Mixed with ambitious installations
The visual artists build experiences within the blurred boundaries of performance, interaction and immersive installations both indoors and out. Large scale projections and site-specific custom-built structures bring a heightened sensorial experience to new audiences.
The Campus
The historic Barbara Jordan Post Office at 401 Franklin Street, designed by the same architects as the Houston Astrodome, will be the setting for this year’s hyper-sensorial festival.
The 1.5 million square foot hybrid indoor-outdoor space will house three massive stages with seamless flow between the stages and immersive art installations.
