Irrationally Speaking highlights two art forms—collage and assemblage—as artistic techniques and conceptual approaches. With the simple act of placing two or more distinct images or objects together (sometimes jarringly so) artists can create a complex whole to address a multiplicity of meanings. Combined wood fragments, cut-and-pasted paper, seamless digital and photo-based prints comprised of disparate pictures, bronze sculptures created from discarded shoes, and contrasting clothing articles put together —these are some of the ways that contemporary artists harness a myriad of materials and methods to craft the art in this presentation.

Irrationally Speaking will be on view 9.21.24 - 8.31.25

Entry to Ruby City is free and open to the public. Reservations are recommended but not required.

Ruby City proudly presents Synthesis & Subversion Redux, an exhibition celebrating the legacy of Frances Jean Colpitt and the evolving conversation around Latinx art. This new exhibition revisits Colpitt’s groundbreaking 1996 show, Synthesis and Subversion: A Latino Direction in San Antonio Art, and its influence on contemporary art practices today.
In 1996, Colpitt brought together a group of San Antonio-based artists—Jesse Amado, David Padilla Cabrera, Alejandro Diaz, Franco Mondini-Ruiz, Ana de Portela, and Chuck Ramirez—who explored identity, abstraction, and the everyday through conceptual approaches. The exhibition challenged norms and sparked critical debate, becoming a pivotal moment in San Antonio’s art history.

Now, nearly 30 years later, Redux builds on Colpitt’s vision while reflecting the profound changes in the art world since then. Curated by two Latinas in leadership roles at major institutions, Ruby City Director, Elyse A. Gonzales, and Curator of Latinx Art at the McNay Art Museum, Mia Lopez, Redux showcases the work of five contemporary artists: Juan Carlos Escobedo, Jenelle Esparza, Bárbara Miñarro, Angeles Salinas, and José Villalobos. These artists bring fresh perspectives to themes of identity, memory, and culture, often through craft-informed practices that incorporate textiles, personal history, and connections to the U.S.-Mexico border.

The exhibition will be on view from February 15, 2024 through September 28, 2025 at Studio, located inside Chris Park (111 Camp Street).

The late artist and activist Michael Tracy is known for color-saturated paintings, assembled and cast sculptures and mixed-media objects that challenge conventional beauty while addressing issues of faith, ritual, immigration and the environment. In remarkable symmetry, the McNay Art Museum hosted Tracy’s first museum exhibition in 1971 and his works return in the last exhibition he was directly involved with before his recent death at age 80.

The exhibition surveys approximately two decades of his career, and many of the works — paintings, sculptures and mixed media abstract objects — have never been exhibited before. The presentation will feature large-scale paintings spanning floor to ceiling while an original soundscape commissioned from composer Omar Zubair will complete the environment.

'Michael Tracy: The Elegy of Distance' is organized for the McNay Art Museum by René Paul Barilleaux, Head of Curatorial Affairs; and Christopher Rincón, President, Michael Tracy Foundation and Director, River Pierce Foundation.

Major funding is provided by the Arthur and Jane Stieren Fund for Exhibitions and Peter M. Holt. Additional support is provided by the Flora Crichton Visiting Artist Fund; Semmes Foundation, Inc.; Elizabeth Huth Coates Charitable Foundation of 1992; Christopher C. Hill; Louis H. and Mary Patricia Stumberg Foundation; and Sara Paschall Dodd-Denton.
