Histories
and
lives
embedded
in
the
land
–
and
particularly
the
waterways
that
have
alternately
built
and
destroyed
Houston
over
time
–
will
be
the
subject
of
a
newly
commissioned,
multi-disciplinary
work
by
Mexican
artist
Tania
Candiani.
In
her
past
work,
Candiani
has
worked
across
a
spectrum
of
media
and
practices
to
explore
the
intersections
between
people,
place,
labor
and
industry.
In
so
doing,
Candiani
initiates
explorations
and
collaborations
that
convene
communal
meditations
on
the
past
via
music,
architecture,
and
craft,
with
an
emphasis
on
early
technologies
and
vernacular
practices
of
record-keeping.
Her
work
in
Houston
will
be
developed
out
of
an
intermittent
eight-month
residency
generously
sponsored
and
supported
by
the
Cynthia
Woods
Mitchell
Center
for
the
Arts.
