FRESH ARTS SCENE
IT’S JULY, SO DECLARE YOUR INDEPENDENCE WITH THIS
MONTH’S FRESH ARTS SCENE

“ULTIMATE JUSTICE” BY STEPHEN
WILSON | Fresh Arts
Opening Reception, Friday,
July 17 | 7–9pm
Fresh Arts presents Houston-based artist Stephen
Wilson’s “Ultimate Justice,” a multimedia exhibition
showcasing a series of photographs, drawings,
notes, documents and videos based on the artist’s
experience working on the feature-length documentary “Killing Time.” The film delves deeply into the
experience of a family whose loved one, Elroy
Chester, was executed by the State of Texas the summer of 2013. Chester was diagnosed with a general
learning disability by all scientific measures. In 2002,
the U.S. Supreme Court barred the execution of mentally impaired persons, considering the punishment to
be cruel and unusual. However, the State of Texas
ruled that because Chester’s crimes demonstrated
forethought, strategy and criminal intent, execution
was fair punishment. The public is invited to a free
opening reception beginning at 6pm, on Friday, July
17, at Fresh Arts, 2101 Winter Street, Studio B11,
Houston, TX, 77007. Free parking is available.
