The Blaffer Art Museum is proud to present the exhibition Standing In by Jamaica-born, New York-based artist Paul Anthony Smith who makes photo-based works that push back against the medium’s inherently predatory dimensions while simultaneously introducing a network of added layers to navigate.
The
Blaffer
Art
Museum
at
the
University
of
Houston
is
proud
to
present
the
first
solo
museum
exhibition
of
work
by
the
Dallas-based
artist
Leslie
Martinez.
Martinez
(they/them/their)
creates
immersive,
spellbinding
paintings
that
explore
ideas
of
place,
climate,
landscape,
and
personhood
through
unconventional
methods
of
applying
and
interlaying
various
materials,
textures,
and
hues
on
canvas.
Their
signature
style
of
abstract
painting
features
viscerally
tactile
and
spatial
atmospheres
created
with
physical
ingredients
like
fabric
rags,
recycled
clothing,
and
crushed
stone
that
reveal
discordant
visual
intersections
of
destruction
and
emergence.
For over a decade, Jacolby Satterwhite has used 3D animation, sculpture, performance, painting, and photography to create fantastical, labyrinthine universes. Exploring the themes of public space, the body, ritual, and community, Satterwhite draws from an extensive set of references guided by queer theory, Modernist tropes, and video game languages to challenge conventions of Western art through a personal and political lens. An equally significant influence is his late mother, Patricia Satterwhite, who lived with schizophrenia and made ethereal vocal recordings as well as drawings and diagrams for visionary household products throughout Satterwhite’s childhood. His mother’s work often serves as the source material within a decidedly complex structure of memory and mythology.

facts
about
the
man,

and
his
life’s
work.

Designed in 1966 by Sasa Machtig, K-67 kiosks were a central part of Yugoslavian daily life, serving as newspaper stands, coffee shops, flower shops, post offices, and more.
This installation of a restored K-67 Kiosk is on display at Blaffer Art Museum until March 12, hosting multiple temporary art exhibits.
