Freeways are ubiquitous in cities like Los Angeles, Dallas, and especially Houston. The freeway’s monolithic pillars and sweeping curves have become as natural to these urban landscapes as mountains or rivers, and for the artists included in the group exhibition Drive, they are a site for aesthetic inspiration, dystopian antagonism, or more neutrally a platform or stage. Drive brings together an eclectic grouping of artists to explore how freeways and car culture shape human experience and perceptions of the city.
