includes photographs, a photographic installation, a video installation, a performance video and fabric works with narratives that expose the spectrum of emotions, rituals and repetitious behaviors derived from obsessive compulsive tendencies. The work largely represents a self-initiated healing process that resembles the superstitious and sacred rituals experienced in Southern Louisiana culture.

Salcido"s exhibit draws inspiration from architecture, urban construction sites and an array of found objects. The discarded, commonplace objects and industrial materials are transformed into sculptures and installations built on the poetic reality of their original purpose. The balance between scale and mass and the interaction of the thrown-away objects and live, electrical components work together to bring something new to life. Salcido manipulates a space by evoking a precarious equilibrium of objects that are at home in the gallery, a domestic environment or even an alley.
