𝘚𝘦𝘭𝘧 is a group exhibition that reexamines video art at Artpace through the work of four alumni artists. Each artist investigates the complexities of identity through self-portraits, projections of the self, and the body as a means of self-representation. This exhibition explores both how individuals perceive themselves and how others might view them.

While each artist employs distinct strategies—whether through video performance, observation, reflection on physical change, or narrative experimentation—they are united in their examination of selfhood. Together, these works offer a multifaceted exploration of identity, inviting viewers to consider the many ways it is constructed, performed, and perceived.

Featured alumni artists include Alex Bag, Paul Pfieffer, Kang Seung Lee, and Anne Wallace.

Artpace’s Fall 2026 exhibitions feature artists Irene Antonia Diane Reece (Houston, TX), Roksana Pirouzmand (Los Angeles, CA), and Chavis Mármol (Mexico City, Mexico), guest-curated by Rigoberto Luna.

Curated by Rigoberto Luna, the three exhibitions open onto three distinct worlds: one where spectacle turns symbols of power into play, one where our lives and actions extend beyond ourselves and become intertwined with those of others, and one where the archive is met not as history but as something living and present.

Mystics, Mediums, and Curanderas: Part 2 explores the challenges of navigating a world where one’s experiences, beliefs, or way of seeing may not fit within what society considers “normal.” This program offers an introduction to teachings and perspectives that are often difficult to understand amid the noise and distractions of the outside world.

Drawing from mysticism, the program explores the language of symbols, intuitive experiences, and encounters that reach beyond ordinary expression. Through the traditions and perspectives of mystics, mediums, and curanderas, participants are invited to consider the inner journey toward self-realization, deeper awareness, and a sense of unity.
