"If You Could Read My Mind" is a two-city art exhibition exchange between Clamp Light Studios & Gallery, an artist-run studio and exhibition space based in San Antonio, and Box 13 Artspace, an artist-run studio and exhibition space in Houston.
While close to 200 miles separate the two artist groups, the common goal is to support their fellow artists and share their community’s creative output. The first phase of the exchange features works by Box13 Artspace artists at Clamp Light Studios & Gallery, curated by Bianca Alvarez. Phase two of the exchange features works by current and former Clamp Light resident artists at Box13 Artspace, curated by Rosa Ana Orlando.
"If You Could Read My Mind" features artworks from drawing to video, by 12 Houston-based artists that were produced during the height of the Covid-19 global pandemic. Although created in sequestered studio practices, the selected works collectively explore themes surrounding isolation, introspection, and identity through images of nature and organic or bodily references.
However, a tension is palpable. Where images of our physical world may conjure picturesque or idealized scenes; the presentation of these artworks subverts that notion to speak to the relationship between psychological and natural landscapes. Here, those theoretical borders blur to implore reflections on memory, purpose, and belonging, while emphasizing our own resilience when viewed within the context from which these artworks emerged.
Bianca Alvarez Artists include Peter Broz, Celia Butler, Joshua Caleb, Angel Castelán, Ahra Cho, Chelsea Clarke, Sandra de la Rosa, Kevin Lopez, Elias Lytton, Venessa Monokian, Sydney Parks and Charles VanMeter.
Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on view through April 8.
