Houston reservoir reborn as public space, canvas for art

In this Friday, Dec. 16, 2016, photo, the exhibition of an abstract-video installation called “Rain” by Venezuelan artist Magdalena FernA ndez is projected inside a former water reservoir dubbed the “Cistern” in Houston. Once eyed for demolition, the former water reservoir built in 1926 has now found new life as a public space that’s also serving as an unusual canvas for art.
