Light Show for UNESCO lights up the project room at Howard House with the care and attention usually given important architectural landmarks (exemplified by UNESCO World Heritage Cultural Sites such as the Giza pyramid complex in Egypt). This exhibition proposes UNESCO's method of securing unique and special places can be applied to the small and transitory just as well as to the mighty and permanent. The grotto-like room at the far back of Howard Howard is a manifestation of the fragility of the artist - dealer - collector complex, the opportunity and risk inherent in operating a small family business, and the delicate margins of marginal activities. Light Show tries to evoke wonder that such a place exists at all. The table-top group exhibition which accompanies the light show applies the goals of the UNESCO mandate (to promote diversity, to mobilize active forces, and to fertilize) to a small portion of the local artist community.
