Glasstire // 09.26.19: Marta Chilindrón, the New York-based Uruguayan artist, will unveil Mobius Houston, a new acrylic sculpture based on her smaller 2013 Mobius series and her first large-scale public art project in the state. Mobius Houston was engineered and is being assembled in Houston, and the official grand opening for the sculpture on University of Houston’s campus is Friday, Oct. 11.
Mobius Houston was commissioned as the inaugural piece by Public Art of the University of Houston System (Public Art UHS) for its temporary public art installation program at Wilhelmina’s Grove, a site on the campus of UH. The university is the first public university system in Texas to launch a formal temporary public art program, and Mobius will remain on view at UH for six months after installation.
