San Jacinto College South to host work of Peter Arcidiacono

HOUSTON – San Jacinto College South will host a reception for the installation of artist Peter Arcidiacono on Thursday, April 9 at 2 p.m.

The event is free and open to the public, and will be held in the Black Box Theatre located in the Marie Spence Flickinger Fine Arts Building on the South campus at 13735 Beamer Road in Houston. The artist will be present to take questions about his work at the April 9 opening reception, and will return to make a formal presentation on his work on April 22 at 6 p.m., in the same location.

Mr. Arcidiacono’s work consists of sculptural installations. A sculptural installation is a work of art that uses the space it is enclosed in as part of the work itself. Often, these works are interactive. One of Mr. Arcidiacono’s installationsentitled “Wilt” will be on display in the Black Box Theatre on the South campus from April 9 through May 14. “Wilt” is based on tree forms, and conceptually speaks to mankind’s new relationship with nature.
