The third iteration of CAMH’s Right Here, Right Now series focuses on 19 artists and artist collectives living and working in San Antonio, Texas. The artworks brought together in Right Here, Right Now: San Antonio attest to the richness of the city’s creative community. Rather than attempting to provide a generalized, lay-of-the-land exhibition—which is a fraught notion—Right Here, Right Now: San Antonio instead looks to the rich dialogues that are possible when extraordinary artworks are brought together in constellation.

Performance | VERTEX with Sain...
Saintlorraine—the collaborative duo of Britt Lorraine and Kristy Perez—will present their performance and drawing installation VERTEX in Right Here, Right Now: San Antonio during the opening reception. As a performer repeatedly tries to force herself into the corner of two walls covered with abstract drawings, the performance becomes an extension of the drawing process and pushes the limits of the drawings. The verticality of bodies is pitted against the horizontality of landscape. The performer faces a corner in the gallery and begins to draw from her inner vocabulary to perform a series of movements, if the performer moves toward the corner the dowel across her shoulders comes in contact with the walls making a sound and a mark on the walls. The performer reacts, improvising based on her inability to move freely and beyond the vertex. This experimental work explores the continual crossroads that individuals come to in life and how such moments may force us to proceed one way or another.
