Virtual Gallery Tour with
Sara-Jayne Parsons, Director and Curator
TCU Contemporary Art Gallery
“The Contemporary Art Gallery has an exciting new show that opens March 12, 2021 with artist Christie Blizard https://www.christieblizard.com/. She has written and filmed a new opera (with TCU art students as performers) for the center of her exhibition at our Fort Worth Contemporary Arts space. It is beautifully bonkers – – we filmed it in the Cowtown Coliseum and it includes alien figures, an hermaphrodite cow and animated Texas mythical figures of a tumbleweed, cactus and armadillo!” said Gallery Director Sara-Jayne Parsons.
Watch the 35 minute opera “Let My Body Eat the Sun“
I encourage tour participants to watch Christie’s opera ahead of time if they can. It’s about 35 minutes. When we do the tour you will be able to see it as a projection in the background but we won’t have time to watch together. Also, it will give participants some time to digest and think of some questions to ask perhaps.
