More About

Imagine that Cervantes’ quixotic hero weren’t so deluded after all, and that he truly saw fantastic adventures of derring-do that the rest of us Sancho Panzas can hardly conceive. Well, Dallas artist Liz London has just such a vision and would-be Knights Templar will love her exhibition Seeking Infinity, which runs from January 19 through February 25 at Mercantile Coffee House. A mixed-media and found-art “allegorical representation of personal adventures,” London's kaleidoscopic exhibition comprises “curiosities discovered from travel,” including, for instance, a copy of an actual launch ticket from the Titanic, "coalesced with painting, drawing, rubbing and collaging.” Partnered with the McKinney Avenue Contemporary as part of their community outreach, Mercantile will hold an opening reception on January 26 from 6 to 7:30 p.m at 1800 Main St. Call 214-953-1212 or visit the-mac.org for more information.
