Through Feb. 26 The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth continues its Focus series with the works of Cornelia Parker. British sculptor Parker is fascinated with real-world processes that mimic cartoon "killings," such as steamrolling, shooting things full of holes, falling from cliffs, and explosions. Parker works with a variety of found objects, including silverware and marching band instruments, which she crushes, stretches and suspends. She has also blown up structures (such as a garden shed) whose parts she then made into mobiles that are hung from the gallery ceiling. Obviously humor is involved, but at its core Parker's work is a process of destruction, resurrection and reconfiguration. Gen.

He contributed to five of the eight Impressionist exhibitions-more than either Renoir or Sisley-and was the most active artist-collector of Impressionist paintings after Caillebotte.

In "Focus on Photographs," see ten revolutionary images created by the innovative American photographer Man Ray (1890-1976), who made cameraless photographs, or photograms, by placing objects like toasters, light bulbs and irons on a piece of photographic paper or film and then exposing the film or paper to light. Through "Exploring Sight," look back thirty years to when an explosion of public and museum interest in artistic photography sparked experimentation among younger photographers with their craft.

He has been praised by people such as Joe Ely and Delbert McClinton. A native of Birmingham, Alabama, Montgomery moved to Texas at the age of 12, joining the fertile musical scene around the restored town of Luckenbach. Performing with his mother at Hill Country picking parlors, he quickly absorbed everything he could about technique and the "deep roots" music of the region. Later, when leading his own band, he began to develop his trademark electrified acoustic guitar style. Now, his stunning live performances and albums have earned him words of praise in the music press and an ever-widening touring circuit throughout the U.S. Tickets $20. 9 p.m. McNair Studio, 301 East 5th St., 817-212-4325, www.basshall.com. 25 Daniel-Meyer Coliseum-Ft.
