| March 31st - May 28th 2005 |
| Ursuline Hall Gallery | Ursuline Campus |
| San Antonio artist exhibits new paintings. Writes Valderas: "...the imagery of rockers and calaveras is my attenpt to reconcile my fears, hopes, and dreams about the future, a future that will be determined by the conscious and unconscious actions of both the past and present. I create to see the world more clearly, to gain insight via hindsight. In short, my work is a celebration of life that also questions and criticizes our universal indifference to the co-existence of so many things..." |

| Dwayne Bohuslav & Joanne Brigham: ICE |
| November 10th - January 8th 2006 |
| Russell Hill Rogers Gallery | Navarro Campus |
ICE, a constructed realm and ephemeral response by Dwayne Bohuslav and Joanne Brigham, invited viewers to enter the underside of an ethereal world, beneath a floating seascape of suspended ice-like materials.
Bohuslav, an architect by training and a member of the faculty at San Antonio College and Houston Community College, created the full-body, full-space, multi-sensory installation.
ICE collaborator and performance artist Joanne Brigham moved through, under, over and along the ice-like installation, accompanied by haunting sounds of the tundra. Brigham’s performance works have been seen at Houston’s Museum of Fine Arts, and she, too, is a faculty member at Houston's Community College.

| Yuriko Yamaguchi: WEB #5 |
| November 10th - January 8th 2006 |
| Russell Hill Rogers Gallery | Navarro Campus |
The installation WEB #5, a floating scultpure by Yuriko Yamaguchi, uses abaca, cotton pulp and flax to create clouds of small seed-like pods suspended from carefully crumpled wire. WEB #5 has been described as "a rush of swallows in mid-flight" and a "three-dimensional drawing of improvisatory vigor." Howard Fox, chief curator of the LA County Museum of Art, has written that “paradox, transformation, connection and harmony are the essence of Yamaguchi’s art…”.
Born in Osaka, Japan, Yamaguchi's work has been featured in more than 30 one-person exhibitions, including a 2004 exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art in Kamakura, Japan, and at the 1998 ‘Abstract Craft’ exhibition here at SSAC. Her work is in major collections, including the Hirshhorn Museum and the National Museum of American Art. |
