SAN ANTONIO, TX.- Artpace San Antonio announced the artists selected for its Fall 2026 International Artist-in-Residence program. Selected by guest curator Rigoberto Luna, the three residents are Irene Antonia Diane Reece (Houston, Texas), Roksana Pirouzmand (Los Angeles, California), and Chavis Mármol (Mexico City, Mexico).

Working across photography, sculpture, and performance, each artist engages questions of power, identity, and collective memory through material and cultural interventions. The artists will be in residence from July 27 to September 20, 2026, with exhibitions on view from September 17, 2026, to January 17, 2027

Irene Antonia Diane Reece identifies as a contemporary artist and visual activist. The topics surrounding her work are the African diaspora, social injustice, family histories, re-memory, and community health. Her practice continues by decentralizing the white gaze in photography and confronting the violence of the camera by paying homage to Black Southern pride, centering the fluidity of the Black identity, and protecting the Black archives.

Previous shows include FREIZE No.9 Cork Street (London, UK), FOTODOK (Utrecht, Netherlands), Lawndale Art Center (Houston, TX), and Dak’Art: La Biennale de Dakar (Dakar, SN). Reece is a grant recipient for the 2025 PhMuseum Women Photographers Grant. Her work has been featured in TIME Magazine, NYT, Aperture, Atlanta Center for Photography, Vogue, Art Papers, OVER Journal, Hyperallergic, and FOAM Magazine. Additionally, contributions to The Photographer’s Green Book, ProPublica, and the ‘You Are Your Best Thing’ Anthology by Tarana Burke and Brené Brown.

Roksana Pirouzmand is a multidisciplinary artist currently living and working in Los Angeles. While performance art is at the core of her practice, her ideas have materialized in mediums such as sculpture, installation, and two-dimensional imagery. In her pieces, personal experiences are incorporated into installation systems that suggest the possibility of transformation, deterioration, and movement through interactions between the artist, her work, and the audience.

Pirouzmand received a BFA from California Institute of the Arts in 2017 and an MFA from UCLA in 2022. She has exhibited at François Ghebaly, New York (2024); Spurs Gallery, Beijing (2024); Vernacular Institute, Mexico City (2024); Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2023); Murmurs, Los Angeles (2022); Del Vaz Projects, Los Angeles (2022); Guest House, Inglewood, California (2022); Make Room, Los Angeles (2022); Simon Lee Gallery, London (2022); Grand Central Art Center, Santa Ana, California (2021); REDCAT, Los Angeles (2020); and The Box, Los Angeles (2019).

A 4x4 all-terrain artist, his work assembles, translates, and transplants diverse iconic figures from popular culture, the art field, and the collective imaginary.

These operations, often charged with humor and critique, allow him to comment on, affect, and provoke within the specific context where he operates — Mexico City — on personal, social, and political levels. Mármol tackles a wide range of sculptural techniques and materials in his work (stone, wood, metal, clay, resin, textiles, organic waste, etc.), frequently combined with performative acts that unfold in the city's public space.

He has participated in diverse national and international exhibitions, including the Fundación Juan March in Madrid and Mallorca, Museo Jumex in Mexico City, Museo Anahuacalli, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Chile, UNAM's Bienal de Arte Universitario, Bienal de Arte Emergente de Monterrey, and Bienal Internacional de Arte Universitario del Estado de México.

He is currently a member of the Sistema Nacional de Creadores del Arte (SNCA) and winner of the Premio Gorrita Azul Artista promesa. His work has been published in media outlets such as El País México, La jornada, Noir Magazine, Hyperallergic, El Economista, MVS, The Guardian, Times of India, This is Beirut, Gznodo Australia, Hypebeat, and Artishok, among many others.

He founded the art and design production workshop Todo Woooow, where he has collaborated with over 50 artists, producing work for national and international museums and galleries, including Museo Tamayo, Museo Eco, and Museo Jumex in Mexico City, the Thyssen Bornemisza in Madrid, and the New Museum in New York.
