He was trained as a painter, attending Columbus College and studying visual arts at Texas Southern University in Houston. He is currently the artist-in-residence at the Nasher Sculpture Center and a Mel King Community Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Project Row Houses dates from 1993, when Mr. Lowe working with other artists, such as David Chung (artist), and community organizers arranged for the "purchase and restoration of a block and a half of derelict properties — 22 shotgun houses from the 1930s — in Houston’s predominantly African American Third Ward." More than 20 years later, according to an ''ArtNews'' article, the project has grown to 49 buildings spread out over 10 blocks and has a support program for young mothers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rick Lowe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
