SUMMARY:Architecture As Public Art with Roberto Behar & Rosario Marquardt
DESCRIPTION:Presented by UTSA Arts & UT San Antonio School of Architecture and Planning \nR&R STUDIOS creates architecture and artworks that perform as social sculptures and tools for the pursuit of happiness. \nThey weave together visual arts\, architecture\, design\, landscape and the city. The ambition of thier practice is to reclaim\, enhance and develop the public dimension of the city. They seek to produce a public architecture that highlights the communal and civic dimension of life and erases boundaries between art and everyday life. They understand thier work as experiments in public space\, models of possibilities that might imbue the construction of the city with new meaning and emotion. \nThe work of R&R STUDIOS has been exhibited in galleries\, and in group and solo museum shows\, and is included in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in Buenos Aires\, the Archives d’Architecture Moderne in Brussels\, the Pérez Art Museum Miami\, Madison MOCA\, and the Princeton University Art Museum\, among others. R&R STUDIOS artworks have been featured in over 350 publications worldwide and five monographs (R&R Alphabet\, The Peace Project\, M\, The Living Room\, and Museum Works). A comprehensive monograph of R&R STUDIOS is scheduled for publication by Park Books\, Zurich\, in 2027. \nThier large-scale social sculptures create theaters for everyday life\, platforms for life to unfold\, they inspire togetherness and imagination\, inviting people to inhabit\, move through\, and engage with public spaces in ways that reveal the marvel of the real and imagine the city as our shared home. Our most recognized artworks include the biggest “M” in the world in Miami; All Together Now in downtown Denver; The Living Room\, our iconic Miami home turned inside out; Bésame Mucho and SUPERNOVA at the Coachella Music and Arts Festival; Building Blocks\, a pocket square in Seattle; I Love You\, a proposal to poetically transform the Miami skyline. \nMost recently\, they  completed Peace & Love\, a Parkland High-school Memorial with Bloomberg Philanthropies and the City of Coral Springs\, Dream Palace for Lollapalooza Argentina.We also unveiled three new public artworks for the Princeton University Art Museum\, documented in the book The Home We Share: Three Social Sculptures for Princeton University (Park Books\, Zurich\, 2025)\, and Beauty for All\, a billboard and visual manifesto for the 2025 Chicago Architecture Biennial.

SUMMARY:Fronterizx: Art by M. Jenea Sanchez &  Gabriela Muñoz with Jenelle Esparza
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: January 28\, 6 pm – 8 pm\n\nGallery hours: Thursdays-Saturdays\, 10-3:00\n\n\n\nFronterizx: Art by M. Jenea Sanchez and Gabriela Muñoz with Jenelle Esparza focuses on twenty-first century shared and socially-engaged art practices. This exhibition features work created by the Fronterizx Collective founded by Sanchez and Muñoz during their first collaboration in 2009 on the Arizona/Mexico borderline in a project titled La Tapiz Fronteriza de La Virgen de Guadalupe and includes contemporary artworks such as the video Caldo de Pollo and the photographic series Living Altar.

In 2023 they were awarded the Arlene and Morton Scult Artist Award by the Phoenix Art Museum and a 2024 USA Artist Fellowship.\n\nSanchez was born and raised in the Arizona and Sonora frontera and Muñoz migrated through the U.S.-Mexico borderlands to Phoenix. Esparza is a Corpus Christi and South Texas native. Esparza\, Sanchez\, and Muñoz were introduced as recipients of the 2024 US Latinx Fellowship.

SUMMARY:Thorns & Living Systems: Jayne Lawrence\,  Leigh Anne Lester\, cactusBRA/cactusBARN
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Dr. Scott A. Sherer and Lizzy Hayman\n\nThis exhibition brings together works from the individual creative careers of Jayne Lawrence and Leigh Anne Lester and a variety of materials that reference their collaborative endeavors in cactusBRA and cactusBARN\, the influential galleries they founded in San Antonio.
