To an outsider, the A&M campus feels unattractive, humorless and a little silly. And yet: there really is a palpable, profoundly likeable sense of honor at the place.

The idea for the majority of the work comes from a relationship the artist has with another abandoned building: a magnificently damaged 1930s warehouse with its waves of dramatically buckled flooring.

This week: a show that shrinks itself, a show that freezes things, and couple of shows that give us that fuzzy TBT feeling.

By the early 2000s, the artist had become interested in new digital technologies and, making his own contribution to the field, began using a camera of his own invention.

Even in Bryan, TX, where everything is maroon—even here, it's here.

The cities and neighborhoods within these drawings seem to have sprung full grown from House’s larger-than-life cranium, like Athena from the head of Zeus.

I feel for anyone who wants to write for a living and won’t get to do so in an office with other editors and writers.
