In the sixth round of commissions for the Tent Series, the Moody extends its engagement with Houston-based artists by inviting Tay Butler, Loc Huynh, and Virginia L. Montgomery (VLM) to create large-scale temporary artworks that will foster conversation throughout the 2026 academic year. Featured on Provisional Campus Facilities (PCF) Tents, located on the south side of campus, across Loop Road from Herring Hall, these three works offer poignant expressions of creativity, innovation, and connection.

Off the Wall: Yifan Jiang | Moody Center for The Arts
Yifan Jiang is a Chinese Canadian artist based in New York whose project-driven practice encompasses painting, sculpture, animation, and performance. As a diasporic artist, Jiang’s work examines shared similarities and differences across cultures and belief systems. Her work invokes magical realism—a literary and artistic genre that blends reality with fantasy—to create everyday scenes interlaced with references to philosophy, history, and science. Jiang’s uncanny subject matter points to the limits of language in expressing fragments of our imagination.
