Robert Boyd with Dean Liscum
Another busy week in the world of Houston art. It would be pretty much impossible to hit every art-related event, but here are a few we like the looks of.

Cargo Space versus the Kraken
CORRECTION: The workshop is from 2 pm to 6pm, Thursday.Printmaking workshop with Oscar Rene Cornejo at the Art League, 8 pm as part of the exhibit Bringing It All Back Home. Dean recommends this one "for those who want to learn with their art..."
The Art Guys will be featured on Houston PBS Channel 8 Arts Insight, 7 pm. I recommend this one for those who have nothing better to do than watch TV and have a couple of brews. (Don't worry if you miss it tonight--it repeats Friday at 9:30 am and Sunday at 2:30 pm)

I wish I had a photo of Devotion. But here is a photo of Call to Color by Ballet Austin designed by Trenton Doyle Hancock. Imagine colored balloons coming from their behinds.
Devotion by Trenton Doyle Hancock at the CAMH, 6 pm. I'm just going to let CAMH describe this one: "Join us for a performance of Devotion. Sleep-deprived artist Trenton Doyle Hancock snoozes atop a wooden structure, covered in a colorful, fur-striped sheet. Upon awaking to the sound of an alarm clock, Hancock is fed huge bowls of various colors of Jell-O. And, in an amusing twist on the logic of consumption, he expels colorful balloons out of the rear of the structure." Dude.
FRIDAY

Phillip Pyle II: Caroline Plantation at the Houston Museum of African American Culture, 6 pm. This sounds like a must-see--Pyle has recreated the the Wavering Place Plantation of South Carolina out of 7000 Legos.

A cobra-hydra-horsey by Joshua Goode
Origin of Myth by Joshua Goode at the Darke Gallery, 6pm. Goode seems to have created a variety of chimeras for a mythical natural history museum. Shades of the Museum of Jurassic Technology!
SATURDAY

Ricardo Ruiz, El Mero Chingon, Oil on Board, 10" x 10"
Love Songs For The Palomia by Ricardo Ruiz at Redbud Gallery, 6 pm. Without knowing anything else about this exhibit, the image above makes me eager to see it.
SUNDAY
I think there's something on TV today. Have a couple of brews.
