Ripple: Havel Ruck Projects at Cherryhurst House
Ripple, on view at Cherryhurst House through Jan. 1, 2019, is the latest and perhaps the most ambitious deconstruction/transition project by the Houston-based artist collective Havel Ruck Projects. For more than 20 years, Dan Havel and his partner Dean Ruck have embraced structures which seem to be at the end of their life, breathing into them a new context and vision to create compelling “swan songs.” The temporal quality and public aspect of Havel Ruck’s work is the common element behind their collaborations. Though not preservationists, they value the craftsmanship revealed as the layers of history and time are peeled back.
