‘Tis the season at HCP! Join us for December’s Capture Crawl at Avenida Houston.
Avenida Houston, Discovery Green and
the Hilton Americas-Houston
from 5 – 6pm
Sunday, December 16, 2018
Experience the magic of the season while getting some shareable shots at our December Crawl! Avenida Houston, the newest place to sip, stroll and savor in downtown Houston, has something for everyone this holiday. Crawl along with artist and independent curator Laura Napier from Discovery Green’s ice-skating rink to the Hilton Americas, where they have decked their hall with an amazing 2.5 Ton Gingerbread House along with a Christmas tree spectacular waiting in the lobby!
While you are there, stick around to experience Downtown’s new eye captivating art installation LOOP in front of the George R. Brown Convention Center, and other interactive art installations in the park. Coming all the way from Canada, LOOP is a cross between a music box, a zoetrope and a railway handcar. The retro-futuristic machine, more than two meters in diameter, creates animated fairy-tale loops.
You are welcome to bring your tripods or monopods! With this low-light adventure, keeping a stable camera will ensure you get those wonderful holiday photos!
For more information, visit the Avenida Houston website.
Note: Free 2-hour parking with validation from any of the 5 restaurants on Avenida de las Americas

A final update email will be sent later that afternoon to those who have RSVP’d.

Rebecca French Choreography Performance: Dancing a Tetrapod
2018-12-11 19:00 - 20:00 | Houston Center for Photography
Houston Center for Photography is pleased to present Dancing a Tetrapod, created by award-winning queer dance choreographer, Rebecca French. In response to Fumi Ishino’s exhibition, Rowing a Tetrapod, dancers will combine elements of traditional Japanese Butoh dance with American dance aesthetics in order to echo Ishino’s staccato shifts and disorienting imagery about moving between cultures. The dancers aim to simultaneously disperse and unite the audience in unfamiliarity, physically guiding viewers with their movements within the gallery space. The distinct style in which the dancers perform is further enhanced with elaborate costume design and the use of electronic and orchestral sounds. The accompanying music, ambient yet tonal with a perceptible rhythm at times, will propel and accentuate the dancer’s movement.

Lecture and Book Signing: Matthew Genitempo’s Jasper
2018-12-06 18:30 - 19:30 | Houston Center for Photography
Thursday, December 6th 6:30pm – 7:30pm
Houston Center for Photography is pleased to present a lecture and book signing with Marfa-based photographer, Matthew Genitempo, discussing his recent body of work, Jasper. A recent finalist for The Paris Photo-Aperture Foundation PhotoBook Award’s First PhotoBook Prize, Jasper presents the otherworldly environment of a semi-fictional place located deep in the woods of the Ozarks. The imagery fluctuates between detailed depictions of the men inhabiting Jasper in total solitude and the hazy, romanticized landscape in which they live. Teetering the line between fact and fiction, Genitempo’s Jasper further investigates his own intrigue and fascination about escaping the everyday, revealing the reality and myths of what it means to be truly independent from society.
This discussion is part of Houston Center for Photography’s ongoing series, Words & Pictures, a lecture and conversation series between photographers, writers, and thinkers of the medium.
Matthew Genitempo is an American photographer and book publisher currently living and making work in Marfa, Texas. He received his MFA in photography from the University of Hartford. Matthew was recently selected as one of PDN’s 30 Emerging Photographers and received the LensCulture Emerging Photographer Award. Jasper was published by Twin Palms in September 2018.
