'The Specter of Nature' at Spacetaker's ARC Gallery



Well it looks like I'll be having an exhibition in January at Spacetaker's ARC Gallery. I'm excited to present my images to a Houston-based audience. I haven't seen the space yet, but I look forward to viewing it and re-arranging the work to consist of something a little different than my thesis show, perhaps to include some 'sketches' of imagery before the development of my final work.

A little bit about Spacetaker:
Spacetaker is a 501(c)3 professional organization and Artist Resource Center located in Houston’s First Ward whose mission is to provide artists and non-profits access to economic development, continuing education, and networking opportunities to support their professional growth.


If you're an artist or business, you can build a profile on Spacetaker.org for free and may upgrade your membership to include additional perks such as multiple portfolios, artist opportunities, etc.. and it's for a good cause. Keeping the arts alive in Texas.

The show info. is still tentative:
Exhibition to run from January 1-29.
Reception on January 8, 2011 from 5-7pm.

ARC Gallery:
Location: Studio B11 of Winter Street Studios, 2101 Winter Street, Houston, TX 77007
Gallery Hours: Wed - Fri from 11am - 6pm or by appointment. Call 713.868.1839


I'll definitely keep you updated on changes.

David Sullivan at Lawndale


image from David Sullivan's site


I visited Lawndale Art Center this weekend and one artist that caught my eye was David Sullivan. Sullivan's Fugitive Emissions installation includes three looping videos that explore the relationship between biological matter and the petro-chemical process. The imagery, constantly shifting in focus and forms, offers a visual approach that reflects the amalgamation of chemical sciences with living biology. The animations, created while Sullivan was at A Studio in the Woods, enter an already expansive discourse exploring the post-modern reality of the seen and unseen; questioning how, as a culture, progress and its impact on our very lifestyle can so easily depend on abominations of nature. Fugitive Emissions highlights the complex but not unfamiliar issues surrounding human intervention, through the framework of science, with our natural environment.
