A blend of the traditional and experimental, “Beyond the Print” presents the work of the University of Houston’s Block 2010 Program students. This medley of artists begins with a foundation in traditional photography – exploring large format prints, experimenting with 35mm and digital processes – and then departs from the norm, quickly moving into installation and electronic means of presentation.

The themes range from broad societal issues to more introspective thoughts. Taken together, “Beyond the Print” creates not a dialogue with the viewer, but a symposium. Each artist imparts a distinct tone to lens-based image making.

“Beyond the Print” introduces us to eight emerging artists: Michael Burgas, Brittney Connelly, Osman Galindo, Vanessa Godden, Daniela Hernandez, Fatmeh Hmaidan, Gisela Parker, and Thais Verissimo. The show is curated by Shannon Duncan with the assistance of Ned Dodington, and Geoff Smith. “Beyond the Print” is sponsored by C2 Creative and hosted by Caroline Collective.
