Alan Johnston is an artist who makes discrete wall drawings using a rhythmical pencil marking to describe a near invisible perimeter or frame on the wall. This project began with a commissioned wall drawing — in association with the Core Program — upon an interior wall of the Mies van der Rohe designed extension of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston in 2002.

The associated publication, HOUSTON MIES JOHNSTON, provides a brief conceptual survey of the drawing through texts by the artist; the art & architecture historian, Joseph Masheck; and the project curator, Gavin Morrison. The book incorporates many images of the extension shortly after its completion in 1974 by the architectural photography firm Hedrich-Blessing and is illustrated throughout with detailed images of the drawing and its installation in this iconic building.
