ON EXHIBIT Pilgrimage of Light September 11, 2025 – January 25, 2026 By Mark Chen On view at the International Museum of Art & Science 1900 W. Nolana Ave, McAllen, TX 78504 956-681-2800 About the Exhibit Mark Chen explores the conceptual link between the geological age of landscapes and distances of galaxies. For his photography, the artist projects star imagery from space organizations such as NASA, onto remote landscapes in national parks using novel projection techniques. Chen documents his journeys to hard-to-reach landscapes in blogs on his artist website. He describes that, “he invents and repurposes tools as he pushes media boundaries, devising new processes that make possible the executions of his concepts.” The photographs in the series, Pilgrimage of Light, highlight the contrast between the earth and vastness of space. #ExploreIMAS #IMASartist #McAllenTX #RGVlife #photographyexhibition

Did you know about about 350 million birds migrated over the US last night? While the Atlantic flyway saw the most action, there are still many birds flying over Texas! Did you know that birds get disoriented by our lights on their long journeys? Please turn off your lights from 11 PM to 6 AM to help keep them safe! Windows are also a big danger. It's a sad statistic that over a billion birds die in glass collisions per year. You can make your windows safer with bird-friendly treatments. The folks at the Bird Collision Prevention Alliance have compiled scientifically proven ways to help. https://bit.ly/stopbirdcollisions Thank you Cornell Lab of Ornithology for sharing this helpful link! And thanks to you and your partners for producing BirdCast, which offers such a cool insight into migration. Happy birding, from the RGV's friendly backyard bird feeding specialists! 💛🐦 #wbumcallen #rgvbirds #backyardbirding #mcallentexas #riograndevalley #Riograndevalleytexas
