House of Cards at Discovery Green
Summer/Fall 2020
House of Cards, presented by Bracewell.
My work will be featured in House of Cards presented by Bracewell later this year (the work was postponed due to COVID-19). The work is a public-art installation by Israel-based design studio OGE Group consisting of 126 oversized playing cards, each of which features a unique piece of artwork.
During the day, the cards’ crisp white lines and colorful images will dazzle. At night, the structure will be animated to create the illusion of the house of cards rising, collapsing and being rebuilt.
The artists of OGE Group and the Discovery Green Conservancy see the House of Cards installation as a visual metaphor for how vital each piece of the community is for its overall strength and structure. Covid-19 has been a real-world example of just how interconnected we are and we’ve discovered we truly are stronger together.
Twenty Houston artists were selected to have their designs included to represent the city as the installation continues to tour the world.
