Chuck Ramirez,In the fall of 2019, San Antonio got a new cultural landmark in Ruby City — a world-class contemporary art space dedicated to showcasing the sprawling collection of late local artist, philanthropist and Artpace founder Linda Pace, who died in 2007.
"I remember thinking ... this makes me think of Linda Pace," she recalled."Because Linda Pace is such a presence in our life here — the way we think about our mission, and just as our founder in general. But also, of course, she's not here." For one of his earliest projects, Ramirez glued thrift-store tchotchkes to Styrofoam meat trays, shrink-wrapped them and priced them with equipment available to him through his day job as a graphic designer at H-E-B. Propped up on a shelf, two of these Ramirez relics —— serve as poignant reminders of the late local legend's unique talent and wicked wit.
Born in San Antonio and based in Houston, Dario Robleto is well-known for projects exploring the natural world, science, DJ culture and outer space. For his 2010 print, Robleto removed late music icons — Patsy Cline, Bob Marley and Marvin Gaye among them — from live album covers and created a composite image of only stage lights. The result suggests a cosmic photo captured by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.
Based between New York and Berlin, Nina Katchadourian has been staging photographs of book collections since 1993 and was invited to capture Pace's in 2002. Mixing books from her public and personal shelves, Katchadourian photographed the spines in a way that suggests poems or haikus. One reads,"Cinderella / Four in the Morning / Dreaming / Stretching / Recovering / Waiting.", 2021.
