This past weekend in Houston marked the third installment of Black Buddha Creative Agency and artist and curator Robert Hodge's exhibition "Collect It For the Culture III."

"Latinx art is still waiting to be taken up by museum acquisitions and a collector base. It’s an art still in the process of legitimation."

"I’m looking at large trends. So many visual artists write!"

"Through interdisciplinary partnerships and works from the permanent collection, this exhibition demonstrates the purposeful language of color as it was discovered through scientific methods and as it plays a role in compositional design, meaning, and experience."

Christina Rees and Brandon Zech discuss artists' use of windows as makeshift galleries and question if cities should force businesses to put art in empty storefronts.

“The show gave me the opportunity to look backwards and look forwards at the same time, and to think about the resonance of images, actions, and words then and now.” 

"Flores' work and play are steered by questions of audience, excess, glitches, legacy/archive, experiments of liveness, and performances of an online identity."

Featuring works by ​John Alexander, Bob Camblin, Virgil Grotfeldt, Ann Harathis, Dorothy Hood, Perry House, Sharon Kopriva, Bert L. Long Jr., Jesse Lott ​and​ Dick Wray​.

"I am attempting to keep my visual journey to show survivability and perhaps beauty in an era that forefronts our vulnerabilities."

Navigating the Wienermobile into town will be two of Oscar Mayer's Hotdoggers — AKA pilots of the hotdog-shaped vehicle.

The exhibition is co-curated by Tyler Blackwell and Steven Matijcio.

Who doesn't like some nice warm fire trickery on a cold winter day?

The contract between the individual and the community is the space where Mark Menjivar focuses his efforts.

"Emigrating and maintaining close relationships seemed to be two incompatible concepts. But they turned out not to be."

The exhibition is informed by the artists’ experiences during Hurricane Harvey.

"Living in these characters gives me a freedom to explore what it feels like to embrace emotion and let it do what it needs to — through sadness or confusion or strange sexiness or filth or isolation." 

Clemons’ photographs have a hardscrabble grace about them, with a rawboned edge that is sweetened with Main Street exoticism.

In pictures, William Sarradet walks us through nine current gallery shows.

"Painting on paper presented a new working methodology for Pastine through an intimacy in scale and immediacy in process."
