Note: the following is part of Glasstire’s series of short videos, Five-Minute Tours, for which commercial galleries, museums, nonprofits and artist-run spaces across the state of Texas send us video walk-throughs of their current exhibitions. This will continue while the coronavirus situation hinders public access to exhibitions. Let’s get your show in front of an audience.

Via the Museum:
this show is a
video book
consisting of
brief “pages”
arranged in
a suite
in total, an essay
in the singular, a poem;
each page a “poem”
the suite comprises
variations on a theme
it is a theory
having pathos
but lacking definition
an ambiance;
a field of meaning of
which one can enter
but from which no
message
can be derived
