ArtPace Announces the Opening of

New Works: 95.2

Three Artists' Installations from its International Artist-In-Residence Program

The Pace Roberts Foundation for Contemporary Art was established by San Antonio
native Linda Pace Roberts in 1993 to serve as an advocate of contemporary art and as a
catalyst for the creation of significant art projects. The Foundation seeks to expose the
San Antonio community to diverse media and trends in contemporary art. "Our goal is to
become a research facility in the visual arts," says Pace Roberts. "We want to encourage
individual experimentation and exploration while helping to promote dialogue about
contemporary art in San Antonio."

ArtPace, which has housed the International Artist-In-Residence Program since
January 1995, is a 15,000 square foot facility in downtown San Antonio, Texas. Located
at 445 North Main Avenue, ArtPace was renovated by the San Antonio firm, Lake/Flato
Architects, Inc. The building contains Foundation offices, three large art
studio/exhibition spaces, two apartments, and extensive support facilities for visiting
artists. Programming for the space was formulated after consulting with leaders
throughout the art world including representatives from Capp Street Project, San
Francisco, and the Dia Center for the Arts, New York.

New Works: 95.2 will include Tracey Moffatt, Sydney, Australia, Jun
Nguyen-Hatsushiba, Dallas, TX and Joseph E. Daun, San Antonio, TX.
Moffatt, an acclaimed film-maker and photographer, will be presenting a new series of
photographs which explore issues of sex, glamour, and violence. Ngyuen-Hatsushiba's
work will consist of two installations utilizing rice, the dried remains of fruits and
vegetables, and documentary photographs. The work addresses the AIDS epidemic as
well as notions of temporality. Daun will explore ritual and technology with the
construction of a large bun-making machine and a series of smaller related pieces.

These artists were selected for participation in the International Artist-In-Residence
Program in 1994, when the Pace Roberts Foundation convened a panel of arts
professionals to choose artists for the 1995-1996 residencies. Panel members included
Richard Koshalek, Director of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, Mary
Beebe, Director of the Stuart Collection, the University of California, San Diego,
Anthony Jones, Rector and Vice-Provost, the Royal College of Art, London, Lowery
Sims, Associate Curator of 20th Century Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New
York, Benito Huerta, Independent Critic and Artist, Houston, and Dianne Vanderlip,
Curator of 20th Century Art, Denver Art Museum. The panel considered nearly three
hundred artists from thirty-nine countries and the United States who were nominated by
over one hundred seventy-five contemporary curators, collectors, and other art
professionals worldwide. They chose twenty-one artists who have been invited by the
Foundation to participate in the International Artist-In-Residence Program over the next
two years.

New Works: 95:2 will open on Saturday, April 29, 1995. There will be a reception
for the artists from 12:00 noon to 5:00 p.m. The show will continue through June 4, 1995,
Wednesday through Sunday, noon to 5:00 p.m.
