Join us for a night of local music and festivities benefiting Lone Star Explosion 2014! Tickets: $5-$7
The music acts selected represent some of the newest electronic and indie rock sound coming out of Houston. These bands are frequent supporters of our local art scene, often performing at gallery openings and live art events, strengthening bonds and mutual support between performance artists and musicians in Houston. We are very thankful and excited for this amazing night.
CAFFEINATED Local artists Evan McCarley and Scott Gregory bring the anarcho-pop punk feels.
Lone Star Explosion 2014 is Houston’s second international performance art biennale. It is taking place on February 19 – 23, 2014 in three of Houston’s venerated performance art venues: Box 13, The Art League and Notsuoh as well as online and in public space.
Lone Star Explosion 2014 seeks to showcase performance art that pushes the artist and audience in new ways. We shine a spotlight on performance art that questions fundamental assumptions about the way we experience time, space, relationships, the self, society, and sexuality. Visiting artists from around the world have been hand-picked for their insight and expansion on themes and practices currently explored by Houston performance artists. The unique, rebellious beauty of Houston’s own performance art will join with the brilliant expression of our visiting artists, creating an exchange of epic proportion. We intend for every participant to leave the festival full of new inspiration and greater possibility.
