‘Impractical Spaces: Houston’ places the city’s art community in the context of a nationally-distributed series of books (and eventual anthology) examining the significance of historic alternative art spaces in cities outside the glare of New York and Los Angeles. Through a collection of descriptive entries, photographs, and ephemera provided by founding members of such spaces, the history of Houston’s alternative art scene is documented, preserved, celebrated, and shared. Edited by Pete Gershon, series edited by Paddy Johnson. 216 pp., full color. Price includes shipping and handling. PRE-ORDER / SHIPS LATE FEBRUARY!
