SUMMARY:Gail Peter Borden's Shallow Spaces Happy Hour Meet & Greet
DESCRIPTION:Join AIA Houston for a Happy Hour Meet & Greet with artist\, architect\, and educator Gail Peter Borden\, FAIA\, celebrating his gallery exhibition\, Shallow Spaces\, on Tuesday\, February 3\, from 5:30 to 7:30 PM at Hooks-Epstein Galleries. \nPresented in partnership with Hooks-Epstein Galleries\, Shallow Spaces examines how art is experienced through material\, space\, perception\, and presence. Through pared-down geometry\, prismatic form\, and deliberate color relationships\, Borden’s work explores how parts cohere into a whole and how form is perceived across place and time. Reduction operates as a strategy for clarity\, inviting close attention to proportion\, subtle movement\, and the shifting effects of light reflected across each surface. The works engage the viewer through quiet interaction\, creating a dialogue between the visual\, spatial\, and experiential. \nGuests are invited to meet Gail Peter Borden\, learn more about his multidisciplinary practice\, and experience the exhibition in conversation with fellow architects\, designers\, and members of Houston’s creative community. \nLight bites and drinks will be provided. \nGail Peter Borden\, FAIA\, is Director of Graduate Programs and a tenured Professor at the Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture and Design at the University of Houston and principal of Borden Partnership. His work has received numerous national honors\, including the Architectural League Prize\, the AIA Young Architect Award\, BD+C’s 40 Under 40\, and multiple AIA\, ASA\, and RADA awards. He has also been awarded artist-in-residence fellowships from the Chinati Foundation\, Atlantic Center for the Arts\, the Borchard Fellowship\, and the MacDowell Colony\, and is the author of several influential books on materiality. \nThis event is open to the public and offers a unique opportunity to engage directly with the ideas and work behind Shallow Spaces in an informal\, social setting.
