Ostillo Art Foundation Opens in East Austin with Inaugural Exhibition 'Masquerade'
The Ostillo Art Foundation, established by art collector and developer René Campos from Austin, is set to welcome visitors on Saturday, September 19, in East Austin’s Rosewood neighborhood. This venue features an exhibition area, a public library, and an outdoor space for performances, including the Eastside Kings Festival, which celebrates Austin’s blues legacy. Sacha Zerbib holds the position of Founding Director. The name Ostillo, inspired by Renaissance mathematician Ostilio Ricci (Galileo's mentor) with a slight alteration to suggest 'Still,' embodies the foundation's belief in art's power to convey messages. Its first exhibition, 'Masquerade,' showcases the theme of masks through various art forms. Notable artists include Kader Attia and Marlene Dumas. A lecture series by Dr. Jean Capeille will complement the exhibition. Ostillo is located at 2600 Rosewood Ave, Austin, TX 78702, operating Friday to Sunday.
