Art League Houston (ALH) is proud to present A Good Cry, an exhibition by Albuquerque-based artist Sallie Scheufler. A Good Cry questions and scrutinizes the nature of crying behavior. The artist asks the viewer to consider the following questions: what affects my ability to control my body? Why is emotion often separated from the body? Can crying be a valid form of communication? Is crying an action or a reaction? Does crying equal weakness? Is crying performative? How much of crying is learned? Is crying always emotional? How can manipulating the experience of crying give me control over the act itself?
