Culture Map

Nancy Wozny writes a beautiful tribute to who Jeremy Choate was to the Houston arts community as well as the power and skill of his work.

Here’s the Culture Map story with all of the details.

We grieve the loss of Jeremy Choate, light artist and integral member of the Houston arts community.  A compassionate and patient man taken from us too soon, trying to make sense of it.

Joel Luks has written this on Culture Map about Jeremy Choate’s passing.  Talks about his work, his collaborations and his daughters.  Rest in peace, Jeremy.

Give more hugs, give more love.

Last night lighting designer Jeremy Choate known to all the Houston arts community was hit on his bike by a drunk driver.  Here’s the chron story.  If you’ve been to a modern dance performance or theater show in Houston, it’s likely you’ve seen his work.  He lit Mortar, Sylphs Wrote, our Spring 2011 show at both Barnevelder in Big Range Dance Festival and 12 MInutes Max! at Diverse Works.  Please pray for his healing.

What is the black space?  One of the Framers wrote this:

Our second spotlight is on Framer Kristen Frankiewicz.  What did she think when I pitched The Black Space?  What does she think the black space is?

“Finding darkness in light and finding light in darkness.”
