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.

The Contemporary Arts Museum Houston is pleased to present work by Houston-based artist Robert

Hodge. A musician and visual artist, Hodge has been involved in the city's art scene since the late

1990s. His practice has expanded to include site-specific sculpture that provides communities with a

place to gather and interact. Robert Hodge: Destroy and Rebuild features fifteen paintings from the

past two years, more than half of which were created specifically for this presentation. It is the artist’s

first solo museum exhibition.

ART ON THE LAWN: JOSEPH HAVEL

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

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.

Saturday, October 11 | 4-5PM

Founded in 2001, Triple Candie is a research-oriented, independent curatorial agency--run by two art

historians--that produces exhibitions about art but largely devoid of it. Its primary purpose since late

2005 has been to explore the possibilities of exhibition-making as a truly alternative, critical practice.

From 2001 to 2010, Triple Candie operated a series of galleries in Harlem. Since 2011, it has been

guest-curating exhibitions for organizations in the United States and Europe.

SKILL SET: BATIK DYEING WITH TRAVIS BOYER

Saturday, October 18 | 2-4PM

Join Brooklyn-based artist Travis Boyer as he leads a special Skill Set workshop on the art of Batik

Dyeing. Participants will learn the fundamentals and preparations involved in dyeing fabric using

the Batik method and create their own dyed fabrics to take home with them. Batik dyeing is a

resist process where-in wax is applied to fabric to prevent dye from penetrating the cloth below.

When the wax is lifted after the fabric is dyed, a pattern/design emerges in the negative space.

While all materials will be provided, participants may bring fabrics from home to use during the

workshop. General Admission is $25; $20 for CAMH Members. All ages are welcome to attend.

For more information or if you have questions/concerns, email Daniel Atkinson, Manager of

Education and Public Programs at datkinson@camh.org.

THE MENIL COLLECTION EXHIBITION

Experiments with Truth: Gandhi and Images of Nonviolence

Experiments with Truth: Gandhi and Images of Nonviolence is the first international project to explore the

resonance of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi’s (1867-1948) ethics of non-violence, or “satyagraha,” in the

visual arts. This exhibition presents approximately 130 works spanning several centuries and includes paintings,

drawings, photographs, prints, sculptures, rare books, and films by artists from Africa, the Americas, Asia, and

Europe. The exhibition’s themes echo the expansive humanitarian concerns of the Menil Collection’s founders,

John and Dominique de Menil. Following their example, we aim to create a platform for international

conversation on world-wide issues surrounding human rights, compassion, civil disobedience, and progress

through non-violence.
