Maria Cristina Jadick's sculptural installation "The Price of Oil $94,375 (How Many More?)" is a political piece at the center of the "Texas Sculpture Group Interior Exhibition" at the Blue Star Contemporary Art Center through Aug. 18. 2012.

Created for the 10th anniversary of 9/11, Maria Cristina Jadick's sculptural installation “The Price of Oil $94,395 (How Many More?)” is a scathing indictment of the U.S. government's Middle East policy, as well as a tribute to the soldiers who have fallen in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“Where national conversation has increasingly become stymied by screaming extremes,” the Cuban American, Texas-based artist says in a statement, “the intent of this work is to foster nonjudgmental, non-threatening space for open, civil conversation about a controversial topic.”

Jadick's multimedia work, comprising hundreds of small photos of soldiers as a backdrop to black oil drums as pedestals for Army boots, and a uniform sewn with cloth name tags, is the centerpiece of the “Texas Sculpture Group Interior Exhibition” at the Blue Star Contemporary Art Center.

The complementary show to “San Antonio Painters” was juried and curated by internationally renowned British sculptor Phillip King in conjunction with the recent symposium “Scale: A Gathering of Sculptors.”

The exhibition also features Steve Brudniak's steampunkish vision “Heirophantic Aperture,” as well as Jesús Moroles' “Disc Spiral,” Brooke Gassiot's “Pressure,” featuring a whitewashed old TV console, and works by several other prominent Texas sculptors.
