Venom. Poison. Misfortune! Heinous killers or misjudged miscreants? You be the judge as the Houston Museum of Natural Science’s most lethal exhibit – Death by Natural Causes – is now open! Meet the malefactors who do the Grim Reaper’s deadly work while disguised in delightful colors, sweet scents, unassuming identities, and more. Death by Natural Causes will introduce you to the range of “animal, vegetable and mineral” dangers that lurk in their everyday lives. Through a collection of specimens, text and interactives, visitors can see what can cause a death, either directly or indirectly, from the natural world. Poisonous, venomous and toxic are just a few of the terms that will be clarified, and things you interact with almost daily will be used as examples — mushrooms, snakes, spiders, and even common foods! Old wives tales and urban myths will be debunked, as visitors travel through five general areas of rich graphics, compelling visuals and surprising specimens. Step inside and explore your fears, be they animal, vegetable or mineral, but tread lightly… You never know what treacherous creatures crawl just below your feet.

Tacita Dean: Blind Folly is the first major museum survey in the United States of work by British European visual artist Tacita Dean (b. 1965). The exhibition, organized in close collaboration with Dean, spotlights her career-defining approach to creating art through unmediated and chance-based drawing processes across a variety of mediums, from film to printmaking. Blind Folly, the show’s title, reflects Dean’s desire to let the behavior of her mediums dictate the results of her work. For the artist, the playful and old-fashioned phrase connoting foolishness, “blind folly,” represents the role chance and fate play in the creative act. The exhibition will include new works inspired by the artist’s time in Houston, some following her residency at the Menil’s Cy Twombly Gallery, alongside Dean’s monumental blackboard drawings and groups of rarely shown drawings from her studio on paper, found postcards, and albumen photographs. A separate gallery will present a rotating group of her 16mm films.

SI YO FUERA PRESIDENTE… Es el lanzamiento de una candidatura única. Que se debe de encargar, antes de Edmundo y de MCM. Es el presidente quien debe barrer y limpiar la casa antes del «Go» democrático. El Líder que sin piedad ni clemencia meterá al país en cintura. El hombre que, sin prisa, pero sin pausa, le va a meter las cabras en el corral a los mal acostumbrados. El único capaz de mandar en un país sin militares, es decir, exento de zánganos. El público, en sus palabras, descubrirá la oferta. Se reirán mucho, creyendo que es broma. Veamos un breve texto de su discurso: Nosotros hemos demostrado sobradamente que no somos capaces de manejar con probidad, un coño. Porque si no robo yo, roba el de al lado. A nosotros nos dan a manejar una finca y la chocamos. Además, vamos a tener un socio o aliado comercial de marca mayor, que va a traer sus y otras inversiones al país. Y a ese joven, a Elon Musk -que por cierto me prometió que vendría- ¿estará por aquí?... ¿Ya le dieron café a ese hombre? A Elon Musk no le podemos presentar las cuentas del gran capitán… ¿Al dueño de Telsa? ¡A ese no! ¡¡¡Porque ese Teslas corta!!! Todos los cargos públicos de relevancia serán elegidos por meritocracia y no por elecciones. Y cada uno de ellos: Alcalde, Gobernador, o Jefe Civil, tendrá a su lado un guardián que supervisará toda su correspondencia, llamadas, conversaciones, citas, reuniones y actividades en general. Ese importante cargo solo puede ser ejercido por un monje tibetano. Que no usan celulares y tienen voto de pobreza. Además, no pueden aceptar regalos, porque como los monjes no tienen bolsillos, no tienen donde guardarse un carajo. Y desde el día uno, el comunismo estará proscrito y será perseguido junto al tráfico humano, la pornografía infantil y la pedofilia. Ya que el comunismo te lo quieren sembrar desde muy joven, luego un comunista es un corruptor de menores, un despreciable pedófilo político. www.youtube.com/@OrlandoUrdanetaOfficial Information Source: PIPOPRODUCTIONS | eventbrite
