Glasstire Podcast: Laura Burton on Leaving New York for Houston

In the latest episode of Glasstire's Art Dirt podcast, Brandon Zech interviews Laura Burton, the owner of Laura (the gallery) in Houston. Burton discusses her decision to leave New York and establish a gallery in Houston, the importance of art fairs for a young gallery, and her approach to curating the gallery's aesthetic. She highlights the gallery's distinctive floor, which bears layers of history from artists who have worked there, including paint spills and spray paint shadows. The episode is part of Glasstire's 25th anniversary series, themed 'Stewards of the Scene: Texas Galleries & Collectors.' The podcast is available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Laura (the gallery) has an ongoing exhibition program, and related readings include interviews with David Shelton, Carla Bisong, and others, as well as coverage of Untitled Art Houston.
