The New Art in Houston: Temporary and Permanent

Last week was one of art installation.

That’s not me up on the genie lift, I was part of the ground crew. The artist is Aurora Robson, the piece is called “Lift”, it looks gorgeous, and you can find it here.

Local arts blogger Robert Boyd found some pre-installation pix from NYC blog C-Monster.

Also, helped with installing some of the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft’s Iron: Forged, Tempered show. I’ll spare the adjectives, just go see it. Plan on enjoying the metal works, be pleasantly surprised by the other great exhibitions.

More pictures of Aurora Robson at Rice U. Art Gallery. Why?… because! That’s why.

There will be a new installation there opening on Nov. 6th. I’ll be posting pictures of that one, too.

An embedded slide show of installation and exhibition photos of Aurora Robson’s “The Great Indoors” at the Rice University Art Gallery. Seriously good stuff.

The Big Project: Aurora Robson at Rice University Gallery

Soon, there will be a post about the art installation duties that consumed me before, during and after the hurricane. Until then, the above model of Aurora Robson’s installation at Rice University Gallery will have to do until I can post photos of the real thing.

For those of you in Houston (or not) this installation is a real treat, and one worth taking some time to see.
