Went to several FotoFest exhibitions again last night.
Went to 4 general areas last night. West U/Rice, The Heights, deSantos Gallery and HCP.
Picnic, in the West U, had some nice telescopic snapshots of flowers and dragonflies and other insects. There were a couple of scenic pieces printed on canvas. For my $0.02 the photographer has potential but needs to work with the tools and develop a voice. There is potential in the landscapes on canvas. The Raven Grill, well, Lisa and I enjoy the food there and the menu is as always, first rate,
In the Heights the collection of exhibitions in the 200-300 block of west 11th street is worth the trip, TCA, TCA(2), G Gallery, & Redbud Gallery. The Imprint Phenomena exhibition was highly political. The technical execution was well done, the images built with a fine craftsmanship and sensitivity to the human condition. The images aren’t livable, at least for me, but worthy. Other exhibitions focused on the artistic side of things, some more successful than others. Here are developed eyes and voices, with varying degrees of livability. Technical execution and presentations nice, and in some cases somewhat novel or at least out of the mainstream.
We went to several other of the Height’s galleries, the white and black trees at H Gallery were well done, but shrug………. It was less stimulating at the rest of the openings in the area.
deSantos had classic black and white images, compositionally intriguing. They have a uniform murkiness in the prints that neither Lisa or I found helpful to the enjoyment of the images. The gallery as always was in great form and they usually have interesting things.
HCP had undergone a quick change from Thursday’s show, masterfully done to its new premiere show, Habitat 7. Unfortunately, the diversity promised by the write up on the wall both Lisa and I missed in the images. Beautifully done technically and presented nicely, not for my walls and disappointing in their lack of diversity, so not even for my bookshelf. The Mined in China exhibit, yet another effective eco-friendly, dignity of worker presentation. The high quality snapshots from the Houston Chinese Photographic Society were fun to see.
