Patrick Renner’s Window into Houston set to open at Magnolia; developer Petersen profiled

Patrick Renner’s Window Into Houston installation, the second at Blaffer’s new satellite space in the display windows of the historic Magnolia Ice House and brewery building, is set to open on June 29, and Downtown Houston profiles Jim Petersen, the engineer/developer/ art supporter who donated the space. After major structural renovation, says Petersen, the idea for the project grew out of talks with Blaffer Chief Curator Claudia Schmuckli, who was looking for a satellite space to house Blaffer’s activities during the renovation of it’s UH campus space.
