<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Published in conjunction with an exhibition held at the Menil Collection in Houston from 26 September 2020-20 June 2021.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A beautiful presentation of a new suite of works made for the Menil Collection by Allora & Calzadilla </b> <p/> The Puerto Rico-based collaborative duo Allora & Calzadilla created <i>Specters of Noon</i> as a group of seven large-scale works specifically for the Menil Collection. The ensemble is orchestrated around the idea of solar noon, a notion derived from Surrealist texts by Caillois, Césaire, and others that probe the transcultural mythology of noon--a time when shadows vanish and delirious visions momentarily reign. The works include light projections, guano, ship engines, live vocal performance, and coal. Using the Menil's Surrealist holdings as a point of departure, <i>Specters of Noon</i> is infused throughout with a Caribbean perspective that addresses the instability of environmental and colonial politics; one work is a power transformer damaged in Hurricane Maria that is half-sheathed in bronze. Filled with stunning installation photography and insightful texts both commissioned and reprinted, this volume captures the spirit of Jennifer Allora (b. 1974) and Guillermo Calzadilla's (b. 1971) deeply researched and multifaceted work.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Michelle White </b>is senior curator at the Menil Collection, Houston. <b>Roberto Tejada </b>is the Hugh Roy and Lillie Cranz Cullen Distinguished Professor at the University of Houston. <br>
