In a career that has spanned more than three decades, artist Steven Evans has explored connections between music, language, memory, identity, and collectivity. Contemporary Arts Museum Houston (CAMH) is pleased to present “Steven Evans: If I can’t dance, it’s not my revolution!” featuring two distinct bodies of work Evans has created—in colored neon, and in paint and adhesive vinyl—that highlight the ways in which popular song titles can be linked to moments of social and political change. Both of these series highlight Evans’s ongoing commitment to language and cultural activism.
