Boil water notice houston

Earlier this month, the Blaffer Art Museum at the University of Houston opened the year with its Winter Exhibition, highlighting three different artists, each offering a window into their personal worldviews. Two of the exhibits will be on view to the public from now until mid-March. One of them, "The Secrecy of Water" by Leslie Martinez , is a collection of abstract paintings highlighted by colorful ridges of texture. According to Martinez, the work is their attempt to capture the ecological makeup of the southern Texas border. Current-day social justice issues like climate change, extreme drought, and the ecological landscape of Martinez's hometown of McAllen in the Rio Grande Valley provide a peek into their past. "The crunchy fabric, the embeddedness is a lot of what you see coming out of the ground, sort of like clothing or rejected constructed materials or anything sort of submerged with dirt over it and dirts under it," Martinez says. "It's mysterious and strange. … [Read more...] about Ridges, ropes and robots ring in the new year at Houston’s Blaffer Museum

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 6 “Rebecca Morris: The Ache of Bright” will be on exhibit at the Blaffer Art Museum at the University of Houston starting Friday, Jan. 11. Rebecca Morris is a Los Angeles based abstract painter. This is her first solo U.S. museum show since 2005, and her first show in Texas. “I have always been an artist,” Morris said. “I went through school pretty quickly in the sense that I had my masters at age 25. I knew what I wanted to do.” She noted that she had always been a painter, but decided to work in abstract during graduate school. “Choosing painting felt fluid, it didn’t even feel like a decision … but I had been feeling that working representationally was not for me. It took graduate school to learn and think in the way that felt like it could be mine,” Morris said. The show will feature 10 of Morris’ large-scale paintings, five of them recently completed in … [Read more...] about University of Houston’s Blaffer Art Museum to exhibit Rebecca Morris paintings

Hello, and welcome to Family Folktales from the Nashville Public Library. I’m Susan Poulter, a Librarian at the Main Library. Today’s story is The Flying Trunk, a story by Hans Christian Andersen found in Andrew Lang’s Pink Fairy Book. There was once a merchant who was so rich that he could have paved the whole street with gold, and would even then have had enough for a small alley. But he did not do so; he knew the value of money better than to use it in this way. So clever was he, that every shilling he put out brought him a crown; and so he continued till he died. His son inherited his wealth, … [Read more...] about Nashville Public Library: The Flying Trunk

Early in the pandemic, word started to travel among Asian-American artists: racist attacks were on the rise. Jamie Chan told a fellow artist, Kenneth Tam , about getting kicked out of an Uber pool ride by the driver who noticed her sniffling. Anicka Yi , an artist based in New York, called Christine Y. Kim , a curator at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, to talk about being spit at on a Manhattan street; Kim, in turn, recounted being accosted in a Whole Foods parking lot. Tam decided to start recording these incidents in a Google spreadsheet he named “We Are Not COVID.” It circulated on social media first among arts communities, then to wider audiences. Over the last several months, the document has filled up with reports ranging from microaggressions to outright violence. “I had assumed that things like this were going to start happening, but not so quickly, and not to people I knew,” Tam said in a phone interview. “It made me realize that I needed to educate … [Read more...] about Asian-American Artists, Now Activists, Push Back Against Hate

This week, I frantically sent some friends the following message: “If you found MONTHS old expired cream cheese in your fridge, but it tasted and smelled normal, would you eat it? y/n.” (Spoiler: I ate it.) My cooking can, at times, be shortsighted. I’ll get jazzed to make a recipe with few plans for any of the leftover ingredients, leaving me with half-full containers that I inevitably forget about. But there’s one item in my fridge that can stand the test of time: my tub of shiro, or white, miso . Miso paste is fermented, and its high salt content protects it from mold. Depending on whom you ask, miso paste will last in the fridge for anywhere between six to 18 months. I’ve used some far older than that, and I’m still here to write this newsletter. But if you would like to avoid sending a panicked text asking if your miso is safe, here are a few ways to use it up. Soups : Recipes for soup often call for adding the miso near the end of cooking, off heat. To … [Read more...] about Three Ways to Finish a Tub of Miso
