Meet the artists, enjoy refreshments, and see art spanning photography, video, and installation. Artist-run, Artist-organized comprises three discrete exhibitions by Texas-based artist groups La Mecha Contemporary, Omnigenesis Collective, and Throughline Collective.
La Mecha Contemporary's interdisciplinary artists explore home as a physical space and mental construct in Migrating Memories and the Spaces Between. In Apeirophobia, meaning fear of infinity or eternity, Omnigenesis Collective investigates the growing generative capabilities of artificial intelligence. Houston's Throughline Collective addresses how places can summon diasporic memory, repressed histories, and mystical experiences in Troubling the Boundaries.
