October 2018 - AJ Rodriguez - Renacer
|
AJ Rodriguez, a San Antonio native, has always had a passion for sketching and painting.
AJ’s enjoys painting bold pieces that cover a canvas with bright and/or deep, rich colors. He works with acrylic, ink, charcoal, and oil mediums. His style relies on thick strokes and those observing his work often comment on the movement, shape, and multi-dimensional qualities of his pieces. He most enjoys hearing what objects and themes observers and those appreciative of the arts see in his paintings. AJ was most encouraged by his wife, Estelle, to take up his palette and brushes once again; she is considered his artistic, and obviously, most trusted advisor, hence “’Colecciones de art’ – A.J.’s birth name and ‘+e’ – for Estelle (arte is Spanish for art)” He can be found on Saturdays and Sundays at a studio he shares with his good friend and fellow artist - Jesus Toro Martinez in Lone Star Art Space. Renacer AJ Rodriguez "Renacer seeks to remind us to visit these new parks - born again in places where indigenous natives were expected to interact, talk, play and rest as well. These works reflect the ability we each have to hit that “refresh” button within ourselves." -AJ RODRIGUEZ |
September 2018 - Joe Harjo - One Nation Under
In this exhibition Harjo examines racial oppression and the continuous fight for equity.
"One Nation Under references the effects of centuries of racial oppression, the subsequent generations fighting for equity, and the attitudes that gave rise to it, which are still prevalent today. As people of color, We are One Nation Under represented. We are One Nation Under oppression. We are One Nation Under forced gods. We are One Nation Under _________ ." -Joe Harjo |

September 2018 - Reflection - Curated by Jordyn Patrias - Special Showing in the Lone Star Art Gallery (Next to Dock Space)
"Reflection is a photography exhibit comprised of three San Antonio photographers: Jessica Just, Scott Martin, and Mark Mayfield. Reflection explores the notions of nostalgia, wonder, and contemplation. These sentiments are explored through elements of land, water, nature, and their various connections. Through the exploration of human and animal interactions the viewer can be submersed into not only what each photograph reflects, but their own reflections as well. "

Jessica Just
"I am interested in the juxtaposition of the manmade and with nature. What structures and objects do human hands leave behind, and how might they help us see ourselves differently?" |
Mark Mayfield
"It is my hope that these images preserving brief moments in time might cause you to wonder also at the world we live and share with others.” |
Scott Martin

July 2018 - Adam Rodriguez - Nuestras Misiones
Adam Rodriguez (b. 1971) is a multidisciplinary artist who has worked in photography, sculpture, film/video, and printmaking. He is a graduate of Texas State University and holds a BFA in photography. Rodriguez’s work can be found in a myriad of collections in the United States and abroad, both public and private. He is currently a commercial photographer/videographer and artist, and resides in San Antonio, TX.
Documenting the beauty of the Missions of San Antonio was an easy choice during this tricentennial year. The hard part was deciding how to portray them. These images were made using large format black and white infrared photography. Infrared photography allows for the accentuation of detail while starkly contrasting the subjects to their environments and makes visible, colors that are present but invisible to the naked eye- challenging the notion of a traditional landscape. I used this approach to create a more surreal experience with the hope that the viewer may discover some previously unrecognized elements of the San Antonio Missions, as well as achieve a renewed appreciation for these remarkable structures to which the City of San Antonio owes its existence.

June 2018 - Future Currents: San Antonio from 2038 - 2048
This exhibition is inspired by the successful Common Currents exhibitions that showcased San Antonio from 1718 thru 2018.
That 300 year series had 300 artists who exhibited at six different art venues throughout San Antonio this past Winter;
Each artist responding to a particular year in San Antonio's 300 year history.
Future Currents is the artist's opportunity to help create the future of the city of San Antonio.
Each was assigned a future year to express what San Antonio will be like in that year.

May 2018 - Ovidio Giberga - "Confluence"
Ovidio states, "One of the greatest catalysts of change in our time is global communication or the internet, the modern day "silk trade route", which has touched nearly every culture around the world precipitating change on an unprecedented scale. I perceive this movement or cultural confluence flowing in a manner reminiscent of fluid dynamics; "the behavior of fluids and gasses including flow velocity, pressure, density, and temperature, as functions of space and time."

April 2018 - Paul Karam - "Denominator, No Earth, No Culture"
"The images expressed in this show represent the correlation between societies cultures and its common denominator, EARTH. Every culture should strive on reclaiming the covenant between the two, and that all cultural issues in the past, present and future will not exist until we realize "NO EARTH NO CULTURE." - Paul Karam

Open Source: HERE
Neighborhoods are processes shedding traces of their metamorphosis in time. Evidence of the past and future lives of a place can be detected through scent, sound, touch and light, which as gateways to memory, convene collective meaning about what it means to be “here.”
As San Antonio crosses into its tricentennial year, our city reflects on what being “here” means today, what it has meant historically, and what it might mean for future generations of our community. As urban revitalization quickly cannibalizes spaces of cultural and emotional significance for longtime dwellers, some neighborhoods react by fortifying their narrative while others embrace the uncertainty of change.
Dockspace sits at the intersection of three rapidly changing neighborhoods-- Arsenal, King William and Avendida Guadalupe. Open Source: HERE repurposes the gallery space to embody this change from the perspective of three artists working in different senses-- scent, sound and touch. Each artist will source material for their work from within a one-mile radius of the gallery space itself. Traces of their work, happenings and engagement transform Dockspace into a temporary proxy for the change experienced in real time by the surrounding community.
