Projects & Exhibitions

The Congo Street Initiative started from the desire to help stabilize the home-ownership of five families on Congo Street in the East Dallas neighborhood of Jubilee Park.

The larger Treatise on Imaginary Explosions Vol. I project includes an experimental book that considers geological time alongside
the deep time of trauma, as well as a film about affective geologies and the idea of becoming mineral.

The exhibition features Mary Ellen Carroll’s prototype 180,  a subtle intervention in a suburban Houston neighborhood, and Matthew Moore’s Rotations: Moore Estates, an alteration to a farm field on the outskirts of Phoenix anticipating its development into tract housing.

In this reactivated performance/installation piece from 2001, Myrrha will write the names and birthdates of each member of the surrounding neighborhood in a process of unearthing the specificity of the community.

SANDBOXING is a game designed specifically for NCFR in which players are asked to engage with two key resources: land (sand) and water.

His project for NCFR addresses the historical aesthetic of ruins, including traces of displacement, as well as their signification of social and economic failure. 

In this work, Williams pushes materials to their limits, challenging our assumptions about them and emphasizing the inevitability of change.

Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral (Wheatley's Place) is an abstract video installation based on Wheatley Place, a historic neighborhood of Dallas and a planned African American community.
