I went to Houston this past weekend and saw the “Color into Light” show at the MFAH. There was some pretty amazing work but the highlight was the installation “Cromosaturacion” (the above image is from a different version in another location). Glade and I at first thought that there was a fog machine in there but no, the light transformed the space so completely that it just seemed like we were walking through a dreamscape. And this was from the mid sixties! Truly a surreal experience.

But beyond that, I recommend the whole show highly. A nice multigenerational, multicultural spectrum of highly aestheticized yet still conceptual work, including some interesting Latin American artists that I had never heard of before, two early 70s Frank Stella paintings, and interactive pieces built in processing/JavaScript/C++. Check it out y’all.
