First member meeting of 2009 will be held on February 19, 2009.

Mark your calendar and plan to attend a special evening event to be held in a fantastic mid-century home designed by one of Houston's finest architects. We'll come together for refreshments, conversation and an update on Houston Mod's plans for 2009, including the April home tour and August exhibit.

Learn how you can participate in Houston Mod by helping with these events and our efforts to document, protect and preserve Houston's modern legacy.

We welcome all current Houston Mod members, plus current and prospective volunteers.

Upcoming Houston EVENTS

CLEAN is featuring Manufactured Landscapes as part of our 2008 Environmental Film Series.

Manufactured Landscapes is the portrait of one man’s voyage as it follows celebrated still photographer Edward Burtynsky on a tour of Asia. Burtynsky takes large-format stills of industrial landscapes: factory workers lined up in infinity, giant ships eviscerated, massive recycling dumps, expansive strip mines. His goal is to portray humanity’s relationship to nature as we pursue progress. When Burtynsky speaks, he neither celebrates or condemns but simply explores who were are in relation to our planet. We extract things from the environment to survive, and that is damaging the world.

When: February 20th @ 7 pm
Where: Rice Media Center, Rice University (Entrance #8 located at Stockton and University Blvd.)
Fee: None, however, donations will be accepted at the door.
