Screening and Conversation with Yue Nakayama and Dorota Biczel: Looking for Love (and Job)
2021-12-30 17:00 - 19:00 | Houston Center for Photography
Attend the Screening!
Join our 2021 Carol Crow Memorial Fellow, Yue Nakayama, and HCP’s Executive Director & Curator, Dorota Biczel, for a screening and conversation about Nakayama’s Fellowship project, a 19-minute video entitled Looking for Love (and Job). The artist is back in Houston for the holidays, and the conversation will delve deep into the subjects of art-, place-, and relationship-making in the Gulf Coast. For several years, Nakayama’s films have tenderly and humorously explored how different belief and value systems clash and interweave in American multicultural society. However, Looking for Love (and Job) hits particularly close to home as the artist zeroes in on the mix of migrant ethnicities and species unique to Houston area.
A dedicated screening will start at 5:00 pm.

A conversation between Nakayama and Biczel, followed by Q-&-A with the audience, will take place immediately after the screening.

In Conversation: Aaron Turner on Black Alchemy
2022-01-06 17:30 - 19:00 | Zoom
Attend the Event! – Thursday, January 6th, 2022
Before the 2021 Fellowship exhibition closes, join the 2021 HCP Fellowship recipient, Aaron Turner, and HCP’s Executive Director & Curator, Dorota Biczel, for a virtual conversation about the artist’s ongoing project, Black Alchemy. The conversation will illuminate Turner’s process, focusing on the roles that the studio, darkroom, and printing play in producing the work’s overall effects. The process is quintessential in the artist’s ongoing investigation of Blackness as a material, as an idea, and as a metaphysical framework. The conversation will also examine some of the key thinkers Turner draws upon to probe the limits of representation, as well as the different expectations associated with Black aesthetics.
