RCA's award of $9,000 per year for the biennium will support marketing and advertising to promote the still-new Rockport Art Loop initiative.

Sarah Ayala, Raul Rodriguez, Lingchia Tsai, and Blake Weld were selected to the program from 20 qualified submissions.

The award also includes a solo exhibition at Big Medium, Austin in the spring of 2020.

The inaugural show, titled FLASH COLLECTION, features the works of 20 of the region's artists — many names familiar to Glasstire readers — and is curated by Shogan and GD Wright.

"My goal was to pick an orchestra of works that provide an international, intergenerational, and intersectional exchange of artists who are working to redefine the constructs of performance art and identity." 

The panelists are Kyle Hobratschk and Travis LaMothe of 100 West Corsicana; Emily Riggert and Rachel Rushing, co-directors at Sunset Art Studios, and Tamara Johnson and Trey Burns of Sweet Pass Sculpture Park.

The partnership of the Houston's Mayor's Office of Cultural Affairs, Houston Arts Alliance (HAA), and the Houston Airport System (HAS) selected a combination of existing works from the artists, as well as art commissioned specifically for Terminal C.

Both of these shows speak to the slippery and amorphous nature of systems, how they replicate and cannibalize their opposition.
