The Big Show

The Big Show is Lawndale Art Center’s annual open-call, juried exhibition. It has been an important venue through which emerging and under-represented Houston area artists gain exposure since the show’s conception in 1984. The Big Show was formerly the East End Show, sponsored by the East End Progress Association, at Lawndale’s original location.

Those Who Fell through the Cracks
Noor | Stanley Greene & Kadir van Lohuizen
A Mobile Photography Exhibition
Hurricane Katrina Survivors Five Years After the Storm

August 21, 2010
12:30–1:30 PM Meet the artists

2:00–4:30 PM Afternoon Symposium

Those Who Fell Through the Cracks is a traveling mobile exhibition of large-scale mural photographs by Stanley Greene and Kadir van Lohuizen showing Hurricane Katrina’s aftermath over the last five years. It is a powerful visual document of Katrina’s effects on Gulf Coast residents and the struggles they face to this day in re-establishing their lives. The photographs cover the interior and exterior of a highly innovative 24’ itinerant truck as it debuts in Houston and travels to New Orleans in September 2010 during Katrina's fifth anniversary. Those Who Fell Through the Cracks is an interactive documentation of the United States in the beginning of the 21st century, and a testament to the power of images to bring new awareness and sensitivity to communities, and foment systemic change.
