Post-film discussion with artist James Surls
Moderated by Pete Gershon, coordinator, Core Residency Program, Glassell School of Art

Independent filmmaker Ken Harrison provides a look into the contemporary Texas art world of the mid-1970s. Jackelope is loosely divided into three segments focusing on three young artists: James Surls, George Green, and Bob Wade. This fascinating time capsule captures each artist in casual moments, sharing ideas about art, the artistic process, and life in Texas. Jackelope also includes appearances by fellow Texas artists John Alexander, Mel Casas, Letitia Eldridge, and Mike McNamara. Unseen for many years, Jackelope is presented in a new digital restoration.

Co-presented with the Core Program
