Reid Sutton and Brad Nagar's House
I like looking at other people's art collections. That's why the
Rice Design Alliance Living With Art tour would be so perfect for me. Two days, eight houses, lots of art. But alas, by the time I heard about it, it was full up. One of the houses to be toured is Reid Sutton and Brad Nagar's home, which was featured in an article in
the Houston Chronicle. The article is accompanied by a short slideshow of some of the houses. I can see
Rachel Hecker and
Aaron Parazette paintings in this photo from Sutton and Nagar's home. See how many pieces of art
you recognize. (By the way, if you are one of the lucky ones on the tour, we'd love to publish your annotated photos--or even just
see them.) [

Art spaces around the world 1: the Museu do Trabalho in Porto Alegre, Brazil. I stumbled across this space's Flickr page and it looks awesome. The Museu do Trabalho (literally, the "Museum of Work") was founded in 1982 to be a museum of labor. At first it was housed in the sheds below with the intention of moving into a refurbished factory. However, the factory never got refurbished so they stayed in the sheds. The space was too small for a full-on museum, so it has evolved over the years into an alternative art space. Which would not be all that exciting if the art weren't really interesting--which it is. Looks like I will have to save up for a Brazilian vacation... [
