From March 11 - 17 Border Crossings’ Editor Meeka Walsh will be in Houston, Texas to conduct portfolio reviews for FOTOFEST 2008: the Twelfth Annual International Biennial of Photography and Photo-Related Art.

All Houston art museums and 107 other spaces are celebrating photo-based art with FOTOFEST2008-CHINA, the Twelfth International Biennial of Photography and Photo-related Art. Alongside FOTOFEST’s 10 exhibitions on Photography from China 1934-2008, 19 other spaces are hosting China-related exhibits and events. Eighty other spaces are working with the Biennial’s ancillary theme Transformations.  Others are mounting shows independent of the two themes.
