SUMMARY:Deangelo McMahon\, Jr.: High-Speed Channel Surfing
DESCRIPTION:Hi-Speed Channel Surfing presents new work by Houston-based artist Deangelo McMahon Jr. Through still images that emulate classic television\, this exhibition explores mass media\, shared memory\, and censorship. In the featured paintings\, McMahon creates visual white noise with gestures such as cross-hatching and pointillism. These artworks carefully attend to color and scale\, bordering trompe-l’œil. In the words of McMahon\, this exhibition reflects “the ever-increasing role of technology in present-day life\, and seeks to remind the viewer of one’s own humanity amidst it all.”

SUMMARY:Li(sa E.) Harris: This is the Day
DESCRIPTION:Li(sa E.) Harris (aka “Li”) opens This is the Day in John M. O’Quinn Gallery\, on Thursday\, February 15 from 5 – 7 PM. This exhibition will culminate on Monday\, April 8 from 12:30 – 3:01 PM with Li’s performance Onshore Trilling: What to Do When the Earth Sings the Bruise in Lawndale’s outdoor space at 4900 Main Street. Taking place during the total solar eclipse over Texas\, this performance will tap into the cosmic cycles of the earth and sky.\nLi’s practice focuses on the energetic relationships between body\, land\, spirit\, and place. She uses voice\, theremin\, electronics\, movement\, improvisation\, meditation\, and new media to explore healing in performance and everyday living. Often\, her projects unfold over time in acts. For This is the Day\, Li will assemble photography\, analog technology\, video\, and resonant sounds that reflect a survey of her past artistic practice\, especially her work Onshore Trilling and Please Have a Seat.\nLi’s performance Onshore Trilling simultaneously references Houston’s offshore drilling industry—key to its economy as a world capital for oil and gas—and the history of the Blues in the Deep South\, which\, as Harris shares\, were invented by “enslaved persons\, previously enslaved persons\, and their descendants\, like me.”\n“Trilling” is a musical term describing the fast oscillation between two pitches; it is vibration and energy. This is The Day. includes relics and electronics from Li’s family\, fused together to fill the gallery space with frequencies that erode in relation to the respective battery life of each object. Overhead\, perforated sails mimic the sky\, reminding us of ever-present cosmic constellations which orient our earth and dream spaces.\nFor visitors’ navigation\, the center of the gallery includes something that could be—a boom\, a cannon\, a telescope peering northward\, bringing 4900 Main Street (where the eclipse performance will take place) into focus.

SUMMARY:Timothy McCoy: Beyond My Lens
DESCRIPTION:These photographs are meditations on the constant and inevitable change in nature. The flow of water is one object\nof this contemplation. The flow of water and the human journey have parallels. According to Eastern philosophy\, mankind’s resistance to transformation leads to suffering.\nSelected photographs from three bodies of Timothy’s work emphasize “alternative” photographic processes: Tongues Turned to Stone (photogravure on gamphi-shi paper)\, Sanctuary (palladium on translucent vellum)\, and Long\, Long Journey to the Sea (gold-toned albumen). He chose these historical printing processes to evoke the timelessness of his content and his interpretive rather than documentary intent. In comparison\, a fourth body of work\, Watercourse Way (large digital prints on metallic paper) is a contemporary alternative to the hand-made nature of historical processes.

SUMMARY:'Rafael Domenech and Tomas Vu  Heat Silhouette'
DESCRIPTION:Asia Society Texas is pleased to present Rafael Domenech and Tomas Vu  Heat Silhouette\, the organization’s first public art installation. This collaboration between Cuban American artist Rafael Domenech and Vietnamese American artist Tomas Vu assumes the form of a dynamic outdoor pavilion with two stages\, occupying AST’s 13\,000-square-foot lot at the intersection of Oakdale and Caroline Streets in the heart of Houston’s Museum District. Rafael Domenech and Tomas Vu  Heat Silhouette is commissioned in partnership with the University of Houston’s Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for the Arts.\nDescribed by the artists as a form of “urban acupuncture\,” Heat Silhouette is a physical structure designed to welcome the spontaneous circulation of people\, energy\, and events. The outdoor pavilion takes cues from college campuses\, popular culture\, and experimental magazines. Made of wood\, aluminum framing\, and laser-cut construction mesh — the very materials used to build the city of Houston — the pavilion becomes an extension of the museum and a public programming space. The title itself references the most omnipresent weather condition of Houston  the summer’s intense heat\, a heat so palpable that it feels as if it occupies actual space\, creating a silhouette or edge.\nFor the artists\, the pavilion resists merely being a form of architecture. Instead\, the pavilion physically operates as an experimental magazine\, referencing the graphic processes seen in radical publications from the 1960s and 1970s like Kontexts\, an important catalyst of avant-garde poetry. Readers do not flip Heat Silhouette’s pages; instead\, they become viewers that are invited to walk in\, around\, and through the publication. Laser-cut texts appropriated from popular science-fiction films\, poetry\, and other sources intermingle to form multiple layers and viewpoints that shift with the sunlight. Heat Silhouette is a space of active production filled with theater-like compartments — a site where text\, image\, and pattern coalesce into a kind of urban camouflage.

SUMMARY:Six Scenes From Our Future
DESCRIPTION:Presented in coordination with Contemporary Arts Museum Houston’s (CAMH) 75th anniversary\, Six Scenes From Our Future features the work of six artists who were invited to respond to the institution’s inaugural exhibition\, This Is Contemporary Art (1948). This first show proposed a radical approach to the presentation of art. Offering unexpected pairings—like a Jacob Lawrence painting alongside a cheese slicer\, or an Alexander Calder mobile in dialogue with Eames screens and a Sunbeam coffeemaker—the exhibition merged museological and domestic contexts while also challenging entrenched hierarchies between the fine arts and design. This Is Contemporary Art set the stage for CAMH as a site of experimentation and play\, while announcing the Museum as a forward-thinking space centered around a belief in the transformational power of art and artists. So\, too\, did the inaugural exhibition position artists as uniquely capable of addressing and reflecting upon a constantly changing world\, asserting art and life as inseparable.\nSix Scenes From Our Future continues CAMH’s longstanding commitment to centering the visions and voices of artists. Working across sculpture\, photography\, video\, and painting\, the six selected artists will mine CAMH’s history to create new work or reframe extant work\, highlighting the institution’s ongoing commitment to commissioning artwork. The participating artists are either from or currently based in Texas\, with many located in Houston\, or have a deep connection to the Museum. Six Scenes From Our Future provides an opportunity to honor CAMH’s past while emphasizing the central role that artists have played and will continue to play in envisioning its future.\nParticipating Artists\nMel Chin\, JooYoung Choi\, Leslie Hewitt\, Lisa Lapinski\, Jill Magid\, and Leslie Martinez\nSupport\nSix Scenes From Our Future has been made possible by the patrons\, benefactors and donors to CAMH’s Major Exhibition Fund: Chinhui Juhn and Eddie Allen\, Sissy and Denny Kempner\, Dillon Kyle and Sam Lasseter\, MD Anderson Foundation\, Rea Charitable Trust\, Louisa Stude Sarofim\, The Sarofim Foundation\, and the Texas Commission on the Arts.\nContemporary Arts Museum Houston is funded in part by the City of Houston through the Houston Arts Alliance.

SUMMARY:Intimate confession is a project
DESCRIPTION:Intimate confession is a project is a group exhibition that considers transmission\, intergenerational life\, and cultural inheritance through the prism of intimacy and infrastructure. Through the work of eleven artists spanning generations and geographies\, the exhibition thinks through infrastructure as an intimate holding cell\, capable of affective and affirmative power.\nThe title is borrowed from a sonnet line by poet Juliana Spahr\, and is recast to reflect on the relational infrastructures of cultural material. In recent years\, a surge of scholarship on the built and unbuilt environments has emerged contrasting “humans\, things\, words\, and non-humans into patterned conjunctures\,” to quote feminist theorist Michelle Murphy. This exhibition examines how infrastructures can be understood as “affective” in their varied expressions of movement and imprint on cultural life.\nThe exhibition includes commissions and site-specific projects that expand on material and immaterial histories of Houston. At times they refer to the unique context of the Blaffer\, connecting art to other fields of knowledge and experience.\nIntimate confession is a project is accompanied by a rich public program featuring talks\, readings\, concerts\, and performances in connection with a range of citywide and institutional partners across the exhibition’s six-month run\, including Basket Books & Art\, the Sarah Campbell Blaffer Foundation Collection\, Institute for Global Engagement\, Institute for Research on Women\, Gender & Sexuality\, Project Row Houses\, and UH School of Art.\nThe Intimate confession is a project exhibition and programs are organized by guest curator Jennifer Teets
