Sawyer Yards presents "Dry Place," a new group exhibition in SITE Gallery at Sawyer Yards. Curated and organized by artist and MFAH Core Fellow Saúl Hernández-Vargas, this exhibition delves into the old rice silos as an empty and dry space, where the promise of the future has changed.

In his Poliorcetica, dating back to the 3rd Century BCE, the engineer Philo of Byzantium depicted Greek silos as subterranean, dry, and certainly dark spaces utilized for storing grains and seeds, serving as bastions of life and prospects for the future. Food, health, well-being. However, diverging from Philo's original conception, in today's world, silos predominantly serve as dry storage facilities for bombs and missiles.

"Dry Place" - a collective show that brings together Marina Azahua, Tanya Brodsky, Larí garcía, Saúl Hernández-Vargas, Yifan Jiang, and Umico Niwa - explores the silos of the city of Houston, slowing down, paying attention to the specters, and, of course, the silent absence of local workers and the ghostly clattering of grains against metal structures permeating the atmosphere.

This exhibition will be on view through July 6.
