MUST-SEE EXHIBITS

1. The Fence | Houston Center for Photography
This 500-ft.-long outdoor temporary installation features works from 40–60 photographers whose work exemplifies the essence of “community” across cultural boundaries and geographical lines. The works were selected by a jury of 40+ photography professionals from around the globe. On view thru March 31, HCP partnered
with Photoville and Mid Main to bring The Fence to Houston for the very first time.
The Fence is an annual and was inaugurated in 2012 as a sister initiative to
Photoville in Brooklyn Bridge Park. In a mere 3 years, The Fence has expanded and
drawn an audience of more than 3 million visitors throughout all the different cities.

2. Nicola Parente | No Color Without Light | Gremillion & Co.
Nicola Parente’s new body of work, No Color Without Light, will be on
view until January 30. Parente’s latest works are subtly soothing and reminiscent of reflective landscapes. The color plays against grounds of luminous white, evoking emotive facets of life and the presence of light that
encompasses all. At its core, light is energy, a vitality that permeates the
latest expressions in a body of work that spans more than a decade.
Guests start their journey by moving through the space observing and taking in the work from every angle, as reflected light from metallic paint surfaces and negative white space makes the colors vibrant and alive.
Change is a source of creation; it happens on its own and your awareness allows you the gift of seeing, participating and experiencing the
work in a variety of contexts.
