Art League Houston presents an exhibition of new work by 2022 Houston Artadia Awardee Ian Gerson, whose multidisciplinary practice incorporates sculpture, installation, and community engagement. Titled "Tremble," this exhibition investigates climate injustices, trans consciousness, and queer longing.

Gerson weaves flimsy tapestries with ropes culled from Galveston Bay and the Houston Ship Channel, mylar, personal and hand-dyed clothing scraps, and dried plants as a way of centering the refused, the invisible, the marginal. The weavings are architectural, freestanding and leaning, taking on bodily references and transforming over time.

"Tremble" features a body of work that utilizes text, intentionally challenging and refusing easy legibility, depending on the vantage point, viewer, and context. Stemming from personal encounters navigating (un)natural disasters, mental health, and transitioning, Gerson’s work asks how a trans experience, embodying adaptability and resilience, can be looked to as a model for surviving climate crises and social precarity.

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display until July 22.
