WHERE: The Modern’s Parking Lot, 3200 Darnell Street

In conjunction with the exhibition Rebecca Manson: Barbecue, which considers the inevitable change of season and rites of renewal, the Modern’s education department hosts sculpture and new media faculty from across Texas for TAILGATE, a one-day-only exhibition presented in the Modern’s parking lot.

Building on the collegiate game-day tradition, TAILGATE explores themes of improvisational adaptability, overlapping fandoms, mobile culinary rituals, community, and the hum of a pre- and post-event situation, welcoming the potential for disruption and play in works installed just outside the Museum’s walls.
