TIERNEY MALONE: THIRD WARD IS MY HARLEM Completes Run 12/19

Tierney Malone: Third Ward is My Harlem  Nov. 7 - Dec. 19, 2009 Opening Reception: Saturday, Nov. 7, 2009, 6 - 8pm Commissioned by DiverseWorks.

Houston artist Tierney Malone transforms the DiverseWorks Main Gallery into a massive multi-media installation with his latest work. Drawing from his own Southern roots and experiences, growing up in urban black American, Malone reframes American history and situates himself and his audience firmly in complex, non-linear narratives full of stoic nostalgia and sophistication. Malone craft's an undeniably personal story of the Third Ward in a way that speaks to the experiences of much more than just one man.
