Swipe through for a look inside the artists’ studios as Irene Antonia Diane Reece, Roksana Pirouzmand, and Chavis Mármol built their new works – and join us tomorrow, Thursday, September 17, from 6-9PM to see them complete.
 
Curated by Rigoberto Luna, the three exhibitions open onto three distinct worlds: one where spectacle turns symbols of power into play, one where our lives and actions extend beyond ourselves and become intertwined with those of others, and one where the archive is met not as history but as something living and present.
 
This event is free and open to the public; no registration is required. The curator talk will be live-streamed on Facebook.

Meet the Artist | Irene Antonia Diane Reece

This Fall, we welcome Irene Antonia Diane Reece as our cohort’s Texas Artist, based in Houston, Texas. As a contemporary artist and visual activist, Irene’s work addresses the African diaspora, social injustice, family histories, re-memory, and community health. Her practice continues to decentralize the white gaze in photography and to confront the violence of the camera by paying homage to Black Southern pride, centering the fluidity of Black identity, and protecting Black archives.

Previous shows include FREIZE No.9 Cork Street (London, UK), FOTODOK (Utrecht, Netherlands), Lawndale Art Center (Houston, TX), and Dak’Art: La Biennale de Dakar (Dakar, SN). Reece is a grant recipient for the 2025 PhMuseum Women Photographers Grant. Her work has been featured in TIME Magazine, NYT, Aperture, Atlanta Center for Photography, Vogue, Art Papers, OVER Journal, Hyperallergic, and FOAM Magazine. Additionally, contributions to The Photographer’s Green Book, ProPublica, and the ‘You Are Your Best Thing’ Anthology by Tarana Burke and Brené Brown.

Swipe to see Irene’s past works, along with some images from her residency at Artpace, where she has connected with the San Antonio community, including Fuerza Unida, and conducted archival research within the UTSA Special Collections: Suarez Farah Strike, and St. Philip’s College’s Tailoring Catalog.

Join us next week on Thursday, September 17, from 6-9PM, to view Irene’s new works at our Opening Reception.

Meet the Artist | Chavis Mármol

This fall, we welcome Chavis Mármol as our cohort’s International Artist. Based in Mexico City, Chavis is a self-described “4x4 all-terrain artist.” Chavis’ work assembles, translates, and transplants iconic figures from pop culture, art history, and the collective imagination. Often charged with humor and critique, these gestures let him comment on, disrupt, and provoke within the specific context where he works–Mexico City–on personal, social, and political levels. He works across sculptural techniques and materials (stone, wood, metal, clay, resin, textiles, organic waste, and more), frequently pairing them with performative acts staged in the city’s public space.

His work has appeared in national and international exhibitions, including Fundación Juan March (Madrid and Mallorca), Museo Jumex and Museo Anahuacalli (Mexico City), Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Chile, UNAM’s Bienal de Arte Universitario, the Bienal de Arte Emergente de Monterrey, and the Bienal Internacional de Arte Universitario del Estado de México.

Chavis is currently a member of Mexico’s Sistema Nacional de Creadores del Arte (SNCA) and a recipient of the Premio Gorrita Azul for Artista Promesa. He is also the founder of Todo Woooow, an art and design production workshop where he has collaborated with more than 50 artists, producing work for museums and galleries, including Museo Tamayo, Museo Eco, and Museo Jumex in Mexico City; the Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid; and the New Museum in New York City.

Save the date for our Opening Reception on Thursday, September 17, from 6-9PM, to see new works by our Fall 2026 International Artist-in-Residence.

Last month, Evergreen Garden TX 🌵 donated plants to line Artpace’s front entrance in honor of artist-in-residence Betelhem Makonnen’s memory.

Traditional healers in both Ethiopia and Brazil have long recognized these plants for their ability to filter ill wishes and absorb toxic elements from the environment, as well as their medicinal properties.

Thank you to Evergreen Garden TX 🌵, to the volunteers and interns who helped plant them, and to our community for continuing to honor Bete’s memory and legacy.

Meet the Artist | This Fall, we welcome Roksana Pirouzmand as an Artpace International Artist-in-Residence. As this cohort’s National Artist based in Los Angeles, California, Pirouzmand is a multidisciplinary artist whose work, with performance at its heart, takes shape across sculpture, installation, and two-dimensional imagery.

Pirouzmand draws on personal experience to build installation systems that open up space for transformation, deterioration, and movement – unfolding through the relationship between artist, artwork, and audience.

She holds a BFA from California Institute of the Arts (2017) and an MFA from the University of California, Los Angeles (2022). Her work has been shown at OXY ARTS, Los Angeles (2026), JOAN, Los Angeles (2026), François Ghebaly, New York (2024), Spurs Gallery, Beijing (2024), Vernacular Institute, Mexico City (2024); Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2023), and Murmurs, Los Angeles (2022), among others.

This summer, Artpace welcomed interns whose contributions supported exhibitions, communications, and education programming across the organization. During their time at Artpace, interns assisted with the installation of our newest exhibition, 𝘚𝘦𝘭𝘧; supported website updates and exhibition documentation, including photography and videography; helped with the deinstallation of our Spring exhibitions; and contributed to projects led by our Education Manager, furthering Artpace's community-facing programs.

We're grateful for their work and the fresh perspectives they brought to our team this summer.
