Those Who Fell Through the Cracks, a photography exhibition by Stanley Greene and Kadir van Lohuizen, will debut August 20th at the Lawndale Art Center in Houston before traveling from Texas to Louisiana. Stanley Greene, whose recent book Black Passport was published by Aperture this past Spring, worked in collaboration with Lohuizen documenting New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Mural size prints from the project will be installed on the interior and exterior of a highly innovative 24′ itinerant truck. As the truck drives east from Houston, the photographs’ messages will be broadcast across the region, bringing awareness to a need for systemic change.

The exhibition’s opening in Houston is part of a series of events and exhibitions taking place throughout the city on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Other events include an August 21st talk with Stanley Greene and Kadir van Lohuizen at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

As previously announced, an exhibition of photographs by Richard Misrach entitled After Katrina is on view at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston through October 31. The exhibition is accompanied by a book entitled Destroy This Memory, which will be published by Aperture this month.

Last Wednesday, May 20th, on the occasion of the publication of Dan Winters’s first monograph, Periodical Photographs (Aperture, May 2009), the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, presented a lovely evening with the top editorial photographer whose work is included in the museum’s permanent collection. Winters, currently a resident of Austin, Texas, captivated fans with an engaging lecture about his illustrious career in the museum’s spacious Brown Auditorium, followed by a reception and book signing. The charming and accommodating Mr. Winters chatted away with fans and signed lots of books. Anne Wilkes Tucker, the MFAH curator of Photography, introduced Winters, and was host for the evening along with Bernard Bonnet, buyer for the museum’s bookstore.
