Sala Diaz, an artist directed exhibition space, has provided an experimental
venue for San Antonio artists since 1995. Our goals have been to provide artists
with a space for projects of their own choosing and to stimulate new curators
with an annual show conceived by a guest.
Strayplex: Jeff McMillan and Tracey Snelling
This project is the eighth in a series of two artist exhibitions built on the
idea of duplex as exemplified by the double room layout of the Sala Diaz space,
which is itself half of a duplex. In this case, the concept will be imported
to the warehouse environs of The Stray Show in Chicago. The two artists Jeff
McMillan and Tracey Snelling, will each provide an architectural reference.
The curator’s strategy for the Duplex Series is based on the notion of
easy does it as
noted on an index card tucked inside a tattered copy of The Joy of Cooking,
which was found on the street outside
Handy Andy, a grocery store near the gallery. The concept as outlined on the
card is to carefully select artists that will likely produce intriguing combinations,
then stand back and see what happens.

Constance Lowe and Callida Borgnino
