VISUAL ARTS + MUSEUMS

What We Do Isn't Secret: A 2011 PDM Block Preview opens at Caroline Collective on July 9th! Opening Reception, Saturday, July 9, 6pm-10pm. Arrive hungry! The Green Seed Vegan food truck will be on site to serve cruelty-free food to our hungry patrons, so bring a little bit of cash to dine. Refreshments will also be available. On view through August 5.

What We Do Isn't Secret is a group exhibition grounded in traditional and digital photographic processes that departs into large format photography and installation work. It’s no secret the content is varied: interpretations of Plato’s Cave, eerie steampunk portraits influenced by Victorian photography, bmx culture, and others. While each artist pursues different objectives, the show retains a sense of unity through a shared medium.

What We Do Isn't Secret is a photoextravaganza that introduces fifteen emerging Houston photographers: Jaime Aguirre, Melissa Baumann, Alonso Benitez, Robert Z. Easley, Bryan Forrester, Josh Garland, Danny Garska, Bri Holmes, Maggie Hooyman, Paris Jomadiao, Hannah Joseph-Alvarado, LeeAnn Lo, Katy McCormick, Alyssa Stephens, and Johnathon Tamayo.

What We Do Isn’t Secret is curated by Shannon Duncan with the assistance of Ned Dodington and Geoff Smith, sponsored by C2 Creative, and hosted by Caroline Collective.
