The materials in this bibliography are arranged by collection unit of the Austin History Center. Within each collection unit, items are arranged in shelf-list order. This bibliography is one in a series of updates of the original 1979 bibliography. It reflects the addition of materials to the Austin History Center based on the recommendations and donations of many generous individuals and support groups. The Austin History Center card catalog supplements the online computer catalog by providing analytical entries to information in periodicals and other materials in addition to listing collection holdings by author, title, and subject. These entries, although indexing ended in the 1990s, lead to specific articles and other information in sources that would otherwise be time-consuming to find and could be easily overlooked.

After its presentation in Austin, the exhibition will travel to Aspen in fall 2019. Abraham Cruzvillegas: Hi, how are you, Gonzo? March 30 – July 14, 2019 MARCH 18, 2019, AUSTIN, TEXAS – From March 30 through July 14, 2019, The Contemporary Austin—led by Executive Director and CEO Louis Grachos—will present an exhibition by artist Abraham Cruzvillegas (born 1968 in Mexico City) at its Jones Center location, 700 Congress Avenue in downtown Austin. Abraham Cruzvillegas: Hi, how are you, Gonzo? will fill both floors of the museum with site-specific, mixed media work in which recycled materials are transformed into abstract sculptural objects. These objects are then used as platforms to engage other artists, community members, and museum visitors as active participants in the artworks, allowing for creativity, experimentation, and social dialogue through collaborative “activations” that complete and transform the works on view. The exhibition is co-organized by Heather Pesanti, Chief Curator & Director of Curatorial Affairs at The Contemporary Austin, and Heidi Zuckerman, the Nancy and Bob Magoon CEO and Director of the Aspen Art Museum, where the exhibition will be on view from October 25, 2019, through January 2020. Abraham Cruzvillegas’s dynamic artistic practice begins with the concept of autoconstrucción—loosely defined as “self-construction,” an idea inspired by the artist’s home outside Mexico City and his interest in transformation, collaboration, and improvisation.

  • Public Land Use in Austin
    PUBLIC LAND USE IN AUSTIN Research October 2016 INTRODUCTION: AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE REGION Last year’s unsuccessful bond initiative to build a new Travis County civil courthouse helped turn the spotlight on how tax-exempt public land holdings impact the Central Texas real estate market. Many opponents of the courthouse bond, including the Real Estate Council of Austin (RECA), argued that the prime Downtown Austin block would be better used for a private project that would add to, rather than take away from, the property tax base that supports our local government services. At the same time, Travis County, which owns more than 1,100 pieces of property throughout the county, could explore whether those land assets could accommodate its civil court needs while reinvesting in and revitalizing communities.1 To keep up with the city’s rapid growth, RECA has estimated a need for 15,000 new housing units each year for the next decade, located at a range of price points and in all parts of Austin. The land assets owned by public sector entities offer potential sites for building housing that can help achieve that goal. The previously proposed courthouse block — right off Republic Square, surrounded by major existing and emerging high-rise projects, and unencumbered by Capitol view corridors — is a particularly vivid example of a phenomenon that deserves to be better understood. According to the Travis Central Appraisal District’s records, more than 6,000 pieces of property in Travis County are owned by local, state and federal government entities. To be sure, many of those properties are being used to provide important public services, and others (for example, floodplain buyouts) are unsuitable for future redevelopment.

Exhibition of new and recent work by Carol Bove opens November 18, 2017. SEPTEMBER 1, 2017, AUSTIN, TEXAS – This fall, The Contemporary Austin will feature exhibitions by John Bock, Ryan Gander, Wangechi Mutu, and Carol Bove at its two locations—the Jones Center at 700 Congress Avenue in downtown Austin and the fourteen-acre sculpture park at Laguna Gloria at 3809 West 35th Street. First, opening September 23 are exhibitions of work by John Bock, Ryan Gander, and Wangechi Mutu. On view on the first floor of the Jones Center on Congress Avenue, John Bock’s Dead + Juicy centers around a film newly commissioned by the Contemporary Austin that was shot in and around Austin, Texas. Labeled an “uncanny musical” by the artist, the film blends classic westerns and dark comedy with spooky thriller and horror aesthetics. The film will be accompanied by an exhibition of what the artist calls a “sum mutation”—an installation of reconfigured sculptures created for the film, reconstructed in stage-like environments in the first floor galleries. Upstairs at the Jones Center, Wangechi Mutu brings together both new and existing work, anchored by a new, site- specific edition of Throw, 2017, an action painting generated by a performance in which Mutu throws black paper pulp against the wall, creating an abstract composition that dries, hardens, and then degrades over time.

    Copyright by Benjamin Andrew Martin 2019 The Report Committee for Benjamin Andrew Martin Certifies that this is the approved version of the following Report: Code Enforcement Activity and Impact in Austin, TX’s Gentrifying Neighborhoods APPROVED BY SUPERVISING COMMITTEE: Jacob Wegmann, Supervisor Elizabeth Mueller Code Enforcement Activity and Impact in Austin, TX’s Gentrifying Neighborhoods by Benjamin Andrew Martin Report Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Community and Regional Planning The University of Texas at Austin May 2019 Acknowledgements I am deeply grateful for the guidance, advice, and mentorship of Jake Wegmann and Liz Mueller, on this project and so many others. Thank you to my interviewees in the Austin Code department and Austin tenant advocacy community. This project would not have been possible without their generosity, time, and wisdom. Heather Way and the rest of the “Uprooted” research team paved the way for this report and guided me into a deeper understanding of displacement risk, tenant support, and residential affordability issues. Lynn Osgood bolstered me with unhesitant support and provided sage advice on the soft wheelings and dealings of Austin civic life. Zac Traeger and Shirley Rempe were invaluable sounding boards and thought partners on all things Austin regulatory environment-related. And, of course, thank you from the bottom of my heart to my partner Beth Link for spurring this new phase of growth and supporting me every step of the way. Now let me try to return the favor.
