Open the Door @ FotoFest :
"Open the Door" to discover the world through photography
FotoFest has partnered up with the Texas French Alliance for the Arts to help bring the "Open the Door" project to our gallery space. FotoFest is just one of the 13 locations that will have a "door" that is a collaborated art piece by a different artist on each side of the door.
The door that will be installed in the FotoFest space will have a photo collage made by some of our LTP students from the Spring Branch Academy of choice. The "Open the Door" installation is meant to open the door to a multicultural platform of ideas and understanding, much like our current exhibition International Discoveries IV.
Come see the door and our current exhibition for free by contacting us at LTP2@fotofest.org or simply give us a call at 713-223-5522 x 12. We look forward to opening the doors to you and your students.

Et toujours à visiter : James Turrell “Twilight Epiphany” Skyspace à Rice University
Ouvert tous les jours, toute la journée. Illumination de 40 mn au lever et coucher du soleil
6100 Main Street, adjacent à Shepherd School of Music, Houston TX 77005

"Rice University revealed its newest on-campus art installation, James Turrell’s “Twilight Epiphany” Skyspace, in mid-June 2012. It is the 73rd in a series of structures by the American artist that have been built in over twenty countries world-wide. Despite their individual differences, all use light and space to alter the viewer’s perception of the sky.

Rice University’s “Twilight Epiphany” is a form of grass-covered pyramid whose sides gently ascend to a flat top that is covered by a 72 square foot roof. The latter is supported by only a few beams and, with a thickness of less than an inch, appears to be almost hovering.

The ceiling is illuminated by LED lights and acts as a frame to the square opening in the center that grants a view of the sky. The changing colors complement the natural light and allow for a reflective interaction with the natural world. Sound will also play a role when the space is used by Rice's Shepherd School of Music: hidden acoustic fixtures permit live and electronic music performances.

The structure next to the Alice Pratt Brown Hall is open all day but the 40-minute light shows are available only during sunrise and sunset; no music is used for the sunrise and sunset light shows. They are free and take place six days a week; however, reservations must be made. About 120 visitors can be seated on benches on two levels, the lower one being wheelchair-accessible."
