Arcade by The Color Condition Celebration: "#ColorTheAve"

Discovery Green and Houston First invite you to celebrate the installation of Arcade — a series of dynamic streamer sculptures by noted Texas-based artist duo Sunny Sliger and Marianne Newsom of The Color Condition — at "#ColorTheAve."

This free event includes a site-specific dance performance by Karen Stokes Dance Company, live music, a wearable art workshop and more. The fete will conclude with a spectacular aerial performance off the George R. Brown by VauLt Houston.

The Color Condition considers the idea of “play” throughout Arcade, which consists of three separate installations that create a dialogue between sections of the Avenida Houston campus. The works — made from strips of table cloths, shower curtains and painters drop cloth — respond to the environment, creating new colors as the light changes and new patterns with each gust of wind. Arcade is the artists’ Houston debut and their largest commission since The Color Condition was established in 2010.

Arcade is curated by Christine West, Cultural Programs Manager for Houston First, with the Weingarten Art Group and the Conservancy’s Public Art Committee, chaired by Judy Nyquist and comprised of community experts dedicated to bringing original, inspiring art to Discovery Green.
