Work from the three artists on display at the McKinney Avenue Contemporary have little in common, but all "deal with women's issues in compelling and provocative ways," if the MAC is to be believed. Mary Beth Edelson's There Is Never Only One Game in Town and Other Stories is an overview of an artist who's been active since the Civil Rights movement. Molly Gochman's Lullabies installation aims to address sleep, childhood and song, while in the New Works Space, Minmyo Kim's NEED: reflection features simple yet marvelously striking photographs, such as one shot of a hand clutching an upper arm with fingers digging into the flesh. The exhibitions continue through December 11 at the MAC, 3120 McKinney Ave. Hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. Suggested donation is $4 to $5. Call 214-953-1212 or visit the-mac.org for more information.
Wednesdays-Saturdays, 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Starts: Nov. 6. Continues through Dec. 11, 2010
