Texas Contemporary 2016 will partner with influential institutions including Inprint, Gulf Coast, and the Houston Ballet, broadening the fair's outreach into the creativity and patronage that are so central to the city of Houston. Launching the fair into a weekend of artistic celebration, Houston Ballet's Oliver Halkowich and renowned artist Chris Doyle, represented by Catharine Clark Gallery, will present a physical conversation between Houston Ballet Dancers and Doyle's projection piece Circular Lament. To be performed solely on Thursday, September 29, during the fair's Opening Night Preview produced in support of Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, the exciting collaboration speaks to the artistic innovation that sits at the heart of Texas Contemporary 2016.
Inprint, Houston's premier literary arts nonprofit organization, will present Poetry Buskers—an interactive installation of on-demand, responsive poetry—one of the many avenues through which Inprint supports and engages local readers and writers of fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction. Fair-goers will have the unique opportunity to inspire a poem with a prompt of their choosing. Houston's leading journal of literature, art, and critical art writing, Gulf Coast, will take over the Texas Contemporary Theater to present their erudite and insightfully curated program of artist talks, critical writing discussions, and a panel on the fair's focus section, The Other Mexico.
