About

Slab is an exhibition method enacted by Los Angles-based artist Wendy Mason and Houston-based curator Nancy Zastudil. We operate on a project-by-project basis and function as a literal and metaphorical platform for artists' works, including solo, group and collaborative projects. Our exhibition concept finds potential in experimental locations.

Slab can be found in backyards, commercial, industrial and unexpected locations between Los Angeles and Houston. Such varied locations propose unusual interplay when spatial and relational challenges arise for the artists, viewers, and us. Not only can Slab function as an independent exhibition space, we also seek to engage in a symbiotic relationship with our surroundings.

Slab stems from Mule, an exhibition project that we created while living in Chicago, Illinois. Recently we decided to reimagine the original concept of Mule and have once again joined together to consider the transitory roles of artists and curators. Our aim is to collaboratively facilitate artist's projects and events, exploring the fun and experimental nature of creative activity.
