Letter from the Director 11 MAJOR EXHIBITION SERIES

One of the oldest, major non-collecting art institutions in the United States, the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston ded- icates its resources to organizing, presenting, and touring exhibitions that showcase some of the most seminal art being made today. CAMH’s Major Exhibition Series spotlights the freshest, most visionary artists in three to five large-scale exhibitions annually, showcasing a variety of media, themes, and presentation methods. The Museum documents these exhibitions in publications designed for use by both scholars and the general public.

The 2015–2016 Major Exhibition Series season was made possible by the patrons, benefactors, and donors to the Museum’s Friends of Steel Exhibitions—Director’s Circle: Chinhui Juhn and Eddie Allen, Fayez Sarofim, and Ms. Louisa Stude Sarofim; Curator’s Circle: Dillon Kyle Architecture, Inc., Mr. and Mrs. I. H. Kempner III, and Robin and Andrew Schirrmeister; Major Exhibition Circle: A Fare Extraordinaire, Bergner and Johnson Design, Jereann Chaney, Marita and J.B. Fairbanks, Greg Fourticq, Barbara and Michael Gamson, Blakely and Trey Griggs, George and Mary Josephine Hamman Foundation, Leslie and Mark Hull, Jackson and Company, KPMG LLP, Beverly and Howard Robinson, Yellow Cab Houston, and Michael Zilkha.

Additional support for this exhibition was Works borrowed 182 provided in part by Brochstein’s Inc., Scott and Judy Nyquist, and Mickey Rosmarin and Tootsies.

Texas Design Now, coordinated by CAMH Curator Dean Daderko and co-curated by Chris Goins, Retail General Manager at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and Garrett Hunter, recognized Houston interior designer, presented the work of fashion, acces- sory, furniture, industrial, and interior designers living and working in Texas. This exhibition built on the legacy of CAMH’s inaugural exhibition, This is Contemporary Art (1948), which presented interior designs and artworks side-by-side, emphasizing the inherent interrelation of various fields and suggesting that “contemporary” is not merely an artistic movement, but an all-encompassing lifestyle.

Jennie C. Jones: Compilation, curated by Valerie Cassel Oliver, CAMH Senior Curator, was a mid-career survey that chronicled Jones’s practice over a fifteen-year period and included her iconic Acoustic Paintings, works on paper, and sculpture, as well as sound and installation work. The exhibition debuted a suite of new Acoustic Paintings, along with a site-specific installation created for the survey. Her work also expanded to be site-responsive, as she used the metaphor of music notation to echo the archi- tecture of the site—ostensibly adapting to the architecture of CAMH and other museum sites.

Mark Flood: Gratest Hits was a survey of 30 years of Flood’s work from the 1980s to 2015 curated by CAMH Director Bill Arning. Never has an exhibition enjoyed so many moments of extreme visual beauty cheek by jowl with crude humor and aggressive, roughly rendered texts to create a visual roller coaster ride. For most of his artistic career, Flood has created , paintings, and sculptures, and altered found ephemera that serve to critique and highlight consumer culture and the perversity of the art world. Gratest Hits presented the deep wisdom and humor of three decades of work, while ultimately revealing the true achievement of an artist who has pro- duced many highly praised works and has had an active career, despite remaining barely visible at the museum level.

Major Exhibition Series 15 PERSPECTIVES EXHIBITION SERIES

Every year, the Museum’s curatorial department organizes three to four smaller-scale original exhibitions as part of the Perspectives Exhibition Series. These exhibitions represent some of the most innovative presentations in the study of con- temporary art— exhibitions designed to bring lesser-known work by emerging and established artists to Houston. Media, themes, and presentation methods vary widely in the Perspectives Series, resulting in a dynamic variety of ideas and works that build on the audience’s experience, knowledge, enthusiasm, and growing interest in today’s art.

The 2015–2016 Perspectives Exhibition Series season was made possible by the patrons, benefactors, and donors to the Museum’s Perspectives Exhibition Circle: Bright Star Productions Inc., Elizabeth H. Crowell, Glen Gonzalez and Steve Summers, Louise Jamail, King & Spalding L.L.P., Leigh and Reggie Smith, The Susan Vaughan Foundation, Inc., and Wallace Wilson.

Every other year, CAMH’s Teen Council organizes a Perspectives exhibition in the Zilkha Gallery featuring new work by young, Houston-area artists. The Teen Council selects the theme and title of the exhibition while partnering with CAMH staff to develop exhibition design, a printed catalogue, and public programming. Teen Council presented From the Margins, a group exhibition featuring work by Houston- area teen artists. The exhibition focused on marginalization and its personal, political, and social manifestations. On view were works by 48 teens in a variety of media ranging from photography and video to sculpture and installation.

Organized by CAMH Senior Curator Valerie Cassel Oliver, Whispering Bayou was an immersive multi-media installation that featured moving images and a sound- scape comprised of the voices and images of the diverse communities living in and around . The installation consisted of three large-scale projections that streamed both sourced and newly created video. The soundscape was composed of found sound and the voices of Houstonians who participated in online and in-person interviews about their lives in this ever-evolving city. The installation was a collabora- tion between Houston-based filmmaker, digital artist, and community activist Carroll Parrott Blue; French composer and video artist Jean-Baptiste Barrieré; and scholar and improvisational-jazz trombonist George E. Lewis. Whispering Bayou was designed to bring awareness to the bayou, its past and its present, as well as its expansive eco-systems that range from wildlife to Houston’s vibrant cosmopolitan communities.

Island Time: Galveston Artist Residency —The First Four Years was a group exhi- bition featuring works by former residents and artists who have exhibited at the Galveston Artist Residency (GAR). Recently founded, GAR is an extended-term artist residency that offers artists a unique and supportive environment in which to think, create, and engage with fellow residents and their locale. Each of these artists was given time to experience Galveston in her or his own unique way, and the work in this show was a reflection on that time. In this way, Island Time also became an exhibi- tion about Galveston as seen through the eyes of participating artists—the town’s idiosyncratic pacing, climate, communities, vibe, and relationship to Houston. Guest curator Eric Schnell, director and co-founder of GAR, organized the exhibition.

The human colonization of Mars is expected to begin in the coming decades as NASA and independent space ventures partner with corporate investors to explore the future of life on the planet. THE INTERVIEW: Red, Red Future was an exhibition of sculpture, photography, installation, and performance by the artist MPA, who has developed a series of research topics, which she calls “landings,” that are drawn from the cultural imagery surrounding the red planet. A new series of works commissioned by CAMH engage less visible power sources: MPA used ultraviolet light to create literal shifts in the surface color of her sculptures. In this exhibition—as in all of her work—MPA contested forces that would seek to confine the movement and imagi- nation of bodies. THE INTERVIEW: Red, Red Future was organized by CAMH curator Dean Daderko.

For her debut at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, Jae Ko created a site-specific installation entitled flow 流, the newest iteration in a series she calls “Force of Nature.” Inspired by visits to Newfoundland and the far northwestern reaches of the United States, Ko reconstructs the melting Tundra, with its floating, fractured glaciers. The room-sized sculptural relief was constructed from nearly one ton of recycled paper that was re-spooled and shaped to fit the architecture of CAMH’s Zilkha Gallery. The very nature of the material appeared changed within the space as it in turn altered the gallery’s concrete, stark architecture into undulating surfaces of white formations that suggest imperceptible movements that come from the material’s play with light and shadow. flow 流 was organized by CAMH Senior Curator Valerie Cassel Oliver.

This import- ant exhibition was the first in-depth examination of Hancock’s extensive body of drawings, collages, and works on paper. The exhibition, organized by Valerie Cassel Oliver, CAMH Senior Curator, featured more than two hundred works of art as well as a collection of the artist’s notebooks, sketchbooks, and studies, many showing the preparation for several public commissions. Comprehensive in scope, this survey included works from 1984 to 2014, chronicling the foundation of the artist’s prolific career. The exhibition provided a glimpse into the evolution of Hancock’s idiosyncratic vision beginning in his childhood. Ephemera such as early childhood drawings and the artist’s comic strip that ran in a college newspaper were featured to allow viewers to see the genesis of the artist’s mythology as well as the evolution of his practice.

Pretty/ Dirty illustrated Minter’s progress from a curious youth looking critically at the domestic landscape before her to the media- savvy cultural producer whose images simultaneously define and critique our times. The exhibition was co-organized by the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston and the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver. The exhibition is co-curated by Bill Arning, Director of the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, and Elissa Auther, Windgate Research Curator, Museum of Arts and Design, New York, and the Bard Graduate Center.

Touring Exhibitions 31 PUBLICATION PROGRAM

CAMH produced catalogues for every exhibition organized by our curatorial staff during the 2015–2016 Season. Each catalogue included high-quality images and critical essays by acclaimed scholars. These publications are sought after for their scholarly merit and for their innovative, sophisticated exploration of new ideas, artists, and movements in current art history. Often, they are the first references about these artists, serving to document them early in their careers and artistic practice. CAMH cata- logues are found across the globe in public libraries, institutions, and galleries, promoting the international exchange of ideas.

All of CAMH’s publications are supported by a grant from The Brown Foundation, Inc. of Houston.

36 Annual Report 15–16 Whispering Bayou is an immersive multimedia installation constructed using moving images and a multichannel soundscape composed of the sounds, voices, and images of Houstonians and their city. The work draws particular resonance from the Brays Bayou watershed, which connects nearly three-quarters of a million inhabitants who exemplify this global city’s rich diversity in which over 100 languages are spoken. Whispering Bayou transforms these sonic and visual conversations about the city of Houston into a metaphorical, virtual bayou—an ever-evolving kaleidoscope of impressions that interacts with visitor movements in space.

The project is a collaboration between Houston- based filmmaker, interactive multimedia producer, and community activist Carroll Parrott Blue; French composer and multimedia artist Jean- Baptiste Barrière; and New York–based composer and computer interactive artist George Lewis.

Organized by CAMH Senior Curator Valerie Cassel Oliver, The Whispering Bayou was an immersive multimedia installation featuring moving images and a soundscape comprised of the voices of the diverse communities living in and around Brays Bayou. The installation was a collaboration between Cassel Oliver, Carroll Parrott Blue, Jean-Baptiste Barrieré, and George E. Lewis. The catalogue includes a transcribed discussion between Cassel Oliver, Parrott Blue, Barrière, and Lewis. The conver- sation was guided by how the exhibition would take shape and, ultimately, what they hoped would emerge.

Education and Public Programs 43 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS

The Contemporary Arts Museum Houston offers a variety of programs that reflect the diversity of its audiences. Through regularly scheduled events for children, teens, and adults, the Museum is dedicated to creating exciting ways for visitors to access and enjoy, as well as learn more about, contemporary art and artists. Our calendar of events includes a rotating schedule of talks and lectures, performances, and films.

The Museum receives support for its education programs from: Vera and Andy Baker, Elizabeth H. Crowell, Dillon Kyle Architecture, Inc., Melissa and Albert Grobmyer IV, Houston Arts Alliance, Mady and Ken Kades, Kinder Morgan Foundation, Leticia Loya, M.D. Anderson Foundation, Marian and Speros Martel Foundation Endowment, Caroline and Greg McCord, Andrew R. McFarland, Nordstrom, Inc., Cabrina and Steven Owsley, Ms. Louisa Stude Sarofim, Texas Commission on the Arts, and David P. and Marion Young.

44 Annual Report 15–16 GALLERY TALKS The Museum offers many talks on every exhibition, presenting an array of ideas on each show—voices which range from exhibiting AND LECTURES artists to international scholars to interesting viewpoints from related (and sometimes unrelated) fields. During the 2015–2016 Season, CAMH hosted talks with each of the exhibiting artists, as well as Maria Chavez, Jason Moran, and Sarah Thornton.

MUSIC, FILM, AND CAMH Loft Concerts are specially programmed by the renowned contemporary classical group Musiqa for each Brown Foundation PERFORMANCE Gallery exhibition. Other recent musical performances have EVENTS included the Texas Noise and Ambient Noise Environment Festival, avant-garde and jazz concerts, interactive children’s musicals, as well as dance performances by local companies. CAMH also pres- ents many films, ranging from high art to documentary to camp, often in collaboration with other great Houston arts organizations. During the 2015–2016 Season, CAMH programs featured perfor- mances by DJ Flash Gordon, Lisa E. Harris, Jana Hunter, Jennie C. Jones, and Playlab.

COMMUNITY The Museum provides ongoing programs about contemporary art that are not related to a specific exhibition on view. For example, PROGRAMS 20Hertz is a lecture series conceived around themes of musical influence in everyday life. The series asks artists, musicians, and all-around-creatives to share the music that has influenced them past and present. PUBLIC TOURS CAMH offers group tours for visitors of all ages, backgrounds, and interests. During guided tours, members of our esteemed FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Team—a group of artists and art historians who are extensively trained on each exhibition— encourage visitors to creatively observe their surroundings. The FAQ Team promotes open-ended discussion and reflection, making connections between art and the everyday. The programs devel- oped by the CAMH Education staff aim to guide a visitor in the exploration of new spaces, ideas, and perspectives. For individuals visiting the museum, the FAQ Team gives free public tours every Saturday at 1PM and 3PM. No appointment is necessary, and tours are available free of charge.

SCHOOL TOURS Providing students with access to the arts becomes increasingly important as budget cuts continue to limit arts education in AND WORKSHOPS schools, and is crucial to CAMH’s mission and our commitment to the Houston community. CAMH offers tours to schools and com- munity groups throughout Houston and beyond, providing insight into the art and themes on view, and in some cases providing some of the only arts education students will receive throughout the school year. CAMH’s FAQ Team lead school tours. They discuss CAMH artwork in ways that resonate with audiences of all age groups and are able to answer and ask questions that generate important and insightful dialogue amongst students. Each school tour is accompanied by an optional hands-on workshop, which is tailored to the students’ age level and curriculum. Teachers can access Teacher Guides on CAMH’s website so that they can review the work on view and incorporate related themes and subject matter into lessons leading up to the tour.

In conjunction with our world-class exhibitions, CAMH presents a variety of innovative education and outreach pro- grams designed to make our exhibitions more intellectually and emotionally accessible to our diverse audiences. Many of these programs are youth-focused, including hands-on work- shops, Family Days, and programming organized by our Teen Council, among others. Additionally, CAMH offers a thriving tours program that reaches out to local schools, universities, and community groups. CAMH strives to cultivate cultural lit- eracy within the Houston community and beyond by nurturing artistic foundations in our K–12 and college audiences, and by encouraging lifelong learning through all-ages program- ming. The vast majority of CAMH’s education and outreach programs are offered free of charge, providing an invaluable access point to contemporary art for our community.

YOUTH-FOCUSED PROGRAMS: PROVIDING ARTS ACCESS TO ALL CHILDREN.

Education and Public Programs 49 Open Studio is a new monthly hands-on art workshop, open to all OPEN STUDIO ages. CAMH’s Education staff and FAQ Team lead the arts instruc- NEW! tion. Visitors have the opportunity to create an artwork inspired by themes, media, and artistic processes currently on view in our exhibitions. CAMH’s first Open Studio was held in tandem with the exhibition flow 流, a site-specific installation in the Museum’s Zilkha Gallery, constructed from large rolls of recycled adding machine paper and meant to embody a melting tundra with floating, fractured glaciers. Over 60 youths and their families had the opportunity to create complex, folded paper pop-up cards. All Open Studios are offered for free to the public.

50 Annual Report 15–16 Several Saturdays a year, CAMH holds Family Day in the FAMILY DAYS Museum’s galleries and, weather permitting, on the Museum’s lawn. Houston-area families are invited to join CAMH’s FAQ Team for impromptu tours of the exhibitions, participate in hands-on crafts related to the media and themes found in the current exhi- bitions, and discuss related subjects with artists and scholars. Director of Education and Public Programming Felice Cleveland has expanded the breadth of topics introduced during Family Day, incorporating increased STEM-related subject matter. During a Family Day held in conjunction with THE INTERVIEW: Red, Red Future—an exhibition of work that dealt with the sub- ject of Mars and space travel by conceptual artist MPA—visiting families created Mars rovers and sundials, received tours of the exhibition by FAQ Team members, and had the opportunity to view the sun through solar telescopes provided by the Houston Astronomical Society (HAS). Members of HAS were on hand to answer questions, demonstrate the differences between each of the six telescopes, and explain the different parts of the sun, such as sun spots and solar flares. Family Reviews—summaries of each exhibition—are available online for prior review, and in the Museum.

CAMH’s Teen Council changed my life. Not only did it give me a more defined sense of purpose than I’d ever had before, it gave me the chance to use that drive to realize the common goals of myself and my peers. Teen Council made me feel fulfilled, like I was working to actualize something larger than myself. But most of all, it helped me become a better human being. It helped make me whole. The sense of autonomy and whole- ness programs like Teen Council give teens is massive. I’ll be parsing out how it did that for years to come, and I have CAMH to thank for it. I remain immensely grateful.

52 Annual Report 15–16 Now in its seventeenth year, CAMH’s Teen Council was one of the first organizations of its kind in the U.S. This diverse group of teenagers from the Houston area is employed by CAMH to create high impact, teen-specific programming with the goal of making the museum a welcoming public space for youth audiences. Members are responsible for all aspects of pro- gram development, from generating ideas to marketing and presenting these programs to their peers. These programs are developed specifically to tap into and highlight the creative enthusiasm of Houston’s youth. As a branch of the Education Department, Teen Council serves our diverse Houston audi- ences and beyond, annually reaching 15,000 to 18,000 teens of all socioeconomic levels, including youth from inner-city schools and disadvantaged families.

Teen Council has been an amazing experience, and with the privilege of curating an exhibit, it’s been truly life changing. The CAMH sort of gave us that bridge between starting artist to full time experience of an artist working museums or galleries. It was the catalyst for many events that I never thought I’d experience until my later career as a working artist. Because we are young, it really helps strengthen our community in the arts but also creates transparency with people we might put above us due to experience.

68 Annual Report 15–16 CAMH’s special events also had a notably successful year. Our all women’s gala, Another Great Night in November, wel- comed a remarkable 250+ women who gathered together in celebration of the Museum on November 11, 2015. CAMH’s Annual Gala and Art Auction on April 15, 2016, saw impressive auction numbers, with $225,000 worth of art purchased in support of the Museum–well above our goal set for the event. With community engagement and stew- ardship at the forefront of our goals for the 2016–2017 season, we are pleased to introduce a number of new patrons groups to further involve all of Houston’s diverse audiences. Most notably, CAMH’s Young Patrons group launched this fall and aims to provide young members, both seasoned and first-time muse- um-goers, with unique opportunities to learn, create, reflect, explore, and cham- pion local arts and culture in a way that is distinctly CAMH. On behalf of the CAMH family, thank you for allowing us the resources and oppor- tunities to create and further our legacy.

The CAMH Alumni Club honors the Museum’s outstanding community of leaders and dedicated supporters.

Development 73 SPECIAL EVENTS ANOTHER GREAT NIGHT

Celebrating over 25 years of art and elegance, Another Great Night in November is a unique femme fête full of stunning art, friendly competition, and Houston’s most spectacular women. This ladies-only soirée, deemed by PaperCity as “one of the season’s most elegant affairs,” has garnered an enthusiastic following of Houston’s finest female art lovers. The evening included our popular cocktail hour quiz, as well as an elegant seated dinner by A Fare Extraordinaire, décor by Rebekah Johnson of Bergner & Johnson, and prizes generously provided by Zadok Jewelers. 2015’s Another Great Night was chaired by Katharine B. Barthelme, Kate Criner Bellin, and Annie Criner Eifler and hosted by Jereann Chaney. The event remembered Marion Barthelme Fort, a longtime friend of CAMH whose commitment to contem- porary art in Houston will always be cherished. Marion supported CAMH for over 30 years, in addition to other cornerstone Houston arts institutions like The Menil Collection and Inprint. 2015’s Another Great Night honored Susie Criner for her long- standing support of CAMH and Houston’s contemporary art community. For over 30 years, Susie has been one of CAMH’s greatest advocates, serving the Museum as a board member and co-chairing the 65th anniversary of the CAMH gala with her husband Sanford. Proceeds from the evening benefited CAMH’s exhibitions and related education and outreach programs that stimulate and inspire thousands.

Every year the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston hosts a vibrant evening in Houston—a lively gala for the city’s most visionary arts enthusiasts and an art auction featuring some of the best contemporary art the world has to offer. The Annual Gala and Art Auction benefits CAMH’s outstanding exhibitions and arts programming. Many find it to be an excellent place to start building their art collections. The 2016 Annual Gala and Art Auction, Upside Down, Get Down with CAMH!, was chaired by Claudia and Roberto Contreras and James Bell. Rebekah Johnson, of Bergner & Johnson, brought the lively theme to fruition by suspending trees from CAMH’s ceiling. The auction featured several noteworthy artists, including Mel Chin, JooYoung Choi, Steven Evans, Camille Henrot, Scooter Laforge, Marilyn Minter, A.L. Steiner, Carrie Mae Weems, and many more. The dynamic auction was overseen by Christie’s Steve Zick. In addition, Tenenbaum Jewelers presented prizes to the lucky winners of a raffle. Jackson & Company not only spon- sored the event, it generously donated a prize to the auction winner who won the highest bid of the evening.
