Houston Architectural Trilogy: Photography of Valentin GertsmanChange your mind about construction cranes and traffic cones at this art exhibitBy Julia RameyPublished on April 30, 2008 at 1:40amIt is very difficult to see urban construction as anything less than an enormous pain in the ass, especially when youre stuck for 45 minutes on a six-lane highway that construction has winnowed into one chute. Either photographer Valentin Gertsman didnt drive for 22 years or he truly believes in the art implicit in his subjects: assorted construction projects in Houston, shot between 1985 and 2007. The latter would seem to be the case, as is evident in his latest book, Construction Site = Art, from which fine-art photographs will be on display at the Museum of Printing History. The exhibition, Houston Architectural Trilogy: Photography of Valentin Gertsman, will also feature images from his two other Houston-centric photo collections. Let Gertsman change your opinion of construction cranes and traffic cones. 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays. Through July 19. 1324 West Clay. For information, call 713-522-4652 or visit www.printingmuseum.org. Free.
