WHAT SHALL WE DO NEXT? | DIVERSEWORKS
Exhibition is open through March 19.
Gallery Hours: Wed: 12–6pm, Thurs/Fri/Sat: 12–8pm
What Shall We Do Next? is a group exhibition that examines how technology and advertising have shifted our relationships to our physical bodies, our shaping of subjectivity and
notions of the real. The exhibition is comprised of a variety of works across mediums – including
drawings, paintings, video animations and performance – that all acknowledge and incorporate the effects of technology, commerce and advertising. The artists brought together in What
Shall We Do Next? – Danielle Dean, Kristin Lucas, Julien Prévieux and the artist collective
Versace Versace Versace (Loriel Beltran, Domingo Castillo, Aramis Gutierrez and Jonathan
Gonzalez) – consider ideas of the real in relation to physical materials, technology and advertising, as well as how the body can act as both material and ideological subject. DiverseWorks
is located at 3400 Main Street, Suite 292, Houston, Texas 77002. Entry is free.
