In Half Time, Francesca Lally turns to the VAC’s neighbor, the Darrell K Royal Texas Memorial Stadium, and stadiums throughout Texas to weave together expansive material and speculative histories. These intertwined histories range from Piranesi’s eighteenth-century fantastical prints of the ruins of Roman stadiums to documentation of present-day stories and imagined futures for Texas’s landscapes and built environments. Through archival and field research, Lally moves across broad spatial and temporal scales to reflect on the game's social, political, and cultural imprint, stadium architecture, and the different experiences of spectatorship across Texas’s geographies and people.
