DESCRIPTION:Event Name: Bela Gold: The Book of Memory\nEvent Url: http://ww

 e Begin: 2010-02-02\nEvent Date End: 2010-04-25\n\nHolocaust Museum Housto
 n presents the exhibition Bela Gold: The Book of Memory. On view in the La
 urie and Milton Boniuk Resource Center and Library February 2\, 2010 throu
 gh April 25\, 2010.  Holocaust Museum Houston is proud to collaborate with
  the Consulate General of Mexico in presenting samples of the work by arti
 st Bela Gold.\nFor several years\, Gold's work has been a reflection of th
 e complexity of contemporary culture. Her work is defined by a contrast be
 tween beauty and cultural references\; in her case\, the Holocaust. She pu
 ts this conflict on display in all her pieces\, which offer evidence of ou
 r own ambivalence toward the beauty of artistic expression and the social 
 impact it creates. Gold offers a sample book of the various graphics techn
 iques depicting a variety of metal etchings\, photoengraved-intaglio\, eng
 raved-intaglio\, laser engraving\, graphite on stone\, silkscreen and grap
 hite drawing on stone\, and digital embroidery on cloth.\nThe interest in 
 the recovery of historic memory found in testimonials\, bundles and kept i
 n stored documents\, preserved and systematically classified and its artis
 tic production\, among other creative concerns\, are some of the substanti
 al motivation that are developed in Gold's work.\nOne of the distinctive c
 haracteristics of her investigation is the construction of aesthetic proje
 cts creating artistic models that might contribute to transfigure the lang
 uage in favor of the work itself and its intentions starting from aestheti
 c models that perpetuate memory.\nThese works are particular as they look 
 to reconvert the texts into images\, given that the appropriate material\,
  transformed and post-produced\, has its origins in documents from written
  archives and manuscripts\, most of them typographic\, which accentuate th
 e interpretative polysemy\, metaphorical and conceptual. These search to r
 etake the history of the documents in an artistic context\, but also to na
 rrate the hidden story behind the words\; to make a story out of the truth
  of facts and declare or denounce them.\nThe exhibit is on view in Holocau
 st Museum Houston's Laurie and Milton Boniuk Resource Center and Library f
 rom 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. The library is closed Saturda
 ys and Sundays. Admission is free.\nThe exhibit is sponsored by the Mexica
 n Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Bank of America and is part of the celeb
 ratory events of Mexico's Independence Bicentennial and Centennial of its 
 Revolution.\nFor more information\, visit www.houstoncelebratesmexico2010.

 gmann at Canal Street Gallery from Feb. 25 through April 30\, 2010.\n\nSta
