GRIDLOCK

GRIDLOCK is a show about traffic, densification, politics, labor, the landscape, urban planning and infrastructure, and the complexity and nuance of life in our ever-changing city. The largest infrastructural work of our civilization could be our roads, literal lines superimposed onto the landscape. Within the context of Houston's constant construction and increasing auto traffic, the term "gridlock" quickly brings to mind a visual of stopped, bumper-to-bumper cars. However, it is also used metaphorically to describe a sort of paralysis between people; a stalemate.
