About

Illuminated portrait of me by Matthew Glover

Rachel Hooper is associate curator at Blaffer Gallery, the Art Museum of the University of Houston.

This blog is a record of art I’ve seen, projects I am working on, and events I’ve attended. It is also a love letter to Houston, which is the most fun and intellectually stimulating city I’ve ever lived in.

My recent projects:

Josephine Meckseper (curator)

Enchantment (curator)

The Center for Land Use Interpretation’s “Texas Oil: Landscape of an Industry” (curator)

Celebutants, Groupies, and Friends: A Photographic Legacy from the Andy Warhol Foundation (curator)

Worlds Away: New Suburban Landscapes (assisted with the exhibition and contributed to the catalogue)

Brave New Worlds (assisted with the exhibition and contributed to the catalogue)

Kara Walker: My Complement, My Enemy, My Oppressor, My Love (assisted with the exhibition and contributed to the educational materials)
