Skydive

Comment on Facebook

SKYDIVE is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization. Contributions in behalf of SKYDIVE may be made payable to Fractured Atlas and are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

The aim of SKYDIVE is to host a range of art practices that push the limits of their material forms, including non-traditional methods of sculpture, installation, video, performance, and works that engage the viewer through participation, as well as text and web-based projects.

SKYDIVE utilizes an open and collaborative model for producing its programming. A group of artists, curators, and other professionals function as Advisors to help create shows, invite artists, and collaborate in the mission and programming of the space. Participants in SKYDIVE will be invited to Houston for a sustained number of days, previous to the exhibition to make their work, interact with the Houston community and see the sites in Houston and surrounding areas.

NOTE:  The Skydive art collective is moving from its original location in a Montrose Boulevard tower below the club formerly known as Scott Gertner's Skybar (and the organization's namesake) to an adorable brick two-story house on the neighborhood's western periphery. The old building at 3400 Montrose has a new proprietor, and all former tenants have left the premises as the high-rise receives a revamp.

Located at 2041 Norfolk St., at the corner of Shepherd Drive across from Star Pizza, the new digs represent a shift from the former space's stark office building atmosphere to a domestic home base. (FROM October 22, 2010 CultureMap article by Steven Thomson)
