The Artery

The Artery in Houston, TX is a unique space dedicated to fostering the exchange of ideas and expressions among artists, travelers, and seers, all while maintaining a deep reverence for nature. Founded in 2004 by Mark Larsen, it serves as a site-specific environmental artspace where natural and human-made forms coexist harmoniously, inspiring collaborations and relationships that aim to pursue civic and artistic purposes.

Defined as a monument for emergent cities of the 21st Century, The Artery goes beyond traditional statuary to create a space where collective memory is fixed through ephemeral public rituals of rediscovery and reenactment. Designed by architect Cameron Armstrong, this monumental landscape in Houston hosts a variety of performances and events that contribute to the city's social recollection and serve as agents in the reproduction of local memory.
