Guest curated by former Houstonian Anila Quayyum Agha, Shades-Drawing the Space is an exhibition that gives line over to linear structures that stand in relief of the flat surface. For each artist, abstract notions of the physical and ephemeral, past and present, real and facsimile, grand and miniscule interact in a play of light and shade.
