House of Cards by OGE Group presented by Bracewell


*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 08/14/2021
House of Cards presented by Bracewell LLP is a public-art piece by Israel-based design studio by OGE Group consisting of 126 oversized playing cards, each of which features a unique piece of artwork. During the day, the cards’ crisp white lines and colorful images will dazzle. At night, the structure will be animated to create the illusion of the house of cards rising, collapsing and being rebuilt. During high-attendance time periods, (Fridays, 6 – 10 pm; Saturdays, 10 am to 10 pm; Sundays 10 am to 9 pm) reservations will be required to view House of Cards. Reservations available at ticket link. There is no cost to attend. FREE.

 The artists of OGE Group and the Discovery Green Conservancy see the House of Cards installation as a visual metaphor for how vital each piece of the community is for its overall strength and structure. Covid-19 has been a real-world example of just how interconnected we are and we’ve discovered we truly are stronger together. In its original state, a house of cards is a fragile creation. This House of Cards is monumental and stable. At this moment, which feels very fragile, we welcome a House of Cards that stands strong as an international collaboration.

Discovery Green Conservancy has implemented a number of safety measures so that Houstonians can safely view House of Cards. Visitors are required to wear masks. Markers designating 6’ distances will be added to the queuing and viewing areas.
