Support the independent voice of Houston and help keep the future of Houston Press free.
Houston artist Perry House, considered one of the city's early pioneers of abstraction, has a new exhibit at Nau-haus Art Space, "Happyville." House is described in press materials as an artist who "strips away decoration, narrative, sex, politics and even perspective, while at the same time evoking the passage of time, weight [and] depth..." "Happyville" may be more cheerful than some of House's previous work. The series includes brightly colored paintings of oddly shaped houses and street grids. One painting shows a yellow house with an inviting blue swimming pool surrounded by a patterned tile patio, all set against a red background. The house, although it seems to be complete at first glance, is actually lacking parts of a wall and fence. The missing pieces are floating in the pool or drifting away in the air. Noon to 5 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Through November 22. 223 East 11th Street. For information, visit www.nau-haus.com. Free.
Saturdays, Sundays, 12-5 p.m. Starts: Oct. 31. Continues through Nov. 22, 2009
Keep the Houston Press Free... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Houston with no paywalls.
