TERRY VINE'S HINES DOWNTOWN PROJECT BECOMES FOTOFEST 2002 EXHIBIT

HOUSTON, Feb. 01 -- To highlight its new office building and retail space under construction in downtown Houston, Hines commissioned award winning Houston photographer Terry Vine to capture the vibrant and cosmopolitan culture of the area. The resulting images are the focus of Vine’s FOTOFEST 2002 exhibition, BEING URBAN. “Terry Vine’s first venture into capturing the spirit of the revitalization of the central business district of downtown Houston has produced a remarkably poetic visual diary of daily life there,” said Clint Willour, executive director/curator of Galveston Arts Center. “His photographs capture the drama of the architecture in concert with the everyday activities of the inhabitants - a marriage of form and function, of stasis and motion. He has succeeded in documenting what BEING URBAN is all about.”

Vine’s work, represented by Buchanan Gallery, will be on display in the lobby of the Bank of America building throughout FOTOFEST 2002 held in Houston beginning March 1, 2002, with an opening reception Saturday evening, March 2. This city wide event titled, The Classical Eye and Beyond, features classical black and white, mixed media photography and new technologies from national and international photographers.
In addition to many solo and group exhibitions, Vine’s work is in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Denver Art Museum; Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art in New Paltz, New York; Santa Barbara Museum of Art and the Musée de la Photographie a Charleroi, Charleroi, Belgium as well as numerous private collections.

Buchanan Gallery, Galveston Island, Texas, is also exhibiting IMAGENES MEXICANAS by Terry Vine, a collection of previously unseen and favorite images. For more information, please contact Kathi Buchanan, Phone/Fax (409) 763-8683 or Email kathi@buchanangallery.com.

TERRY VINE'S IMAGES OF MEXICO TO BECOME FOTOFEST 2002 EXHIBIT

HOUSTON, Feb. 01 -- Images from an ongoing project photographing the people and traditions of life in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, will be the basis of the FOTOFEST exhibit IMAGENES MEXICANAS by award winning Houston photographer Terry Vine.

“Vine’s work presents the viewer with life’s dichotomy -- clean, achingly simple images that evoke a sense of deeper meaning; the mystery that lies beneath the surface of everyday living. His subjects, at first glance, appear remote, yet they draw the observer into an intensely intimate space,” says Verónica Byrne, Assistant Editor, Atención San Miguel newspaper.

IMAGENES MEXICANAS will be on display at Buchanan Gallery, Galveston Island, throughout FOTOFEST 2002 with an opening reception on Saturday evening, February 23, 2002. The citywide event titled, The Classical Eye and Beyond, features classical black and white, mixed media photography and new technologies from national and international photographers.

In addition to many solo and group exhibitions, Vine’s work is in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Denver Art Museum; Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art, New York; Santa Barbara Museum of Art and the Musée de la Photographie a Charleroi, Charleroi, Belgium as well as numerous private collections.
