Gabriel Lester: Odeon
May 17, 2024—August 11, 2024
The Blaffer Art Museum is proud to present the first solo museum exhibition in the United States of preeminent Dutch artist Gabriel Lester, who has gained an international standing for his art, performance, and film as well as his dynamic public art installations. Across his now decades-long career, Lester has developed a captivating cinematic lens through which to see and imagine the world – consistently locating wonder in the seemingly stolid and mundane. For this exhibition Lester is most interested in the interplay between light and shadow, as well as the seen and unseen, as he responds to Houston and the fossil fuel industry that so deeply sheathes the region.

Cian Dayrit: Liberties Were Taken May
May 31, 2024—August 11, 2024
The phrase “counter-cartographies” describes Manila-based artist Cian Dayrit interdisciplinary practice of transforming historic maps into portraits of contemporary social conditions. Employing counter- cartography as an approach, Dayrit charts histories of imperialism, industrialization, and systems of subjugation that shape geographical boundaries and cultural narratives around the world. In Summer 2024, Blaffer will present Dayrit’s first solo museum exhibition in the United States with embroidered tapestries, paintings, and sculpture. The exhibition will be accompanied by Countermapping Workshops in Houston to excavate histories of imperialism, extraction, and displacement among historically marginalized people, while summoning new imaginaries that recognize the overlapping global struggles and resistance.

Is the paper written by AI? An introduction to Turnitin AI Detecting Tool
Academic plagiarism is an important standard when faculty assess student progress. Since the fast growth of AI applications, instructors are facing new challenges to evaluate whether a student’s work is original. Unlike copying and pasting another’s work, AI-generated content can be from scratch and unique. Instructors need more technology support to determine academic honesty. For faculty who need support to detect AI-written papers, please come to our workshop. We will discuss how to understand and use report from Turnitin AI detector, a tool free to UH faculty.
