Jean Luc Mylayne
September 8–November 10, 2007
For more than thirty years Jean Luc Mylayne has explored the intimate bond between subject and photographer through a non-traditional approach that combines exacting conception, visionary inventiveness, and infinite patience. Mylayne's photographic subjects, commonplace birds such as sparrows, starlings, and bluebirds, belie the wholly unique experience that Mylayne captures in his stunning photography. Mylayne has traveled nomadically in Europe and the United States, at times spending months, even years, in search of his ‘commonplace' subjects.

Past:
Katrina Moorhead: A Thing Called Early Blur
A Thing Called Early Blur was Katrina Moorhead’s first solo exhibition in an American museum. Following on the heels of a residency in Reykjavik, Iceland, the exhibition presented new drawings, objects, and a room-size installation made in response to Iceland’s powerfully unique natural and cultural landscape.
Katrina Moorhead: A Thing Called Early Blur was organized by Claudia Schmuckli, Curator, Blaffer Gallery, and was accompanied by a fully-illustrated catalogue. The exhibition was made possible in part by generous contributions from Houston Endowment Inc. and The Visionary Initiatives Fund: Vicky and Don Eastveld, Miranda and Dan Wainberg. Additional support was provided by the Peter Norton Family Foundation, Linda Pace Foundation, Gretchen and Andrew McFarland, Beverly and Howard Robinson, Emily and Alton Steiner, Cecily E. Horton, and Inman Gallery, Houston. |
