Convocation Reception: Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
Sunday, April 3, 8:00 - 10:30 PM.
Following on the heels of the Convocation Ceremony at Rice University,
we'll migrate to the campus of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Here
we'll gather in Cullinan Hall, the centerpiece of Mies van der Rohe's
late 50s addition to the Museum's original Neoclassical structure. It's
worth noting that this is one of only two museums designed by Mies in
the world.
As one might expect, this grand example of the International Style is an
ideal environment for the display of modern and contemporary art. On
view for the duration of the ARLIS conference and accessible during the
reception will be African Art Now: Masterpieces from the Jean Pigozzi
Collection
(http://www.mfah.org/main.asp?target=exhibition&par1=1&par2=1&par3=218),
which is a traveling exhibition co-organized by the MFAH. Recognized as
the finest collection of its kind in the world, this show features 33
artists from 15 countries and explores the diversity and range of
expressions by contemporary African artists.
Heavy hors d'oeuvres and a light bar (beer, wine, soft drinks) will be
provided.
Please join us for a memorable evening at the Museum of Fine Arts,
Houston.
