BADG LAB
BALANCE
TEXAS CONtEMPORARY
Balance brings together fine art, ceramics, and furniture.
In October 2019, BADG artists created a show for Texas Contemporary—Houston’s leading modern and contemporary fine art and design fair. Balance, curated by Leyden Lewis, combined paintings, charcoal drawings, ceramic vessels, and handcrafted furniture.
One of the things we were trying to achieve was a tableau, an environment where these pieces belong together. It feels as if you’re in the corner of somebody’s home or their office.

It’s really the balance between different crafts, and how they work and are interrelated to one another.
