The
Blaffer
Art
Museum
is
proud
to
present
the
first
solo
museum
exhibition
in
the
United
States
of
preeminent
Dutch
artist
Gabriel
Lester,
who
has
gained
an
international
standing
for
his
art,
performance,
and
film
as
well
as
his
dynamic
public
art
installations.
Across
his
now
decades-long
career,
Lester
has
developed
a
captivating
cinematic
lens
through
which
to
see
and
imagine
the
world
–
consistently
locating
wonder
in
the
seemingly
stolid
and
mundane.
For
this
exhibition
Lester
is
most
interested
in
the
interplay
between
light
and
shadow,
as
well
as
the
seen
and
unseen,
as
he
responds
to
Houston
and
the
fossil
fuel
industry
that
so
deeply
sheathes
the
region.
