No doubt you've heard of the Turrell Skyspace on the Rice University Campus. It has captured the hearts and minds of thousands of Houstonians at dawn and sunset showing us a new way to watch the sun's transformation.

There is a new instilation coming from this amazing light master to the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. The exhibition is called James Turrell: The Light Inside.

James Turrell: The Light Inside explores the remarkable career of James Turrell (b. 1943), a pioneer in the Light and Space movement that transformed the landscape of American Art.  Open to the public June 9 through September 22, 2013, this monumental presentation fills the Museum’s 22,000-square-foot Brown Pavilion and features seven of Turrell's immersive light environments, ranging from his first projections of the late 1960s to his most recent Tall Glass series of 2010–13. Also on view are three major print portfolios and documentation of the evolution of Roden Crater, Turrell's life work in the Arizona desert. Drawn from the Museum's unparalleled collection, the exhibition takes its title from The Light Inside, commissioned by the Museum in 1999 as a permanent installation for The Wilson Tunnel. James Turrell: The Light Inside is part of a nationwide celebration of Turrell’s work and was conceived in conjunction with simultaneous exhibitions mounted over the summer of 2013 at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.

This exhibition is organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, in conjunction with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, New York.

The exhibition is dedicated to the memory of Isabel B. Wilson, Chairman Emeritus of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

CESAR GALINDO will be showing his FALL 2010 collection, Tuesday, February 16th at 9PM in affiliation with Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at THE BOX at 189 Chrystie Street, between Stanton & Rivington.  Sponsors: REDKEN 5^th Avenue NYC. 

For FALL 2010 Galindo rocks it! His muse and inspiration- the one and only die-hard, sexy, stylish, icon rocker- MS. JOAN JETT.  Galindo is her officially commissioned designer regarding her appearances at the SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL. 

Galindo states, “this is an honor for me, I remember dancing to Jett’s music in my high school cafeteria and rocking out!  Today that rock n’ roll spirit is alive and well as I hone in on her aura and iconic rebel message, which is reflected, in my designs. For me, Joan Jett has always been true to herself; she is the ultimate, radical and uncompromising female rocker.  Her style, persona, music and lyrics emanate from the core- very grassroots.  It is the same message I have always applied as a fashion designer- to stay true to yourself, allow to be stimulated and apply the fire inside you.”

Galindo’s runway looks will be a juxtaposition of head-turning fashion with style, color and details. A ROCK and ROLL fantasy, rebel nights, classic Goth- THEATER!  He will deliver double-faced sequin gowns, party tanks, CATSUITS his drive and statement of this fashion season. Some in solids, with textures, sequined and animal prints. Corseted jackets with knit details, tailored sequined pants, circle coats and multiple cover-ups in varying fabrics.  Textures with matte and shine, colors- red, silver, gold, purple, turquoise, and his signature vibrant and classic Fuchsia.

Galindo is a big supporter of Houston, Texas- his hometown, its creative communities and designers. For this season he pairs up with Angelica Ximenes Chapman designs, her jewelry will reflect color, clarity, precision, bold and simple designs from rings, to earrings, to chokers, pendants and necklaces.

For FALL 2010 it’s only ROCK n’ ROLL!  For Cesar will captivate us and turn out a show at a venue whose unsuspecting door in a sketchy Lower East Side alleyway will take you back to the 1930’s with the realness of 2010.  If you have never been to a Galindo show then do and get there early if you have an INVITE and as always expect a packed house, good people and a night charged with ROCK-HARD surprises!
