In celebration of the opening of the newly expanded Museum Reach of the Riverwalk this May, SAMA is pleased to present Waterflow, an exhibition of recent works by fifteen Texas artists who have been inspired by water.
The exhibition opens on Wednesday, May 13 and will run through Sunday, August 23, 2009.Organized by David S. Rubin, The Brown Foundation Curator of Contemporary Art, the exhibition features the work of Norman Rene Avila, Andy Benavides, Justin Boyd, Nate Cassie, Rebecca Dietz, Jayne Lawrence, Mark Menjivar, Leslie Raymond, Ansen Seale, Penelope Speier, Laura Varela and Guillermina Zabala, Bettie Ward, Liz Ward, and Liliana Wilson. These artists work in several mediums and take a variety of approaches, with themes centering on the essence of nature, the passage of time, nature as metaphor, and the preservation of the environment.
According to Rubin, “San Antonio is like a “well” of creativity, a womb-shaped city with a river flowing through it. We are fortunate that so many extraordinary artists have sprung from and been nurtured by the well.”
The exhibition will be accompanied by an illustrated catalogue. A members celebration of the exhbition in conjunction witht he opening of the Museum Reach Riverwalk extension will take place Friay, May 29. Rubin will also moderate a panel discussion entitled “Water Flows in All Directions” with artists from the exhibition – Justin Boyd, Ansen Seale, Liz Ward and Liliana Wilson – on Tuesday, June 9th, at 6:30 pm.
