Houston’s Third Ward, a decrepit and impoverished neighborhood, “may be [the site of] the most impressive and visionary public art project in the country — a project that is miles away, geographically and philosophically, from Chelsea and Art Basel and the whole money-besotted paper-thin art scene.” The man behind the Third Ward’s budding reinvention is Rick Lowe, and his vision is wrapped up in the idea that “art can be the way people live.”
