SUMMARY:Reynier Leyva Novo: Former Present Today
DESCRIPTION:The Blaffer Art Museum at the University of Houston is proud to present the first solo museum exhibition in the United States of Cuban conceptual artist Reynier Leyva Novo. Former Present Today presents a newly realized installation and painting series to simultaneously reveal and conceal monuments\, structures\, and figureheads which manifest revolution and tyranny. The works are created through research on icons and memorialization and how the prestige of nation established through revolution utilizes both facts and myths as a means of propaganda.

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:Xu Bing: Word Alchemy
DESCRIPTION:‘Xu Bing: Word Alchemy’ assembles more than 50 of Xu Bing’s most important woodcut prints\, videos\, drawings\, installations\, and other ephemera representing almost 50 years of the artist’s creative output. Starting with Xu’s early engagements with social realism and Western art historical traditions alike\, the exhibition charts the evolution of the artist’s linguistic experiments which challenge and expand not only the history of Chinese landscape painting\, but the canons of contemporary art.\nBorn in China and now working in both Brooklyn and Beijing\, artist Xu Bing (b. 1955) is widely considered to be one of the most important artists to emerge from China in the 20th century. Focusing on the artist’s longstanding engagement with words and language\, ‘Word Alchemy’ is the most comprehensive exhibition on this theme so far\, and around one-third of the objects in the exhibition are being shown in the U.S. for the first time.\nHighlights of the exhibition include Xu Bing’s early works\, his private never-before-seen notebook\, landmark prints including the Series of Repetitions handscroll\, a new Background Story with a connection to Zhao Mengfu’s famous ‘Autumn Colors on the Qiao and Hua Mountains’ handscroll\, a new Texas-themed ‘Square Word Calligraphy\,’ and a new installation of ‘Monkeys Grasp for the Moon’ in Asia Society Texas’ Fayez Sarofim Grand Hall.\nOn the occasion of the exhibition\, Asia Society Texas will publish a full-color exhibition catalogue and host a symposium on Xu Bing’s art on February 23\, 2024.

SUMMARY:Dark Matter\, Dark Energy\, Dark Imaginarence Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Nathaniel Donnett\nDark Matter\, Dark Energy\, Dark Imaginarence\nSolo Exhibition\n“For them\, as for me\, imagining is not merely looking or looking at; nor is it\ntaking oneself intact into the other. It is\, for the purposes of the work\, becoming.”\nToni Morrison\nThe University Museum is pleased to present Dark Matter\, Dark Energy\, Dark Imaginarence\, Nathaniel Donnett’s solo exhibition at Texas Southern University. The artist’s multimedia works consider how people navigate space and time through nonlinear trajectories and ask how abstraction reflects our realities while offering multiple ways to perceive them. Donnett examines the role imagination plays in contending with obstacles in our lives that manifest as systemic limitations and constitute nuanced moments of discovery.\nThe exhibition takes inspiration from the life of Ed Dwight\, an ex-Navy pilot who almost became the first Black astronaut to enter outer space but was denied because of sociopolitical interference and racial hostility. He later reimagined himself and became a sculptor. Following that path\, Donnett’s works—textiles\, sculpture\, installation\, sound\, video\, and\, importantly\, community engagement in the form of a backpack exchange with students from historic Black neighborhoods in Houston (Third Ward\, Sunnyside\, Acres Homes\, Fifth Ward)—combine the unknown and the embodied to search out Black cosmologies and material constellations that act as poetics\, prompts\, processes\, and presentations for lived transformation.\nDonnett approaches his practice through the lens of Dark Imaginarence\, a concept of art\, everyday aesthetic theory\, and notion(s) of Blackness. The exhibition also reflects on theories concerned with fugitivity\, spatial understanding\, and becoming: Gaston Bachelard’s The Poetics of Space\, which describes the house as a shelter and universe allowing for dreaming and protection; Fred Moten’s notion of enclosure\, a psychological entrapment caused by social precarity; and Michel Foucault’s concept of heterotopias\, an engagement with the plurality of space and time.\nFor example\, the centerpiece of the exhibition\, Staring at infinity through the corners of asymmetry (2023)\, uses reclaimed materials to recreate a geometric form shotgun house that references histories embedded within architecture\, and expansive galactic dreams.\nDonnett’s process is as much philosophical as it is musical—and concerned with how everyday actions and common materials hold memories and serve as witnesses to\nlived experiences. His recent works investigate tensions between the rational and the irrational as a route for accessing generative ways of moving\, thinking\, and living hidden within our subconscious that might help us reframe and redefine ourselves—and negotiate life’s constraints. Dark Matter\, Dark Energy\, Dark Imaginarence asks: What could happen if we changed our questions from “What is the sum of two plus two?” to “What is the sum of two plus a spaceship\, divided by Earth\, Wind & Fire’s song’ Devotion\,’ multiplied by the first half of Andrei Tarkovsky’s film Solaris?”\nThis project is supported by the Guggenheim Foundation\, Houston Arts Alliance\, and the University Museum at Texas Southern University.\nNathaniel Donnett was born in Houston\, Texas. Donnett received his B.A. in Fine Arts from Texas Southern University\, and his MFA from Yale University School of Art. Nathaniel received the 2024 American Academy of Rome Affiliated Fellowship\, a 2022 John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship\, a 2022 Houston Arts Alliance Individual Artist Grant\, a Dean’s Critical Practice Research Grant from Yale\, and an Art and Social Justice Initiative Grant from Yale (2020)\, among others.\nHis work has been exhibited nationally at The Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art\, Bentonville\, AK; the Virginia Museum of Fine Art\, Richmond\, VA; the Mennello Museum\, Orlando\, FL; the Ulrich Museum\, Wichita\, KS; Project Row Houses\, Houston\, TX\, The Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art\, Virginia Beach\, VA\, The American Museum\, Washington D.C.\, The University Museum\, Houston\, TX\, The Kemper Contemporary Arts Museum\, Kansas City\, MO\, The Mattatuck Museum\, Waterbury CT\, The Contemporary Arts Museum Houston\, Houston\, TX\, and The New Museum\, New York\, NY.

SUMMARY:Laura Gutierrez: In Tarps I Trust
DESCRIPTION:In Tarps I Trust is a dance work by Laura Gutierrez inspired by themes of labor\, specifically blue-collar jobs. The work explores the physical labor Gutierrez witnessed throughout her father’s career as a billboard painter\, highlighting the materials that were ever present growing up in her household\, such as tarps\, ladders\, and ratchet straps.\nUsing her father’s materials\, Gutierrez focuses on their awkward and imposing nature\, before gradually incorporating them into dance and movement phrases such that they become partners in space. The performance was workshopped in the Summer of 2023 as part of a DiverseWorks residency\, produced in collaboration with MECA.\nIn Tarps I Trust is an innovative dance work that also creates a platform for dialogue around how different forms of labor are valued\, or undervalued\, including the work of artists. This theme will be further explored in a panel discussion and an exhibition of the work of Anthony Almendarez\, Hello My Name Is _____ March 1-16\, 2024.

SUMMARY:Read Your Way to Writing Well: The Dark Comedic Story
DESCRIPTION:INSTRUCTOR: Nick Almeida\nTIME: Four Thursdays\, February 8\, 15\, 22\, 29\, 6:00–9:00 p.m. CST\nPRICE: Early bird price: $150 for members\, $180 for nonmembers. The deadline for early bird pricing is Friday\, February 2. After Friday\, February 2: $180 for members\, $210 for nonmembers. Become a member here. Apply for a scholarship here.\nLOCATION: Online via Zoom\nLEVEL: All levels\nCAP: 15\nWhen does humor slip into our lives? According to author Lorrie Moore\, in “times of collision\, emergency\, surrealism\, aftermath\, disorientation.” How odd\, then\, to consider why we laugh in darkest moments\, how humor often casts a long\, black shadow. In this workshop\, we will examine the work of four writers who specialize in the tragicomic: George Saunders\, Lorrie Moore\, Elizabeth McCracken\, and Jim Shepard. How do their stories make us wince in laughter and show us dark aspects of everyday life? And—most importantly—what techniques and strategies can we carry into our own work? Together\, we will study ways to braid the comic with its All darkness\, and darkness with unconquerable laughter.\nThis four-week workshop will center four short stories (one per week\, provided by the instructor) as well as discussions regarding any ongoing projects of workshop participants. The goal of the workshop is to develop a toolkit for the incorporation of what we call “dark comedy” into a writer’s storytelling. All with writerly aspirations and a good sense of humor are encouraged to join.\nThe story for our first class is Offloading for Mrs. Schwartz by George Saunders. Please read the story prior to class so we can jump right in.\nThis event is funded in part by the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance. This project is generously funded by the Houston Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs\, and Mid-America 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
