The year 2018 ushers in the 70th anniversary of the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston (CAMH), the second-oldest non-collecting contemporary arts institution in the United States. Although the name and location of the museum have shifted since its 1948 formation, CAMH’s commitment to presenting cutting edge art of its time has remained steadfast. In particular, the institution has continued to celebrate works beyond the traditional scope of visual arts, showcasing design, music, dance, and literary traditions alongside the plastic arts. The exhibition revisits CAMH’s 70-year performative legacy of live arts by mining selected performance documentation and related ephemera from its rich archives. Stage Environment is curated by Patricia Restrepo, Exhibitions Manager and Assistant Curator.
