ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

Corporeal Landscapes is an exploration of space with regard to the body. Site-specific installations and performances that manipulate audience perspectives of the contemporary landscape as augmented precepts act as points of engagement, dictating how the audience moves through space. Corporeal Landscapes is produced through equal parts research, narrative devices, mysticism and experimentation.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Jared Flores “A lot of my work tends to thrive on spontaneity, whether it be in bands, collaborations or me just sitting in a room with some instruments. Throwing myself constantly at things I don’t understand in order to make myself uncomfortable is my greatest way to learn. It is in better terms adaptation and willingness to learn from my environments and relationships with people. Pushing myself to learn more about most things.”

Nicole Geary “My artwork operates on the structured methodologies that connect geological theories to the concept of memory, and tie the emotional realm to the scientific. I look for ways in which the earth’s history reflects itself and its characteristics, like that of the human body, into layers and in fossils. These deep records tell us stories about ourselves, and the connection that we share with our landscapes.  Responding to place and the environment around me, my practice is imbued with the process of scientific investigation, which thrives on inquiry, collection of data and analyzation. My work as a printmaker and a sculptor has been shaped by the concept of deep time, and a combination of interests including geological formations, stratigraphy and the body. My research activities include feminist art and labor, heterotopias, space and uniformitarianism as it applies to human memory.”

Barbara Miñarro was born in Monterrey, Mexico, and currently lives and works in San Antonio, Texas. As an artist influenced by—and making a life between—two cultures, Miñarro’s work explores ideas of the body in migration. Her soft sculptures, installations and paintings utilize the tactile memory of clothing, the earth and the physical body to express the emotional journey of immigration. Miñarro was recently selected to participate in the 2018 CAM Perennial at Artpace. Later this fall she will have a solo exhibition at Sweet Briar College in Virginia. 

Veronica Anne Salinas is an intermedia artist and writer. Her practice explores soundscapes, performance, improvisation, installation, field recordings, electronics and writing with themes of feminist and Latina identity, ritual, mysticism, landscape/cityscape and fairy tales. She is an MFA candidate in the sound program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. 

ABOUT HOMEBASE

Homebase is an interdisciplinary event series curated by Rebekah Hurst and Jacob Bissell. Established as a pop-up gallery in 2017, Homebase hosts exhibitions at various venues around San Antonio, showcasing works by new, emerging and established artists. In each exhibition, Homebase invites two new media and two artists based in experimental sound practices to create site-specific installations and performances, providing a platform for art that is not readily commodifiable.
