April 30, 3:30-5:30PM

William Wegman comes to Houston as the second speaker in OFF ROAD, a series that invites Glasstire’s digital audience to log off their devices and experience an exchange of ideas with artists live and in-person. Beyond the boundaries of your average artist talk, OFF ROAD invites the great minds of our time to engage in conversations about their work and ideas. There are no rules, no limits, and no podiums.

OFF ROAD: William Wegman will be held at the Glasscock School of Continuing Studies on Saturday, April 30th at 3:30 pm with a complementary cocktail reception. Doors will open at 4:00 pm, followed by the lecture at 4:30 pm.

4. Mark Flood: Gratest Hits
Contemporary Arts Museum Houston
April 29 – August 7
Opening April 29, 6:30-9PM

“Never has an exhibition enjoyed so many moments of extreme visual beauty, cheek by jowl with crude humor and aggressive, roughly rendered texts to create a visual roller coaster ride. Gratest Hits presents the deep wisdom and humor of three decades of work while ultimately revealing the true achievement of an artist who has produced many highly praised works and had an active career despite remaining barely visible at the museum level.”
