4. Autumn Knight & Robert Pruitt: The Chromatic Saturation Social Club
BOX 13 ArtSpace (Houston)
Ed. note: 11AM on 5-26-16: BOX 13 has just informed us that this show has been postponed until further notice.

“This Social Club is re-imaging art action as relatable common experiences by using “after hours” and “art spaces” as under-utilized time/space material. The Social Club will stage a series of club meetings and events between the hours of 11PM – 3AM, a critically territorial time used by beds and bars. The intent is to practice and generate a commitment to alternative social models that address the actual needs of people.”
