SUMMARY:Opening Reception: 2666 Project
DESCRIPTION:The 2666 Project is a series of paintings made directly onto the pages of a physical paperback copy of Roberto Bolaño’s novel 2666. The book\, unfinished at the time of the author’s death\, is sprawling\, fragmented\, and deeply haunting. It moves through overlapping narratives of violence\, obsession\, academia\, and art\, which\, for me\, left behind a powerful sense of foreboding—hinting at something deeply troubling within our global economic policies and its impact on marginalized cultures. \nI have painted over every odd-numbered page\, for a total of 457 pages/paintings. My intention was not to create “illustrations” that directly match the narrative\, but to make work based on the impressions and emotional imprint the book left me with. By painting on every odd-numbered page of the book\, transforming the physical copy of the book into a continuous sequence and complete visual object. \nThe goal isn’t to explain or interpret 2666\, but to remain with the feeling it left behind. My intent is to create a standalone work layered onto a preexisting one—a transformation of a mass-produced object into something that stands on its own.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Subject to Surviving | Juvana Soliven
DESCRIPTION:Art League Houston is pleased to present “Subject to Surviving\,” the Texas debut solo exhibition of Honolulu-based artist Juvana Soliven. This installation presents a years-long exploration of work that utilizes a pixelated censor motif as a visual language\, which speaks to themes of bodily autonomy\, gender performance\, and survival. \nSoliven’s work has been guided by Audre Lorde’s “The Master’s Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master’s House”\, as well as Terri Kapsalis’ “Mastering the Female Pelvis: Race and Tools of Reproduction”\, an essay which articulates the horror of gynecological practices suffered by enslaved Black women\, the mass sterilization by the US of women and girls in Puerto Rico\, the forced sterilization of incarcerated women\, and coercive and “incentivized” contraceptive trials placed on poor women of color around the world by US and European governments. These are systems of control exercised against women under the guise of societal improvement and medical advancement that would contribute to the fulfillment of our duties in society.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: No Longer\, Not Yet | Marisol Valencia
DESCRIPTION:Art League Houston is pleased to present “No Longer\, Not Yet\,” an installation of new sculptures by Houston-based artist Marisol Valencia. The exhibition arises from a year and a half of sustained volunteer work at a Houston-area shelter serving migrant women and children\, and is grounded in lived experience\, shared making\, and acts of care. \nAs news cycles around immigration continue to speed up and flatten into headlines\, Valencia resists the pressure to resolve or frame the subject through policy or argument. Instead\, she lingers with lived experience and what it means to move through uncertainty\, and the slower\, quieter realities of endurance\, adaptation\, and care that rarely make it into public discourse.

Each artist will use her unique style to capture the feel and spirit of each region. Basing their work on the same locations\, their different viewpoints and styles will express two different visions of the same region.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening: Poetics of the Mundane
DESCRIPTION:Archway Gallery presents Poetics of the Mundane\, featuring new paintings and collages by Silvia PintoSouza and ceramic works and sculptures by guest artist Jeff Forster\, on view May 2–June 4\, 2026. Join the opening reception Saturday\, May 2\, from 5 to 8 p.m.\, with artist talk at 6:30 p.m. \nArchway Gallery artist\, Silvia PintoSouza\, and Department Head of Ceramics at The Glassell School of Art\, Jeff Forster\, are focusing their dual exhibit on the transitory nature of life and the scenes and objects that fire their imagination\, capturing both a sense of permanence and transition through their artistic media. \nThis compelling dual exhibition explores the fleeting nature of everyday life\, transforming ordinary objects and overlooked materials into works that balance permanence and change. PintoSouza elevates familiar subjects through layered\, translucent acrylics\, simplifying form and color to create luminous\, abstract compositions rich with depth and nuance. Working in intimate formats\, she brings precision and quiet intensity to each piece. \nForster reimagines discarded materials—drawing from agricultural and industrial remnants—to create sculptural forms that highlight texture\, process\, and reinvention. His environmentally conscious approach reveals beauty in what is often ignored\, offering a powerful reflection on memory\, transformation\, and the poetry found in the everyday.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: LAMP group exhibition
DESCRIPTION:LAMP is a group exhibition rooted in practices of accumulation and adornment. Primarily sculptural\, the works span ceramic\, papier-mâché\, textiles\, and found objects—materials that carry the marks of touch\, use\, and return. The exhibition draws inspiration from the fantastical potential of a bookshelf alcove crowded with knickknacks\, and from the push and pull of a warm light bulb: how it reveals the texture of its shade while allowing everything beyond its beam to slip into shadow. LAMP lingers in this tension—between illumination and obscurity\, excess and intimacy—asking what it means to look again at what we already have. At its core\, LAMP is about making a home. Home here is not fixed\, but a space of continual return. Each return brings something new: an object\, a gesture\, a layer. Through acts of adornment\, familiar things are re-seen and re-translated. Function is rendered implicit; materiality\, charm\, and care emerges energetically. Participating artists include Caroline Perkison\, Emma Rossoff\, Gabrielle Constantine\, Jamie Lerman\, Julia Kunze\, and Magdalena Jarkowiec.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: PHANTOM LIMB
DESCRIPTION:Harman-Parrish Atelier is proud to present Phantom Limb\, an exhibition of sculpture and works on paper by Dallas artists Tabatha Trolli and Xxavier Edward Carter. On view from April 9\, 2026 through April 23\, 2026\, the exhibition brings together two dynamic bodies of expressive work united by a shared inquiry into the human body and the natural world. \nThe exhibition’s title and works evoke a simultaneous familiarity and distance—to the body\, to nature\, to form—expressed through material\, color\, and abstraction. Cycles of loss\, gain\, estrangement\, intimacy\, manufacture\, and regeneration converge in these works\, inviting viewers into a space where the physical and the phantom are held in careful tension.
