One Way or Another: Asian American Art Now. At Blaffer Gallery, the Art Museum of the University of Houston. The title is drawn from the 1978 Blondie hit. The show features new paintings, sculptures, installations and video works by 17 emerging Asian-American artists born in the late 1960s and 1970s, including Michael Arcega, Xavier Cha, Patty Chang, Binh Danh, Mari Eastman, Ala Ebtekar, Chitra Ganesh, Glenn Kaino, Geraldine Lau, Jiha Moon, Laurel Nakadate, Kaz Oshiro, Anna Sew Hoy, Jean Shin, Indigo Som, Mika Tajima, and Saira Wasim. While the song/exhibit title is indicative of the visible influence of popular culture on these artists’ work, it also hints at the cultural duality informing each artist’s life and the degree to which this duality may or may not inform their practice.
