In the Front BOX the show “Power, Corruption, and Lies” is a three-person exhibition exploring floral motifs through photography, painting, and drawing featuring artist Claire Chauvin, Daniela Koontz, and Elias John Lytton. Our Back BOX gallery exhibition “Southern Gothic” Roslyn M. Dupré ponders the place and the time we inhabit, records her observations, and questions assumptions about the collective. The Window BOX is an installation work entitled “Mistakes Were Made”. Britt Thomas utilizes mass produced materials and lens-based media to reflect on the phenomenon of disingenuous public mea culpas, apologies that are meant to shield the accused from further public scrutiny without addressing or solving the core problem. Finally, the Upstairs BOX “Western Landscapes” by artist Glenn Downing draws inspiration from mesas and red rock country. Old adobes and hogans; wood rotting in the sun. Mustangs, owls, buffalos and javelina hog. Rusted cars up on blocks. Signs and more signs. Cactus, agave and ocotillo blooming. Towns with names that are found in songs. Cowboys and Indians; Hop a Long Cassidy and Crazy Horse. When the Legends Die and House Made Of Dawn. Legends and myths live together with everyday people.
The exhibitions continue through July 16 , 2022. BOX 13 ArtSpace, 6700 Harrisburg, Houston, TX 77011.
