Headliner Angel Cabrales, sculpture professor at The University of Texas at El Paso, comes to town with his droll, but prescient exhibition, "It Came from Beyond the Border." The show parodies American border paranoia; one seminal image equates our time with Sci-Fi thrillers from the '50s and '60s where earthlings lived under the constant threat of alien attack from outer space (January 18 – February 23) … Beyond Still Life: At Galleri Urbane, dual solos for Stephen D'Onofrio and Liss LaFleur bear loaded meaning that unfolds upon close viewing (January 12 – February 16).
