THIS MONTH’S

MUST-SEE EXHIBITS

1. Lydia Hance and Frame Dance Productions Presents: TUNNEL VISION | Downtown Tunnel System
Tucked underneath Houston’s downtown is a tunnel system that’s insulated and familiar, a rabbit hole for people to hide
and hurry. Throughout October and November, Lydia Hance and Frame Dance Productions are diving into these depths
to make people look up and see their surroundings in a new light.
TUNNEL VISION, a series of pop-up dance performances in Houston’s downtown tunnel system, will shake frames
of reference and perception to spark creativity and renew passion for those lost in the dark.

3. Kelly Moran “ONLY HUMAN” | D. M. Allison Gallery
Open through OCTOBER 17, Kelly Moran shows her fourth in a series of solo exhibitions at
d. m. allison gallery – and continues to make comment through comparison following her
exhibitions “Beg Borrow and Steal” in 2010, “American Dreamer” in 2012 and “New
Works” in 2014, with her latest offering “Only Human.” The artist offers an enjoyable
mixed bag of happy urban myth, late American culture POP, with a dash of Dada
whimsey to be sure, but at the same time, the work is so well-executed that one
wants to stop and seriously think it all over. Perusing her exploration of mixed
media collage in combinations of intaglio, digital printing and carved wood surfaces, Moran makes the complex planning- and process-oriented work look
inspired and of the moment. Her images are gleaned from the Internet junk heap,
vintage magazines and advertising. www.dma-art.com

4. DIGITAL EMBRACING | Serrano Gallery
Kelyne Reis will be unveiling her series “Digital Embracing” at Serrano Gallery, previously known as the Canal Street Gallery. “Digital Embracing” deals with constant metamorphoses and transformation by studying the relationship between
computer art and the use of the hand, microcosm and macrocosm, fragments and
unity (the whole), figuration and abstraction. Guests will enjoy 29 paintings filled
with vibrant colors, the introduction talk by PhD, professor and head of Art History
at the Glassell School of Art/MFAH, Anna Tahinci, and a book Reis published that
showcases the entire series. www.serranogallery.com & www.kelynereis.com
