The Mac: three new exhibitions featuring residents of the Core Fellowship Program of the Museum of Fine Arts Houston
The Mac
3120 McKinney Avenue
Dallas, TX
Of Other Spaces is an exploration of the theoretically and socially bound term "space" through the work of a variety of emerging artists. Bringing together a range of new and previously exhibited work-including video, photography, collage, assemblage and installation-from seven current artists-in-residence at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston's Core program; the exhibition interrogates the ways this well trodden subject matter is becoming increasingly relevant in contemporary art practice. Curated by critics in the Core residency, Sally Frater and Philip Kelleher, this exhibition will include the work of Miguel Amat, Anthea Behm, Jang Soon Im, Massa Lemu, Gabriel Martinez, Nicole Miller, and Clarissa Tossin. In an attempt to explore linkages in the disparate practices of these artists, the term "space" offers an amount of breadth and specificity. As contemporary practice is confronted with demands/refusals to engage the political, spatiality (in geographic, social, political and discursive terms) exposes an inescapable entanglement with the framework of the exhibition itself as well as the "politics" manifest in the content and form of work. Of Other Spaces offers an intriguing look at the work of Core artists through a provocation meant to engage a topic with both contemporary and historical grounding.
