Blanc on the Green

I’m beyond ecstatic to announce my work has been chosen to be a part of Discovery Green’s spring installation, House of Cards!

The Discovery Green Conservancy, invite guests to dress in white for a casually elegant evening of art, music, strolling performances, photo opportunities, desserts and the official lighting of the park’s spring public art installation: House of Cards.
Blanc on the Green, aimed at the city’s art-loving crowd, will be a visually, spectacular event to celebrate the park’s vibrant public art program and role as the heart and soul of downtown Houston. Revelers dressed in their white attire will be stunning against the park’s natural backdrop. They will enjoy samples of bitesize desserts, photo opportunities with roaming performers, recycled-material fashions, a DJ, magicians, and more.
The event will also give the crowd the first look at House of Cards, a public-art piece by Israel-based design studio OGE Group before the installation’s public opening on May 1. The installation consists of 126 oversized playing cards, each featuring original artwork, including 20 designed by Houston artists. During the day, the cards’ crisp white lines and colorful images will dazzle; at night, the structure will be illuminated to create the illusion of the house of cards rising and falling. Its first public lighting during Blanc on the Green will be the evening’s pièce de résistance.

Public Performance Artist Self-Quarantine Covid-19
2020-06-01 12:00 - 13:00 | 600 Block of Heights Blvd., 638 Heights Blvd, Houston, TX, 77007, United States
Vincent Fink, a Houston, TX native and full-time fine artist is self-quarantining inside his Dodecahedron installation on Heights Blvd. This public performance art statement brings awareness to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the art scene and the resulting struggles with mental health caused by Social Distancing. Fink invites the public to responsibly join him for a series of live performances at the 600 block of Heights Blvd.

After nearly two months of losing sales, shows, and a bit of his sanity, Vincent decided it was time to turn his life back around and, like a faucet had been turned on, work began to pour back in. Now he is planning several performances through the lockdown summer including a “lunch-in” around noon Monday June 1st, and evening viewings on Friday June 5th and Thursday June 11th both at 6:30pm. More performances are expected to be scheduled accompanied by Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram Livestreams for those practicing Social Distancing.

Vincent invites Houstonians to join around the Dodecahedron for these “sit-ins”. He encourages attendees to bring a snack, chair or blanket, beverages, and face coverings/masks. Exclusive Fink art printed masks can also be purchased on his website or clothing store: www.point506.com/shop but be aware production time is around 8-10 days and are ship-only.

Vincent hopes to convey a different angle to the narrative that is under-represented in the national community: that of a young full-time professional artist/entrepreneur who has experienced the negative effects on not only the economy but also from a mental health perspective. Isolation is a very dangerous place to be. Especially for artists who tend to be sensitive, deeply in touch with their emotions, and often detached from society. Vincent offers hope to those suffering from depression as he did for his 1st two months of lockdown.

His Dodecahedron is part of “True North 2020” A Heights Boulevard sculpture project in Houston, Texas along with 7 other sculptures installed until the end of the year. Commissioned by Houston Heights Association. To learn more about True North visit: https://houstonheights.org/get-involved/heights-boulevard-art-project/
and check out the blog post about its construction.
