Contemporary Art Month (CAM) 2025 Perennial exhibition, The Inbetweenness, curated by Marisa Sage. In partnership with the UTSA Southwest Campus, the 2025 perennial will feature artists Huakai Chen, Brittany Ham, Gabi Magaly, Bella Martinez, Josie Norris and Jorge Villarreal, and will be on view in the Russell Hill Rogers Galleries in the Santikos building from March 22–April 12, 2025. The opening reception information will be announced in the coming weeks.
In her curatorial statement, Sage told CAM, “In an ever-evolving world where boundaries—be they linguistic, cultural, material, or conceptual—are increasingly fluid, artists working with translations and transformations within their practice embody a spirit of inquiry and alchemy. Translation is not merely the conversion of one language into another, but a process of negotiation, rupture, and reinvention. Likewise, transformation speaks to a metamorphosis: the reconfiguring of form, personhood, meaning, and perception.
The artists featured in this exhibition engage with these concepts as both method and metaphor. Through scale and process experiments they grapple with the movement of ideas across mediums, histories, and identities. Some address translation as a mode of cultural dialogue, exploring themes of displacement, migration, and hybridity. Others see transformation as a visceral act, turning materials—be they physical or conceptual—into sites of possibility and renewal.”
The CAM perennial exhibition was introduced in 2012 with the goal to connect San Antonio contemporary artists with curators around the world. For over a decade, this exhibition has served as an important bridge between San Antonio's artistic community and the global contemporary art scene. Through carefully curated exhibitions that highlight diverse perspectives and practices, the perennial has become a cornerstone of Contemporary Art Month's mission to elevate and celebrate San Antonio's contemporary art scene. CAM is thrilled to continue this tradition for the 2025 perennial exhibition.
