Color Bursting Hermann Park | 2018

A site specific installation by Nicola Parente and Tami Moschioni

About Art Uniti. Nicola Parente and Tami Moschioni partnered to form Art Uniti in 2017 focused on civic art projects collaborating with other creative Houston artists in an interactive practice.  Civic artworks are often temporary, multidisciplinary, steeped in color theory and implement public engagement instigating multicultural interaction.

Media: Multidisciplinary, Art works: sign vinyl, house paint, fencing, ribbon, plumbers tape and industrial velcro

Dimensions: Multi dimensional.  Fifty percent of Hermann Park was filled with art and activities debuting during Kite Festival in the Spring

Art Uniti created a symphony of multi-disciplinary art celebrating Spring. “Color Bursting Hermann Park”  was funded by grants by HAA, NEA,  The Brown Foundation, Wells Fargo, and City of Houston and Hermann Park Conservancy.  Community surveys requested drawing attention to trees and entertainment.  Moschioni and Parente created “Dancing Trees” a rainbow of vinyl tree skirts on the oldest park trees.  “Lyrical Trees” were community created ribbon vests.  “Refraction” was an interactive dance choreographed by Lori Yuill.  “Shades of Blue”  a band performance led by Texas JohnnyBoy.  Art Uniti’s successfully managed this multidisciplinary art project with many partners.
