Asia Society Texas will celebrate the opening of the first public art installation, "Rafael Domenech and Tomas Vu: Heat Silhouette!"

Made of wood, aluminum framing, and laser-cut construction mesh - the very materials used to build the city of Houston - this collaboration between Cuban American artist Domenech and Vietnamese American artist Vu assumes the form of an outdoor pavilion that becomes an extension of the museum and public programming space, taking cues from college campuses, popular culture, and experimental magazines.

Guests of all ages are welcome to participate in the day’s festivities with craft activities and performances throughout the afternoon. there will be live music from a local band and Bollywood dancing. The afternoon will showcase the versatility of Heat Silhouette with the hopes to inspire more spontaneous use from the public during its installation.
