An exhibit at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft features jewelry from more than 90 artists a
The exhibit La Frontera is now at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, after visiting Mexico City, San Francisco, and Kokomo, Indiana. Featuring 90 jewelry artists from 21 countries, the exhibit highlights contemporary jewelry that represents immigration and the current border crisis.
Artist Edward Lane McCartney has lived in Texas all his life and as such, he says it's impossible not to interact with people who have lived in countries with extreme violence and experienced it first-hand. McCartney and his partner visited Mexico several years ago and he says the ride from the airport to their house was chilling.
Seeing the army men in the backs of trucks with machine guns mounted on the backs of them, we drove from the airport to our village, McCartney said.
And from that experience, along with the knowledge that his taxi driver's son had recently been beheaded, McCartney designed three gun-shaped brooches with a single jewel on the barrels, calling the piece If Bullets Were Jewels. He says it represents the commodity of life.
Through necklaces, brooches, rings, bracelets, and even key fobs, artists portray their experiences and those of others, their dreams, and nightmares as they relate to immigration and the border crisis.
The exhibit was created by curators Lorena Lazard, Mike Holmes, and Elizabeth Shypertt and made its debut in Mexico City in 2013.
La Frontera will be on display in Houston until September 7, 2014.

Focus Series | Garrett Bradley discusses her film America (2019)
On View: December 19, 2019 - March 22, 2020
America, 2019
Multi-channel video installation; 35mm film transferred
to video: black and white, sound, 23:55 minutes
New Orleans Museum of Art: Museum purchase,
Carmen Donaldson fund, 2019. 33
Contemporary Arts Museum Houston is pleased to present Garrett Bradley: American Rhapsody, the first solo museum presentation of the work of New Orleans-based artist and filmmaker Garrett Bradley (b. 1986, New York, New York). On view in CAMH’s Brown Foundation Gallery from December 19, 2019–March 22, 2020, the exhibition will feature a selection of new and recent single and multi-channel films and videos by the artist.
Garrett Bradley works across narrative, documentary, and experimental modes of filmmaking to address themes such as race, class, familial relationships, social justice, southern culture, and the history of film in the United States. Her collaborative and research-based approach to filmmaking is often inspired by the real-life stories of her subjects. For Bradley, this research takes multiple forms—deep dives into historical archives, in-depth dialogues prompted by Craigslist want-ads, or an extended engagement with the communities and individuals she seeks to represent—and results in works that combine both scripted and improvisatory scenes. Bradley’s films explore the space between fact and fiction, embracing modes of working and of representing history that blur the boundaries between traditional notions of narrative and documentary cinema. Her rigorous explorations of the social, economic, and racial politics of everyday life—its joys, pleasures, and pains—are lyrically and intimately rendered on screen. An attention to daily life and its often slow, unremarkable unfolding runs through Bradley’s films, from her earliest works, such as Dante 9-5 (2014), in which we follow a United States Postal Service delivery man along his designated route, to her most recent films, America and AKA (both 2019).
In America, a multi-channel video installation, Bradley constructs a visual archive of early African American cinema. Inspired by a 2013 survey published by the Library of Congress proposing that 70 percent of silent films made between 1912 and 1929 have been lost, as well as the discovery and restoration of what is believed to be the earliest surviving film to feature a black cast (Lime Kiln Club Field Day, 1913), America takes shape as a series of vignettes depicting the everyday, at times, quotidian lives of early-20th century African Americans. Shot in black and white, with a score by Trevor Mathison and Udit Duseja of the Black Audio Film Collective (1983-1998), Bradley’s film presupposes the existence of a body of cinema made by and for African Americans and since lost to history. Mixing found footage from Lime Kiln Club Field Day and newly shot performances by non-trained actors, America poignantly asks what it might mean to model a history of black visuality and representation that privileges depictions of pleasure over spectacles of pain.
Garrett Bradley: American Rhapsody is organized by Rebecca Matalon, Curator, Contemporary Arts Museum Houston.
About the Artist
Garrett Bradley received her MFA from University of California, Los Angeles and BA from Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts. Her short films and feature-length projects have been exhibited internationally at museums and festivals including the New Orleans Museum of Art, Louisiana; Whitney Biennial 2019, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, New York; The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, California; The Sundance Film Festival, Park City, Utah; The Tribeca Film Festival, New York, New York; Festival du Nouveau Cinema, Montreal, Canada; The Rotterdam Film Festival, The Netherlands; SXSW, Austin, Texas, among many others. Bradley has received numerous awards and honors, including a 2019-20 Rome Prize from the American Academy in Rome, Italy.

Xiaoze Xie Artist Talk 2019
Xiaoze Xie discusses his process for his latest exhibition at Talley Dunn Gallery titled, Xiaoze Xie: New Paintings and Photographs. The exhibition consists of seven paintings and eight photographs that continue the artist’s formal investigation of historic books, a prominent interest in Xie’s work that has persisted over twenty years. Xie’s artworks preserve material remnants of our histories, reminding us of what has transgressed and immortalizing manuscripts and their contents to stress their continued relevance. Amidst our heated political climate and the near-relentless stream of information we receive through screens, Xie’s captivating paintings and photographs give us pause to stand still and reflect.
Xiaoze Xie received his Master of Fine Art degrees from the Central Academy of Arts and Design in Beijing and from the University of North Texas. Xie is now the Paul L. & Phyllis Wattis Professor of Art at Stanford University. Xie has exhibited widely in the United States and internationally, with one-person exhibitions at the Asia Society, New York; Denver Art Museum; Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art; Knoxville Museum of Art; Modern Chinese Art Foundation, Ghent, Belgium; and the China Art Archives and Warehouse, Beijing. He has participated in numerous group exhibitions including Shu: Reinventing Books in Contemporary Chinese Art at the China Institute Gallery in New York and Seattle Asian Art Museum, and the traveling exhibition Regeneration: Contemporary Chinese Art from China and the US. Xie’s work has been acquired by many major institutions, including the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, San Jose Museum of Art, Oakland Museum of California, Boise Art Museum, Allen Memorial Art Museum at Oberlin College and the Arizona State University Art Museum. Among other honors, Xie has received a Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters and Sculptors Grant (2013) and a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant (2003). Xie splits time between Beijing, China and Palo Alto, California.
Visionary Artist Leon Kennedy at UPTOWN GALLERY
African-American spiritual visionary Leon Kennedy (b. 1945, Houston, Texas) uses mixed media on found objects to paint ecstatic visions, memory paintings, and urban life portraits. Kennedy is featured on several pages of Rosnak's Contemporary American Folk Art (Abbeville, 1996), and in Betty-Carol Sellen's important survey, Self Taught, Outsider, and Folk Art (McFarland & Company, 1999).
In 1997, the Smithsonian Institution purchased 200 significant works from the renowned Rosenak collection for an undisclosed sum estimated to be near $2M. This acquisition included a bed-sheet by Kennedy. The 1997 Folk Art Messenger, Vol. 10, No.3, reported that the acquisition makes the Smithsonian American Art Museum the world's preeminent repository for American self-taught art.
It is our desire to see them as part of the history of 20th-century American art, said Chuck Rosenak.
Mentioning Kennedy, the article notes these works were the first American collection exhibited at the Collection de l'Art Brut, Switzerland, which testifies to its quality and uniqueness. The Leon Kennedy masterwork now resides at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, while photos of Kennedy and other materials of Kennedy's are available for study at the National Archives in Washington, D.C.

GAC Artist Talk with Angel Oloshove for The Ocean Never Closes September 9th 2017
1878 Gallery
Angel Oloshove
The Ocean Never Closes
Angel Oloshove presents a new series of ceramic totems that reflect on the land and environment and its constant state of flux for the exhibition The Ocean Never Closes. Oloshove’s work experiments with painterly glazes to express feelings of transcendental experiences through form and color. She describes her stacked stupa as connecting earth, water, fire, wind, and the void. Oloshove’s works are beacons, reveling in the beauty of the day and standing strong to weather the greatest storm. In her work, clay is brought to a new light, as stone, vibrating with the history of the land.
Angel Oloshove (b. 1981, Temperance, MI) studied painting at California College of the Arts and went on to work in graphic design and toy development in Tokyo, Japan. In 2009, she turned her focus to develop her studio practice in ceramic sculpture. She balances a fine art practice of sculptural ceramics as well has her own line of functional design pottery that is stocked in design boutiques throughout the United States. Her exhibition Floating Worlds was selected as a Critic’s Pick for the April 2015 issue of ArtForum. In 2015, she was named one of “Ten Modern Ceramists Shaping the Future” by AnOther Magazine. In 2015, Oloshove’s ceramic designs and artworks were included in the survey exhibition Texas Design Now at the Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston. She has exhibited at Gallery Hanahou (New York), Front St. Gallery (Oakland, CA), and several arts institutions across Japan. Oloshove was a finalist for the 2015 Houston Artadia Award, and will begin a residency at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft in the fall of 2017.

School of Visual Arts Contemporary Perspectives Lecture with Shelia Pepe
Sheila Pepe is best known for her large-scale, ephemeral installations and sculpture made from domestic and industrial materials. Since the mid-1990s Pepe has used feminist and craft traditions to investigate received notions concerning the production of canonical artwork as well as the artist’s relationship to museum display and the art institution itself.
Pepe has exhibited widely throughout the United States and abroad in solo and group exhibitions as well as collaborative projects. Venues for Pepe’s many solo exhibitions include the Smith College Museum of Art, Northampton, Massachusetts, and the Weatherspoon Art Museum, Greensboro, North Carolina. Her work has been included in important group exhibitions such as the first Greater New York at PS1/MoMA; Hand + Made: The Performative Impulse in Art & Craft, Contemporary Art Museum Houston, Texas, and Artisterium, Tbilisi, Republic of Georgia. Pepe’s work was recently featured in the exhibition Queer Threads at the Leslie Lohman Museum of Lesbian and Gay Art in New York, and commissions for the 8th Shenzhen Sculpture Biennale, exhibitions include a commission for the ICA/Boston’s traveling exhibition Fiber: Sculpture 1960-present.
Pepe is also known as an educator who likes to trespass the boundaries of fixed disciplines in art and design. She has taught since 1995—for many years as adjunct faculty in a variety of programs and schools including Brandeis University, Bard College, RISD, VCU, and Williams College—until 2006 when she took a full-time position at Pratt Institute as the assistant chair of fine arts. Her own artistic development was a mix of academic training and non-degree granting residencies: BFA, Massachusetts College of Art, 1983; Haystack School, 1984; Skowhegan School, 1994; MFA, School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston 1995; and Radcliffe Institute, 1998–99. Pepe was a resident faculty member at Skowhegan School, 2013. She is now a Core Critic in the Painting + Printmaking Department at Yale University.
This lecture is a part of the Boston University School of Visual Arts Contemporary Perspectives Lecture Series (CPLS).

BED SHEET. African-American spiritual visionary artist Leon Kennedy.
BED SHEET. African-American spiritual visionary Leon Kennedy (b. 1945, Houston, Texas) uses paint, pencil, marker, and mixed media on found objects to create ecstatic visions, memory paintings, and urban life portraits. His works are always about the power and grace of God. Kennedy is featured on several pages of Rosnak's Contemporary American Folk Art (Abbeville, 1996), and in Betty-Carol Sellen's important survey, Self Taught, Outsider, and Folk Art (McFarland & Company, 1999), to name a few.
In 1997, the Smithsonian Institution purchased a bed-sheet by Leon Kennedy, and 200 other artist's works from the renowned Rosenak folk art collection for an estimated $2,000,000.
The 1997 Folk Art Messenger, Vol. 10, No.3, reported that the acquisition makes the Smithsonian American Art Museum the world's preeminent repository for American self-taught art.
It is our desire to see them as part of the history of 20th-century American art, said Chuck Rosenak.
Mentioning Leon Kennedy, the article notes these works were the first American collection exhibited at the Collection de l'Art Brut, Switzerland, which testifies to its quality and uniqueness. The Leon Kennedy masterwork painting now resides at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, while photos of Kennedy and other materials of Kennedy's are available for study at the archive at the National Archives in Washington, D.C.

Unloading Mike Whiting Monumental sculptures at Republic Plaza, Denver, CO 2014
Plus Gallery artist Mike Whiting brought his two latest monumental sculptures out to Denver, Colorado to be installed outside of Republic Plaza in the heart of downtown. Pink Rabbit and Little Green Man continue the artist's ongoing exploration of minimalism as referenced by early video-game technology as well as pixel based concepts that continue to thrive in both contemporary art as well as gaming culture. This is the first time that Whiting has crafted a pair of sculptures that are interrelated in a manner that is playful and at a massive scale, the one being the inverse of the other. The concept perfectly reflects Whiting's engagement with minimalist tendencies in art, the opposing forms relating to two completely different figures yet being the exaxct same outside of the chosen orientation and color choice. The associated colors have diverse cultural reference points that engage the viewer in different ways, completing a visual presence that will captivate the public and become a striking beacon for the Republic Plaza site for the next year.

Driving Downtown Streets - Fifth Avenue - San Diego California USA - Episode 78.
Starting Point: Harbor Drive .
San Diego is a major city in California, United States. It is in San Diego County, on the coast of the Pacific Ocean in Southern California, approximately 120 miles (190 km) south of Los Angeles and immediately adjacent to the border with Mexico.
With an estimated population of 1,394,928 as of July 1, 2015, San Diego is the eighth-largest city in the United States and second-largest in California. It is part of the San Diego–Tijuana conurbation, the second-largest transborder agglomeration between the US and a bordering country after Detroit–Windsor, with a population of 4,922,723 people. San Diego has been called the birthplace of California. It is known for its mild year-round climate, natural deep-water harbor, extensive beaches, long association with the United States Navy, and recent emergence as a healthcare and biotechnology development center.
The city is the seat of San Diego County and is the economic center of the region as well as the San Diego–Tijuana metropolitan area. San Diego's main economic engines are military and defense-related activities, tourism, international trade, and manufacturing. The presence of the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), with the affiliated UCSD Medical Center, has helped make the area a center of research in biotechnology.
Economy
The largest sectors of San Diego's economy are defense/military, tourism, international trade, and research/manufacturing, respectively. In 2014, San Diego was designated by a Forbes columnist as the best city in the country to launch a small business or startup company.
Top Employers
United States Navy
University of California, San Diego
Sharp HealthCare
San Diego County
Qualcomm
San Diego Unified School District
City of San Diego
Dexcom
Kaiser Permanente
Scripps Health
Defense and Military
San Diego hosts the largest naval fleet in the world. The economy of San Diego is influenced by its deepwater port, which includes the only major submarine and shipbuilding yards on the West Coast. Several major national defense contractors were started and are headquartered in San Diego, including General Atomics, Cubic, and NASSCO.
Tourism
Tourism is a major industry owing to the city's climate, beaches, and tourist attractions such as Balboa Park, Belmont amusement park, San Diego Zoo, San Diego Zoo Safari Park, and SeaWorld San Diego. San Diego's Spanish and Mexican heritage is reflected in many historic sites across the city, such as Mission San Diego de Alcala and Old Town San Diego State Historic Park. Also, the local craft brewing industry attracts an increasing number of visitors for beer tours and the annual San Diego Beer Week in November; San Diego has been called America's Craft Beer Capital.
Real Estate
San Diego has high real estate prices. As of May 2015 the median price of a house was $520,000. However, since February 2016 the median home price has dropped to $455,000.
Culture
Many popular museums, such as the San Diego Museum of Art, the San Diego Natural History Museum, the San Diego Museum of Man, the Museum of Photographic Arts, and the San Diego Air & Space Museum are located in Balboa Park, which is also the location of the San Diego Zoo. The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) is located in La Jolla and has a branch located at the Santa Fe Depot downtown. The downtown branch consists of two building on two opposite streets. The Columbia district downtown is home to historic ship exhibits belonging to the San Diego Maritime Museum, headlined by the Star of India, as well as the unrelated San Diego Aircraft Carrier Museum featuring the USS Midway aircraft carrier.
Sports
San Diego is home to two major professional teams — the National Football League's San Diego Chargers, who play at Qualcomm Stadium, and Major League Baseball's San Diego Padres, who play at Petco Park.
