In Intervals, four artist/educators address opportunities at the crossroads of cultures, where yesterday's dream and today's choice meet.

Cuban-American artist Maria Cristina Jadick combines classic American icons, photography, video, printmaking techniques and found materials to create installations that have been exhibited in galleries, museums and alternative spaces throughout East-Asia, Europe, Latin America and the United States.

In a sequel to his recent Awakenings series, Italian-born artist Nicola Parente engages the viewer in new dialogues about the human-urban experience. He has been featured in solo exhibitions in Mexico and Ethiopia.

Master sculptor Masaru Takiguchi has won numerous awards in sculpture competitions in Japan, France and locally at Rice University.

Tudor Mitroi integrates the cultural traditions of Romania and the European and American artistic experiences. His work, based on maps, rulers, documentary images and humble items from the daily environment, explores personal geographies and the relative concepts of time and place.

On view through Nov. 6.
