A ninth-generation Texan and fourth-generation San Antonian, Botello has long been connected to Texas waterways. It wasn’t until Botello lived in other US cities, where relationships with water sources were more distant, that she began to question: what does it mean to pay attention to what water might be saying for itself?
Nearly a decade after she began investigating this question through her practice, Botello will combine artworks across an array of media, sound, sculpture, image, and more, to give voice to the San Antonio River.
This exhibition holds particular resonance for the Contemporary, which sits along the San Antonio River. "Theophany" transforms the gallery into a space of deep listening, not only to the artist’s compositions but to the river itself, encouraging visitors to engage with the water that flows past the Contemporary’s doors with new awareness and attention.
Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on view through October 5.
