LSC-Kingwood gallery welcomes guest artist March 2

Artist Nathaniel Donnett will be at LSC-Kingwood Gallery at noon on Wednesday, March 2, to give an artist talk and showcase his work to students and the community.

Donnett uses ordinary paper, plastic bags and found objects to evoke cultural cliches and conversations about class systems and standards of beauty.

Donnett, who lives in Houston, studied at Texas Southern University (TSU). He has exhibited in the Armory Show in New York, Exit Art New York, Art Miami, Lawndale Art Center, the National Museum in Lima, the Modern Museum of Peru, Project Row Houses and TSU's Museum as well as participated in a musical performance piece at the Wortham Theater.

His art is on display at the gallery through March 24, along with sculptures by artist Robert Jackson Harrison.

Robert Jackson Harrington's disciplined and minimalistic sculptures, composed of ordinary materials such as cables and clamps, crackle with color, potential power and implied usefulness. Harrison will give artist talks on March 7 at 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. in SFA 125/126.

Students at Lone Star College-Kingwood will have the opportunity to study the works of these two prominent artists through March 24. The show is open to the community, and all pieces will be for sale.

The SFA Art Gallery hours are Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. All gallery events are free and open to the public.
