    Terrell James, Steven Felicelli, and Geoffrey Muller  host a collaborative evening in honor of Cy Twombly. Ashley MacLean curated the space at AvantGarden (411 Westheimer) back in 2007 and returns on Friday, November 11th (from 8-11pm) for Reading, Talk, and Unveiling: An Evening in Tribute to Cy Twombly, bringing San Francisco writer Steven Felicelli to the Houston arts community. Renowned artist Terrell James and Houston favorite Geoffrey Muller will join Felicelli in paying tribute to the late Mr. Twombly.

    Geoffrey Muller (of Robert Ellis and the Boys, Sideshow Tramps, I am Mesmer, and Trio Musette) will begin the evening on banjo, cigar-box guitar, upright bass, trashcan bass, saw, and piccolo. That piccolo part is a joke, but the rest is true.

    Steven Felicilli has written four quasi-novels and published two of them. He holds a PhD in Eastern Philosophy and is also the author of an interdisciplinary treatise, Ralph Ellison, John Cage, & Robert Ryman: Real Nowhere Men. Felicelli will read from his recent frame-by-frame narrative White (Purgatorio Press).

    Terrell James has been represented by Hiram Butler since 1989 and regularly exhibits nationally and internationally. Much of her work is inspired by landscape and environment and is done in response to her travels (most recently to Berlin, Montauk, and North Carolina). James has been included in two shows at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston in 2011. So far. She is returning to AvantGarden after completing a permanent installation wall for the venue in 2008. James will present a talk, ‘A Few Words on Painting (Goodbye Mr. Twombly),’ add to her existing mural, and unveil a new work.

    James and Felicelli met while in residence at The Edward F. Albee Foundation’s Art Barn in Montauk; this evening represents more than a year’s worth of their dialogue and collaboration.
