DiverseWorks presents the exhibition Tierney Malone: Third Ward is My Harlem, on view  Nov. 7 – Dec. 19, 2009. The title of the show comes from a recent drawing by Malone containing a line declaring, "Houston is my New York, Third Ward is my Harlem." Opening Reception: Saturday, Nov. 7, 2009, 6 – 8pm. Commissioned by DiverseWorks. In the DiverseWorks Main Gallery.

Houston artist Tierney Malone transforms the DiverseWorks Main Gallery into a massive multi-media installation and community center with his latest work, Third Ward is My Harlem. Drawing from his own Southern roots and experiences, growing up in urban black American, Malone reframes American history and situates himself and his audience firmly in complex, non-linear narratives full of stoic nostalgia and sophistication.

During the course of Malone’s residency at DiverseWorks, he will work alongside young, aspiring artists from Houston’s historically significant Third Ward to craft an undeniably personal story of that place in a way that speaks to the experiences of much more than just one man.
