Ran into FotoFest Exhibits Coordinator of FotoFest at the FotoFest exhibit at Rice University. She informs that many of the real prints for the main FotoFest Exhibit were delayed in customs and not at the exhibit. In their place were sometimes photo-copies. Will make a point to go back and see the exhibit to see if the real image effects my perception – I suspect it may, because I had not liked the print quality of many of the images.

By the way the exhibit at Rice University Media Center has some of the best images we’ve seen, go see the exhibit – its in the back and upstairs. There is a well developed “voice” and a consistency of execution and presentation that is pleasing. Tucked away in many of the images are dark symbols, so tough.

Lisa and I stopped by the Urban Eye exhibit at the Alliance de Francaise de Houston at 427 Lovett. This was a good exhibition, well crafted prints nicely executed presentations. There was some experimentation with alternative media, and well done. Compositionally strong the overall effect was a solid journeyman presentation. I had the opportunity to talk with several of the artists, especially about printing on canvas and saw an experimental streak. It will be interesting to see these “voices” develop. The show is well worth seeing.

Our stops last night ended with the O’Connor Studios. We enjoyed the candle lit exhibition and the video which was a little, John Lennon’s Imagine, meet documentary film, meet the Sunday morning infomercials raising money for starving children.
