X.R. Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 October 2020 is pretty far out, and a little disappointing to be honest. Its been fairly dry the last couple of months, so I thought they would be flying through that building. I assume that they are doing all of the landscaping and gardens for the museum too because there's no way just that building alone needs 1 year and a month to be completed. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The finishes on a building like this take a long time because they have to be perfect. That's why homes and apartments have textured walls and ceilings to cover up shoddy craftsmanship where as a building like this would not be okay with that. Plus I drove by last night and yeah I can totally see why I will be over a year to completion. The interior is still just exposed beams. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean the Museum...yeah its going to take a long time. One, its Steven Holl. Two, its a museum. Three, its going to be the crown jewel for this district. They can take as long as they need to get it right. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are absolutely right, this needs to be done right and will be one of Houston's signature buildings. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if they are just giving it to MFAH in October 2020, it will probably be a few more months before the museum is open. We're probably looking at 2021. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruss Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 It takes a while just to get the climate right inside to receive artwork and the installation process will probably take months. They're moving very valuable works of art so it won't be three brothers movers. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're probably looking at 2021. That is exactly what the worker told me, they turn it over but the museum has to do their part before it will open. I asked if he knew the opening date and was told, no. Why rush perfection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarklyMoron Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 According to the Chronicle story back in July, the opening will be “late 2020.” That should mean open to the public. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Rajnar Jartansson's The Visitor, is going away after this weekend and I highly recommend it if you like music and video. Its a beautifully presented work that you should take the time to see. If you do like music, the director of the Glassel school and well known sculptor Joseph Havel, along with sculptor Steve Murphy, and I, Tin Night, will be performing in the arts district this Friday night at the Patio at the Pit Room from 8:00-11:00.. I hope that some of you will come out and hear our unique sound, and get there early and enjoy some of the incredible barbecue. Hope to see some of you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarklyMoron Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 The British paper The Guardian just named Jartansson's The Visitor the best visual artwork of the 21st century. A bit silly, sure. But it is an amazing experience. Just give yourself enough time to really experience the ebbs and flows. https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2019/sep/17/the-best-visual-art-of-the-21st-century 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slcowart416 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Are these panels made of glass or plastic? I'm concerned that if they are plastic / resin type material, they will "yellow" over time and thus become ugly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
