Wednesday Night Photo Post: "Big Alex" by David Adickes


“Big Alex” by David Adickes, originally uploaded by Mr. Kimberly.
 

While hoping to visit the Texas Junk Company (closed until Sept 6th or 7th, can’t remember) I saw this on the corner of Mason and Hyde Park Blvd. Picture Plus is hosting this David Adickes sculpture.

Loving that every street in Houston is viewable on Google Maps street view. That’s how I confirmed the exact location, with a view of the building before the addition of phone and business sign.

Why I don’t have to remember a thing now that Google does it for me.

The missus pointed this out while flipping channels. She noted, “At least they spelled ‘swastikas’ correctly.”

Neighbors: Glenbrook Valley – Houston, TX

There was an open house for some pretty sweet mod-style homes in the Glenbrook Valley. While driving, got to see how some of the neighbors express themselves.

My First Father's Day

First, I got a card. I walked in to find her this way, and patient girl, she held the pose for a picture. What a sweet girl! Her mom rocks, too.

Wednesday NIght Photo Post: Rice University Gallery


Mark Fox “Dust” Installation, Rice U. Gallery, originally uploaded by Mr. Kimberly.

Mark Fox “Dust” Installation, Rice U. Gallery, originally uploaded by Mr. Kimberly.

Last few days have been spent working at Rice U.’s art gallery. Ever since seeing the Kirsten Hassenfeld show (pictures here,) I had hopes of working the gallery space. And so I have on a few recent occasions.

The latest show is the gallery’s summer show. While the venue is closed, an installation is chosen that can be viewed through the glass front of the exhibition space. This summer, artist Mark Fox was invited to show his installation piece “Dust”. A visual catalog of almost his material possessions, the show is a massive collection of drawn items pinned to the wall. An expansive beauty of a show, and I got to work alongside the artist.

Rice does no favors for the art-loving public wishing to visit, as paid parking is the only option. That being said this a show that will be up for the summer months and well worth the couple of bucks that will be charged (on debit or credit card.)
