New Works: 13.3

Artpace San Antonio, San Antonio

exhibition curated by Paola Morsiani
Director of the Neuberger Museum of Art, Purchase, New York

Each year the International Artist-in-Residency program invites nine artists to conceive and create pivotal art projects.

Artpace provides artists with unparalleled resources and allows them to take time, take risks, and unveil new ideas. Each residency is composed of one artist from Texas, one from elsewhere in the United States, and one from abroad. Artpace provides each artist with a two-month residency, which includes a materials budget, a weekly living stipend, an apartment, and studio/exhibition space, as well as fully equipped wood, metal, and computer facilities, complete with technical and administrative support. The goal is to give artists a space in which to imagine new ways to work. The residency is followed by a two-month exhibition of the project created, which is fully documented and accompanied by a full-color exhibition brochure. All art made during the residency belongs to the artist. Resident artists are encouraged to share their ideas and become involved with the San Antonio and Texas arts communities.

Artpace invites guest curators to select three artists for each residency. These curators reflect a lively diversity of background, approach, and region, hailing from Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Korea, Mexico, and the United States. Guest curators conduct extensive field work by visiting up to fifty recommended studios in Texas—making it possible for individual artists to meaningfully connect with internationally-recognized curators. The artists, our program, and our community benefit from this continual infusion of insight and scholarship.

Micol Assaël - Rome, Italy
Italian artist Micol Assaël employs elements of science, mechanics, and natural phenomena to her artwork. Interested in the relationship of the body and the communication at play between her work and the viewer, she often requires her audience to take risks. Developed in cooperation with the Moscow Physics Research Institute, Chizhevsky Lessons (2007) transformed the Kunsthalle Basel exhibition space into an electromagnetic field delivering a noticeable electric charge to viewers. Her work has been presented in solo and group exhibitions worldwide including Fomuska at Museion in Bolzano/Bozen, Italy (2010) and Gakona at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris (2009). She is the recipient of the PinchukArtCentre’s The Future Generation Art Prize 2012, and was included in the 28th Biennial of São Paulo (2008); Berlin Biennale (2006); Venice Biennale (2003/2005); and the Moscow Biennale (2005).

Ivor Shearer - Houston, Texas
Ivor Hartley Shearer is an artist working with film, video, and installation. He lives and works in Houston, Texas. His work has shown nationally and internationally in museums and film festivals, including the Wexner Center for the Arts and the New Orleans Museum of Art. He has an MFA from Columbia University (2010), and attended the Whitney Independent Study Program (2011). He was recently a recipient of the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation 2012 Biennial Award.

Erin Shirreff - New York, New York
Working in multi-media, New York-based artist Erin Shirreff’s work encourages the viewer to see objects in new ways: unsettling spacial and sensory experience by creating sculptural works specifically for the camera that confuse perception; layering still photographs in video to present a new experience of the Moon or James Turrell’s great unfinished Roden Crater work (2009); exploring myriad interferences of glare and shadow at play on a computer screen; and presenting only one façade of a familiar Tony Smith work in an outdoor commission, Sculpture for Snow. Shirreff holds an MFA in sculpture from Yale University. Her work has been presented in numerous in solo and group exhibitions including Inside the White Cube at the White Cube, London; Lake at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco; The Locker Plant at the Chinati Foundation, Marfa; and Still, Flat, and Far at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia.
