DREDGING UP THE PAST. In 1996, Obsidian Gallery gathered up some beautiful artwork -- and buried it.
Thomas Mann's Oxidation/Burial Project enlisted the participation of galleries and museums in 15 communities. Artists contributed work to be placed in boxes and "buried"--to be retrieved this year and evaluated in terms of aging, decay, aesthetics and value.
Mann, who is among the best known practitioners of contemporary craft in the United States, will be present Saturday for a ceremonial "unburial" and reception at Obsidian Gallery.
The event coincides with an exhibition of Mann's new work. The show is to run through December 29.
The reception is 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday at Obsidian in St. Philip's Plaza, Suite 90. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sundays. For more information, call 577-3598.
