See the work on display in "Fragility" at the Menil Drawing Institute. Join Hamilton tonight at 7 p.m. as she shares insights into her multidisciplinary practice. The program, created especially for the Menil Collection's Artist Talk Series, combines reading, audience participation, video, and paper to present an immersive experience that extends Hamilton's work through time and space. 🎨 Ann Hamilton in collaboration with Dieu Donné, "poche," 2014.

Named after the Gothic cathedral in Reims, France, the work is made of plaster, chicken wire, and found objects including religious sculpture, plastic toys, and a skull with horns. This work is among the artist's "shooting paintings," also widely known by the French word "tir," meaning "shooting." To make this work, the artist shot at the composition created with found objects and containers of paint that burst upon the bullet's impact. The artist explained that, through this violent process, she wanted to make her paintings bleed. It was only through acts of destruction, she insisted, that there was life. See this work on display in the Menil's galleries of Modern and Contemporary art. 🎨 Niki de Saint Phalle, "Reims," 1962. Paint, plaster, wire, chicken wire, cloth, and found objects on plywood, 74 1/2 × 48 × 11 7/8 in. (189.2 × 121.9 × 30.2 cm). The Menil Collection, Houston. © Niki Charitable Art Foundation.

The landscape around the museum is a living extension of the neighborhood, meant to complement the art and architecture. Explore the Menil's 30-acre campus. Green spaces are open daily, dawn to dusk. 📸 Photos: Lauren Marek, Chris Dunn #Menil #MenilCollection 28 Oct 2026 Inspired by the Surrealist “exquisite corpse” game, Edward Gorey’s 1981 book “Mélange Funeste” features a series of standing figures—human, avian, insect, and other—whose three sections can be recombined to form strange new beings. With 16 “complete” characters, the viewer can create up to 560 unique combinations of figures. A copy of “Mélange Funeste” is among the Menil Library’s special collection holdings. 📖 Edward Gorey, “Mélange Funeste” (Gotham Book Mart, 1981).

Polls are open through October 30, ahead of Election Day on November 3. Among the Menil Collection's photography holdings is one of Bruce Davidson's most iconic photographs. Taken in 1965 during the Selma to Montgomery march for voting rights, the image shows a young man with a painted face; the word “VOTE” is inscribed across his forehead, a large American flag is unfurled behind him, and he looks directly into the camera. 🎨 Bruce Davidson, "Selma March, Alabama," 1965.

The exhibition explores paper's delicate yet resilient characteristics through works made of cardboard, paper napkins, and baking parchment paper, among other papers of varying sturdiness and textures. Inside the sample book, find a variety of papers represented throughout the show. The sample book is available at the Drawing Institute front desk, for in-gallery use. 📸 Photos: Chris Dunn #Menil #MenilCollection 15 Oct 2026 Spend time with “Wall Drawing / Redux: A119,” the new site-specific work by Jitish Kallat on view at the Menil Drawing Institute. The layered, time-based work grows out of the artist’s sustained engagement with Project A119, a partly declassified 1958 plan by the United States Air Force to detonate a nuclear bomb on the Moon. Printed directly on the Drawing Institute’s wall are all 190 declassified pages of the document “A Study of Lunar Research Flights – Volume 1.” A sheath of laminated glass features enlarged images of Kallat’s watercolor graphics evoking an unrealized episode of ambition, secrecy, and violence during the Cold War. The final layer is a special film whose transparency can be regulated electrically and whose surface was marked by Kallat to resemble cracks and holes in the glass. The Menil Collection’s art buildings are open Wednesday–Sunday, 11 a.m.–7 p.m. Admission is always free. 🎥 Slate50 Studio #Menil #MenilCollection 13 Oct 2026 Explore the Menil Collection's 30-acre campus this weekend.
