Montgomery, known for her immersive installations and films influenced by East Texas; and Reynier Leyva, whose Dust Paintings use dust from significant sites such as the Astrodome to make &#8220;meditations on memory, history and place.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The other artists in the show are Mark Flood, Lovie Olivia, Preston Douglas Boyer, Bradley Kerl and Eric DePan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a native Texan, it\u2019s especially meaningful to present an exhibition that reflects the\u00a0extraordinary artistic energy emerging from this state,\u201d said Kara Przybyl McIver, deputy director of Opera Gallery Houston. \u201cTexas has become one of the most compelling places\u00a0in the country for artists to develop ambitious, deeply considered practices. Rather than\u00a0presenting a singular narrative, this exhibition brings together artists whose work is rooted in\u00a0place while engaging universal conversations around memory, identity, landscape,\u00a0architecture, and social change. It demonstrates that Texas is not simply participating in the\u00a0global art world\u2014it is helping shape it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Opera Gallery is located at 4444 Westheimer Road,\u00a0Suite A115.
