Description:
On Saturday, April 17, 2010, Meg Mulloy and I took a group of 9 students down to San Marcos, TX for the reception and lecture associated with two exhibitions: ¡Viva México!: Celebrating the country in photographs; and Vaquero: Genesis of the Texas Cowboy, photographs by Bill Wittliff.
The lecture was given by Connie Todd, recently retired Curator of The Wittliff Collection of Southwestern & Mexican Photography. The exhibition took advantage of the newly remodeled and expanded Wittliff Collection space, which appears to have roughly doubled its area on the 7th floor of the Alkek Library at Texas State University—San Marcos.
Students from Shudder Budder—the student photography group at The Art Institute of Austin—interviewed one another in their first trip to The Wittliff Collection.
