I’ve written much about the Rice U. Art Gallery. But pictures = 1000 words, and video = duration x (pictures x 24 per second). The Rice U. Art Gallery Channel on YouTube has added new videos recently including the ones below. Also on YouTube, nice amateur videos of David Ellis’s 2006 show, “Conversation” and Kirsten Hassenfeld’s “Dans la Lune” from 2007. I particularly enjoy the time -lapse of the Henrique Oliveira and the “holy-crap-this-is-cool” narration on the David Ellis “green show” video.

Since the cat decided to kill our camera, I won’t be taking any pictures until we get a replacement. Fortunately, other people have better behaved pets. So here’s a link to great photos of the new Rice University Art Gallery show courtesy of Fiery Laundry.
The Next Show: Henrique Oliveira @ Rice University Art Gallery
The Henrique Oliveira show is what I’ve been assisting with for the last few weeks. The piece he created often had four assistants working, it was that large and involved.
The above invitation photo is just a small detail of the huge wall-mounted installation that Henrique created for the Rice Gallery. Their website has in-progress photos of the now-completed artwork.
Brazilian TV channel featured Henrique on their show Metrópolis (video), but unless you understand Portuguese just go the Rice Gallery’s page hosting the video with translation.
If you are in Houston, the Thursday evening opening and Friday lunch/lecture with artist are free and public. If you have the time, you can’t beat the price. And the art is pretty fantastic to boot.
And lastly, if you enjoy the show you’ll be in good company, Kanye West likes Henrique Oliveira.
