Sculpture Month Houston’s curated site-specific installations tie into the accumulation of ideas currently percolating throughout the art world in such events as Documenta and the Venice Biennale. SMH participates in this dialogue by providing artists with an opportunity to be challenged to create site-specific installations in unique architectural venues
Thank you to Volker Eisele, Antiartica Black, and Tommy Gregory and everyone who coordinated, installed, and volunteered to make Sculpture Month Houston and especially the exhibition of Peak Shift possible. Peak Shift opened on October 13, 2018 inside the old rice silos at SITE Gallery Houston. I am so thankful to the many people who were part of a Team Event Horizon as we installed three silos with four curved walls adding up to over 60 feet in length and approximately 15,000 reused, donated CDs and DVDs!

“Working at SITE is not for sissies, offering artists a dark honeycomb of round, former grain silos that soar more than 80 feet. “This is a very hostile space,” Eisele said. “But the best work has always been site-specific, where the artist wrestles with it.”
