🎨 ART OPENING 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM "Jordan Strafer | Trilogy” on view thru November 26 at Contemporary Art Museum Houston (5216 Montrose Blvd., Houston 77006). Both perversely pleasurable and pleasurably perverse, Strafer’s videos are absurd, fantastical, humorous, and, at times, violent meditations on power and the uniquely human capacity to inflict violence, be it physical, psychological, or both. Details at https://camh.org/event/jordan-strafer-trilogy/. Direct inquiries to (713) 284-8250.
🎨 ART OPENING 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM “Alison Donaldson: Paper Trail” on view thru September 9 at Gallery 200 in The Silos of Sawyer Yards (1502 Sawyer). The artist explores her love of deconstructing original artwork and piecing it back together into intuitively created works that are hybrids of collage and abstract expressionism. Each piece included is created with some form of torn or cut pieces of original, mixed media art. Her process begins with a meditative free painting that doubles as personal healing.
