SUMMARY:Space One Eleven presents art exhibitions by El Paso artist José Villalobos and local artist Jason Tanner Young
DESCRIPTION:Space One Eleven\npresents \n“Navegando la Masculinidad de la Frontera / Navigating the Border’s Masculinity“ by José Villalobos \nand \n“see saw sawn” by Jason Tanner Young \nOpening reception with the artists\nThursday\, February 19\, 2026\n5:30 to 7:00 pm \nSpace One Eleven Art Center\n2407 Second Avenue North\nDowntown Birmingham \nJosé Villalobos is a multidisciplinary artist exploring identity\, queerness\, and cultural heritage through sculpture\, performance\, and installation. Growing up between El Paso\, Texas\, and Ciudad Juárez\, Mexico\, he confronts the conflicts between tradition\, faith\, and sexuality within Mexican and American cultures. Rooted in personal experience\, his practice challenges machismo and the violence of assimilation\, transforming materials and symbols to reclaim queer visibility. Villalobos has exhibited nationally and internationally and is a recipient of the Joan Mitchell Painters & Sculptors Grant. Recently he became a Trellis Art Fund Stepping Stone Fellow. His work affirms resilience\, tenderness\, and the power of self-expression within queer and borderland communities. \nFor the exhibition “Navegando la Masculinidad de la Frontera / Navigating the Border’s Masculinity\,” Villalobos presents a collection of new and past works that create a dialogue about masculinities within Norteño culture\, its subcultural predecessors\, and related historical movements. Villalobos’ aesthetic often combines the rugged iconography of the West (boots\, cowboy hats\, leather\, ropes) with the flamboyance\, glitter\, and vulnerability of queer expression. The result is a powerful tension: the imagery of strength\, control\, even violence (e.g.\, rodeo\, bull-taming) juxtaposed with fragility\, costume play\, and critique of the structures that define “manhood.” \nJason Tanner Young received a Master of Fine Arts degree in Sculpture from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2011 and a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Texas at Tyler in 2008. He is currently an Associate Professor of Art and director of the Sculpture concentration at the University of Montevallo. Young previously worked at Ohio University\, where he taught courses in Sculpture + Expanded Practice as well as the Foundations Department. \nYoung was awarded the Pentaculum Scholarship in Woodworking to participate in the week-long residency\, Spring Pentaculum\, at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts (2022). At the University of Montevallo he received a Summer Stipend for Pre-Tenured Faculty (2020)\, and he has also received a Teaching and Scholarly Projects Grant (2022). \nYoung shows his work extensively\, and has been included in exhibitions at the Alabama Contemporary Art Center (Mobile\, AL)\, Lowe Mill Arts and Entertainment (Huntsville\, AL)\, Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts (Gatlinburg\, TN)\, The Sculpture Center (Cleveland\, OH)\, Axis Gallery (Sacramento\, CA)\, Weston Art Gallery (Cincinnati\, OH)\, Manifest Gallery (Cincinnati\, OH) the Young Sculptors Competition at Miami University (Miami\, OH)\, the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts (Montgomery\, AL)\, Visual Art Exchange (Raleigh\, NC)\, Evansville Museum (Evansville\, IN)\, and Rosalux Gallery (Minneapolis\, MN) among many others. \nThe exhibition will continue\nFebruary 20 through April 17\, 2026. \nGallery hours are Tuesday through Friday\, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm\, and by appointment. \nAdmission is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Lurks Behind Vol. 2
DESCRIPTION:“Lurks Behind Vol. 2” is the second installment in a powerful three-part dance series by Southern DanceWorks that transforms community stories into dynamic performance art. Set in Birmingham’s historic neighborhoods\, this year’s production centers on two of the ninety-nine communities rich with resilience\, pride\, and untold narratives. Through dance\, spoken word\, and multimedia design\, the event creates a living archive of neighborhood experiences\, shaped directly by residents through Heart Workshops: Talking and Moving. These intimate sessions allow community members to share personal reflections on pressing issues such as food insecurity\, housing\, and local identity\, which then become the emotional and choreographic foundation of the performance. \nDirected by internationally acclaimed choreographer Germaul Barnes and created in collaboration with a diverse team of Birmingham-based artists\, “Lurks Behind Vol. 2” redefines how the arts engage with social justice and civic dialogue. The performance blurs the line between audience and performer\, inviting the public not just to witness\, but to reflect on what lies beneath the surface of everyday places and people. By centering local voices and stories\, Southern DanceWorks brings movement to memory and meaning—offering a vision of the arts as both mirror and catalyst for community transformation.

SUMMARY:Porcelain Vessels Workshop with John Oles
DESCRIPTION:In this hands-on workshop\, we will explore ways of working with porcelain to create functional and sculptural forms using techniques such as altering\, darting\, faceting\, and slip decorating to take advantage of properties inherent to the material. \nOur focus will be based on the vessel\, though not always in the context of the functional pot\, with an emphasis on creating forms that enhance daily life by showing off the unique characteristics of porcelain such as surface\, color\, fluidity and translucency. The teaching artist will provide a selection of glazes for students to choose from. The finished pieces will be glazed and fired in a cone 10 reduction atmosphere. \nThis is a great introduction to working with porcelain for students who have always been curious about it or those who wish to expand their vocabulary of techniques and skillset. Because of the nature of the material\, it is recommended that students come with some prior clay experience and be able to throw a 2.5lb-3lb. bowl or cylinder. \nThis workshop is taught by John Oles. John Oles was born in Wrentham\, Massachusetts\, and holds a BFA in Ceramics from the University of Massachusetts (1998) and an MFA from Tulane University (2008) in New Orleans\, Louisiana. John taught ceramics at Loyola University from 2008-2013. Currently\, John is Associate Professor of Ceramics at Jacksonville State University in Jacksonville\, AL.
