Connect the dots between ethnic newspapers reduced to blocks of color, tourist photos taken from the Internet and re-formed into tiny 3-D scenes, and ordinary rocks impersonating pieces of the Berlin Wall during todayยs Perspectives Talk with Cindi Stauss, curator of modern and contemporary decorative art and design for the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Sheยll walk visitors through the exhibit ยPerspectives 164: Stephanie Syjuco: Total Fabrications,ย discussing how Syjucoยs creations of fakes, imitations and forgeries reflect our invented narratives about everything around us, including cultural authenticity. 6:30 p.m. Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, 5216 Montrose.
