the environment around them in order to discover new and unique perspectives on the world

Sundays, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Every Sunday, it’s ArtTime—FamilyTime at the MFAH. Look for signs in the main lobbies to tell you

which gallery the Family Zone is located in that day. In the Family Zone, spend some time with our

friendly family educators—sit on a pillow and read, sketch a work of art, and get involved in an

investigation of a work of art. In the studio, create an art project inspired by original works of art on

display in the Family Zone. This suite of programs includes:

• Sunday Storytime Make connections between a storybook and a work of art in the galleries. (Begins

at 1:30 p.m.)

• Creation Station At this family-friendly workshop, an MFAH teaching artist encourages families to

create art using materials or ideas similar to those used by the artist who created the featured work of

art on display in the Family Zone.

• Gallery Investigations Visit the Gallery Cart, where an MFAH educator has looking games, books,

and hands-on activities for families.

First Sundays: Art Improv

Art Improv offers family fun on select first Sundays, 1 to 4 p.m., throughout the year. Choose a work of

art anywhere in the Museum and make friends with it! Spend time sketching it, writing about it, and

talking about it together.

Then, visit the studio, where you'll find an assortment of materials to create a work of art inspired by

the new “friend” and your own imagination. On these special Sundays, families can also choose a

work of art to draw at Sketching in the Galleries. And, the Kinder Foundation Education Center is a

great place to stop during any museum visit to read a book together, check out a Family Pack, and

more.

CAMH EXHBITIONS

RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW: HOUSTON

On View: August 23 – November 30, 2014

With Right Here, Right Now: Houston, the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston showcases artists living

in the city and celebrates our region’s vibrant creative community. Houston has been a lively

breeding ground for artistic innovation for decades now and is increasingly considered a global art

center alongside New York, Los Angeles, London, and more recently, Berlin. The Houston of today is a

globally networked city where a manageable cost of living and affordable studio space allows

innovators to maintain practices at a highly professional level without having to sacrifice international

recognition or an excellent quality of life. Right Here, Right Now: Houston is a dynamic portrait of the

artistic developments taking shape in studios across this city and features solo presentations of work

by Houston-based artists Debra Barrera, Nathaniel Donnett, and Carrie Marie Schneider. It marks the

beginning of an occasional and ongoing series through which the museum will investigate localized

artistic practices.

MORE REAL THAN REALITY ITSELF

On View: June 27 – September 21, 2014

More Real Than Reality Itself brings together single-, multi-channel, and installation-based video works

by four artists who breathe new life into the medium’s familiar documentary parameters. Andrea

Geyer, Camille Henrot, Laure Prouvost, and A. L. Steiner use video as a vehicle to communicate their

unique understandings of the world. Their works expose video’s capacity for poetry, its materiality,

and its ability to suggest alternative futures by reframing how we see the present. Through affecting

emotional responses, their works offer us new ways to understand and inhabit the world we share.

ART ON THE LAWN: JOSEPH HAVEL

On View: July 19, 2013 – April 30, 2015

The Contemporary Arts Museum Houston is pleased to present a new site-specific work by Houston-

based sculptor Joseph Havel. For the third installation in CAMH’s Art on the Lawn series, Havel has

created an “endless column” of books. Endless (2013), made from books cast in bronze and resin,

emerges from the centerpiece of the Museum’s lawn, the Ballard Fountain. The column of books,

cast from a stack of Sotheby's auction catalogues among others, stands almost 20 feet high and

gradually transitions from bronze to translucent resin. Join CAMH on Friday, July 19, for the official

debut of Endless during the opening reception for Graphic Design—Now in Production, 7-9PM.

PERFORMANCE AND CONVERSATION: NATHANIEL DONNETT

Thursday, September 25 | 6:30PM

Artist Nathaniel Donnett will lead a collaborative sound and motion-based performance, further

exploring the issues of trauma and mourning portrayed in his exhibition Nothing to See Hear.

Performance collaborators include: Maurice Duhon, EQuality, Angela Olivia Guillory, Chinelo

Ikejimba, The Niyat, and DJ Flash Gordon Parks among others.

Following the performance, Donnett will join Houston-based arts writer and critic Garry Reece for a

conversation about the exhibition and the recurring themes and issues found throughout Donnett’s

art-making practice.

THE MENIL COLLECTION EXHIBITION

Dario Robleto: The Boundary of Life is Quietly Crossed

Artist Dario Robleto (b. 1972) has long explored emotional themes of the human condition, including

love, loss, and grief. His sculptural work, which is labor-intensive and many times involves the

transformation of materials, distills these complex and universal states into meditations on fragility and

change. This site-specific project at the Menil will revolve around his most recent area of inquiry: the

largely unexplored history of the human heartbeat. The installation and series of public talks, will link

together the earliest historical attempts to record and visualize the human pulse and heartbeat, the

female brain wave and heartbeat recordings onboard a NASA probe at the edge of the Solar

System, and recent developments in artificial heart research that suggest a “beatless” heart may

hold the answers for this life-saving technology to progress.
