Installed across the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, CARRY ONS was a show of contemporary Texas art and design. In small cases lining the concourse, were displays of art/design objects small enough to be toted under a seat or in an overhead compartment. In some instances, the objects could themselves be considered luggage (sacks, baskets, skateboards). Posters accompany the objects as advertisements for non-commercial, often oblique, thoughts.
In two large display cases on opposite sides of the concourse, Mike Reddy and Lisa Choinacky installed twenty-plus feet long drawings on the experience of travel. Mike Reddy’s Between Gates is a warm observation of the commuter crowd. Lisa Choinacky’s Air Routes is a set of ten connected ink drawings, visualizations of human-scale jet streams.
Before the closing, Bill McCullough photographed the show focusing not on the art as much as the travelers who stopped to look.
