SAN ANTONIO, TX.- Linda Pace Foundation announces its fall 2017 exhibition, INCITE, featuring a dynamic selection of works from the Foundation’s extensive collection of contemporary art. The exhibition includes works by Chuck Ramirez, Hills Snyder, Frances Stark, Diana Thater and Cheyney Thompson. Rivane Neuenschwander’s room sized installation Secondary Stories will remain on view.

Themes of whimsy and ephemerality connect the selected artworks on exhibit in INCITE. At first glance, they give an impression of light-hearted simplicity, as brightly colored depictions of confetti balls, pom poms and piñatas attract viewers and provoke a feeling of festivity. Yet, when looked at in depth, layers of more complex themes emerge alluding to the temporary nature of these ordinary objects. The element of chaos versus order lingers as well when the viewer encounters the interactions between honeybees in a multicolored hexagonal beehive in Diana Thater’s video installation, while complimenting the indiscriminate dance of the Secondary Stories confetti. The artworks selected for this exhibition vary in process and medium and include installation art, video, collage, painting and photography.

The Foundation joins the McNay in celebrating the art of Chuck Ramirez this fall. The McNay is presenting Chuck Ramirez: All this and Heaven Too, which opens to the public on September 14, 2017. The exhibition at the McNay is supported in part by a grant from the Foundation, an indication of its commitment to San Antonio's cultural heritage and the artists that Linda Pace championed.

The Foundation is presenting free programs in conjunction with this exhibition, which include a community art making workshop with Spare Parts on Saturday September 30, 2017 and a concert in CHRISpark with KRTU FM 91.7 Trinity University on Saturday October 20, 2017.
