Now that I'm by myself," she says, "I'm not by myself which is good"
Curated by Rachel Cook
Sept. 11-Oct. 24, 2009
Opening Reception: Sept. 11, 6-8pm
DiverseWorks Main Gallery
Now That I'm by Myself… groups together works that speak to a creative self- reflexive act. Independent curator Rachel Cook brings together Brian Bress, Wynne Greenwood, Laurel Nakadate and Yuki Okumura, all of which take isolated private experiences from within studio, within the empty landscape, within the feeling behind the gut, within the fantasy of an alien inside your head, and bring them into the public realm through video, photography, sculptural cutouts, and even drawings. Beginning with the idea of how each artists decides to reveal or question the self in the work and how each artist pushes the boundaries of intimacy in their work; the show seeks to expand notions of the personal, the performative, the character, aloneness, and not-aloneness while providing insight into more universal truths and collective realities.

Paint-A-Thon & Xtreme Meander
Sept. 26, 2009
9am-1pm
Discovery Green
Fundraising made fun! Join DiverseWorks at Discovery Green for Paint-A-Thon & Xtreme Meander, a true test of creativity, endurance and strength for the light- hearted! Paint-A-Thon is a morning excursion for families and friends to create their own landscape and/or skyscape through paintings, sculptures and installations. Not only will teams take home (or back to the office) their own masterpiece, but a panel of distinguished individuals will be awarding prizes for the “winning” entries. The 1(ish) K: Xtreme Meander returns for a second year offering both Elite and Masters level competitors a demanding one-kilometer (or so) course in a test of strength and endurance. Runners are invited to choose their own route, interpret what that race means to them and entertain and replenish at the unusual hydration and energy stations. Both events are meant to be fun, offer attendees a chance to mix and mingle with Houston’s art community and raise money and awareness for DiverseWorks.
