In The Wake
This week communities around our country pause to remember the devastation, confusion, and bond created by the impact of Hurricane Katrina on the Gulf Coast. That bound is especially present between the communities of New Orleans and Houston; a bond that was strengthened when Hurricane Rita aimed for Houston a month after Katrina devastated New Orleans. Thousands of Gulf Coast residents have survival stories from wind, flood, and evacuations. Transplanted from New Orleans to Houston by Hurricane Katrina, Beth Murray invites us to the beautiful narrative of decay and age that her work explores in In The Wake.
Please join us for a reception on September 8, 2006 from 7-10 pm to remember, reflect and bring your own stories to this narrative. Be sure to bring your friends, you don't want to miss out on this exhibit.

Thanks for posting this, I think it's going to be a great exhibit and I hope you all can make it.
