Through the work of ten multifaceted artists spanning generations and geographies, the exhibition thinks through infrastructure as an intimate holding cell, capable of affective and affirmative power.<\/p>\n<p>The title is borrowed from a sonnet line by poet Juliana Spahr and is recast to reflect on the relational infrastructures of cultural material. In recent years, a surge of scholarship on the built and unbuilt environments has emerged contrasting \u201chumans, things, words, and non-humans into patterned conjunctures,\u201d to quote feminist theorist Michelle Murphy. The upper galleries at the Blaffer Art Museum will serve as a conductive space for hosting \u2014 to welcome the practices of ten artists, three of them commissions, critically engaging material and immaterial histories of Houston.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Two new works by\u00a0Cle\u0301mence de La Tour du Pin<\/strong> (b. 1986, Roanne, France; lives and works in Paris and Amsterdam) approach embodied experience through scent, archive, and institutional memory. One work features an arrangement of personal archival material, propaganda material, and photographs sourced from the oil and gas industries archives within the Special Collections at the University of Houston Libraries, while the other is a series of wax casts of handmade glass bottles. The use of beeswax and sealing wax, alongside a specially produced scent containing sulfuric notes embedded within the material, extends the work\u2019s exploration of bodily infestation to ideas of containment and the distortion of various materials.<\/p>\n<p>Featured artists:\u00a0Gwenneth Boelens,\u00a0Benvenuto Chavajay Ixtetela,\u00a0ektor garcia,\u00a0Lonnie Holley,\u00a0Anna Mayer,\u00a0Na Mira,\u00a0Kate Newby,\u00a0Josie Ann Teets,\u00a0Roberto Tejada, Chiffon Thomas,\u00a0Iris Touliatou,\u00a0Cl\u00e9mence de la Tour du Pin<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><em>Intimate confession is a project<\/em>\u00a0is accompanied by a rich public program including commissions, talks, readings, concerts, and performances in connection with a range of city-wide partners.
