The Empty Spaces Project is a group of Houston-based artists who have collaborated to create Stories from an Empty Place, an interactive installation of art, photography, writing, storytelling and film. The Empty Spaces Project includes fifty 4th grade students from John J. Herrera Elementary School, who are currently in the process of photographing and documenting their neighborhoods and their lives. Stories from an Empty Place will be a one-night event to present and expand this collaboration. All are welcome to participate.

Covering Ground is our response to the urban landscape. We are planting flower gardens in vacant lots and unused space throughout the city, in a sense, broadcasting environmental graffiti. Although this project is necessarily ongoing, we will present our accumulated experience in this pubic exhibition.

Artist Collaborators: Joel Hughes, Emily Sloan & Eric Todd.

Collective Playground is a multi-media installation that explores childhood memory as fable through the juxtaposition of organic and inorganic materials; the shared experiences of the artists and the metaphors of the collective life cycle – death, rebirth, metamorphosis — are designed to provoke the viewer to confront the distortion of their own memories through time, subjective perspectives, and emotional attachments.
Artist Collaborators: Noora Alsalman, Norberto Gomez Jr. & Stacey Higdon.
Faculty Advisor: Michael Remson |
