OUTSIDE THE LINES
Marking the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston’s sixty-fifth anniversary, Outside the Lines was a six-part exhibition series conceived as an evolving dialogue on the state of abstraction in the twenty-first century. Bringing together works by ninety-one artists, this companion volume explores contemporary approaches to painting and other mediums from multiple vantage points.
OUT SIDE THE LINES
OUTSIDE THE LINES Presented on the occasion of the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston’s sixty-fifth anniversary, Outside the Lines was a six-part exhibition series conceived as a dynamic conversation on contemporary abstraction. CAMH’s director, Bill Arning, and the museum’s two curators, Valerie Cassel Oliver and Dean Daderko, each organized two exhibitions, which united both of the museum’s galleries in a single thematic presentation for the first time. The exhibitions highlight the various discourses surrounding abstraction, including the interrogation of the history and practice of painting, the contentious nature of the two-dimensional frame, and experimental approaches that engage new languages and processes. Many of the artists featured employ nontraditional materials or oddball methodologies to create paintings and three-dimensional or multimedia works that are visually vibrant, physically unruly, and utterly surprising. This richly illustrated volume includes essays by the three curators and reproductions and installation views of nearly all the works in the exhibitions. Featuring works by ninety-one artists representing different generations and sensibilities, Outside the Lines demonstrates CAMH’s commitment to presenting the most dynamic and adventurous art being made today.
