'Viewfinder: New Images by Texas Artists' at The Dallas Contemporary, on view through August 22, 2009, includes gallery artists Beau Comeaux's large-format night photographs depicting rural and suburban scenes devoid of a human presence with eerie stillness reminiscent of classic horror movies; and, Anna Krachey's installation of show horse ephemera ~ documents of highly priced animals (thought to have lost their worth by purchasing them from online sites such as eBay and Craigslist) and repurposing them for art.
