Join us to celebrate new artwork on Rice University's campus, enjoy bites and beverages with the artist Yifan Jiang and curator Noor Alé.
Off the Wall at the Brochstein Pavilion is a partnership between the Moody Center for the Arts and the Core Residency Program at the Glassell School of Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. The series commissions Core Residency Program alumni to create site-specific installations for this space, which will be on view for one year.
The next installation, Yifan Jiang's Cafeteria, was inspired by Jiang’s frequent visits to the Brochstein Pavilion while she audited philosophy classes at Rice University during her two-year Core Residency Program at the Glassell School of Art at the Museum of Fine Arts. This mural features Illustrations of pastries overlaid with acrylic paint depicting the silhouettes of windswept oak trees, birds in flight, and passing students. Sited in a space where contemplation and leisure intersect, Jiang’s Cafeteria raises questions about what we know, what reality is, and where it begins to slip into a dream.
The event is free and open to the public.
