Although I am grateful to be working inside again — it doesn’t go unnoticed that the last two summers have been particularly mild…

Do artists in San Antonio know that they can show up to OTHER artists show openings — or exhibitions? Running a project space — I see alot of artists show up for their own shows (important) but not show up for the next ones on the docket. There are a few that do but it’s definitely not the norm..

One cool thing to note about adjuncting is that you’ll be expected to answer emails and fulfill requests, while you’re effectively unemployed — before your contract even starts! 🥳🤑

Hey, so what's it mean when a former terrible boss follows your successful co-op gallery? 👀

As of this week, I’ll have completed my Spring contract as adjunct OLLU— and this is my favorite coffee mug.

WHY IN THE FUCK — is my shitty former co-worker’s partner, sending me a fucking follow request on IG?! Any guesses?

Mark Anthony @markanthony-mfa.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

Do exiting art students in San Antonio even care about exhibiting? You spend so much time in your respective programs, hone your crafts— then don’t have websites, aren’t on socials, don’t show up. Did you go to school just for the fun of it—Is your practice a secret? Did you give up already?

Me and @markanthony-mfa.bsky.social have recorded Episode 4 of our weekly Evangelion podcast that we've been recording now for a year and a half. I'm glad we are building up a buffer, lmao. We'll start releasing in a couple of weeks, hopefully!

Used to play a game just like “shell shock” in high school. I think it was called “pocket tanks” — it was very addictive 💥

Avoid the curators that make you feel like strangers in your studio. They’re not worth it.

Amongst other issues: lot of folks out there need to familiarize themselves with the “courtesy flush” These are ‘public’ facilities for Christ sake.

Thinking back on when I used to memorize phone numbers— I reconnected w/ a friend from elementary bc he remembered my parent’s landline. We had a # ending in “1964” and my friend told me the only reason he remembered is bc my # reminded him of NINTENDO 64. That’s the only reason I remembered then!

Sike — im actually curating 2 shows this month 🥹

Assemblages Assemble, 2025

Assemblages Assemble is a group exhibition highlighting artists within our community who create assemblage based artworks: turning junk, scraps and detritus into fine art.

Assemblage, as a medium, also serves as an interesting metaphor for the collection of unique individuals that make up our own community. The inclusion of disparate items, individuals and groupings begin to tell stories of their own. Thirteen different artists have come together to present works that range from narrative in presentation to others that are deliberately abstract.

Assemblages Assemble features works by: Allysha Farmer, Cindy Palmer, Ed Escobedo Jr., Emma Garcia, Hannah Celeste Garrison, Hannah Nino Harris, Hannah Strobel, Jo Perez, JW King, Mark Anthony Martinez, Megan Bynum, Nancy Casanova, Tim Olson.

Opening Reception: 7–10pm Saturday November 8.
Closing Reception: 12–6pm Saturday November 22.
Exhibition Closes: Saturday November 29.
Otherwise open by appointment.

inordinate, 2025

Inordinate is a group show featuring three artists illustrating the unquestioned normalcy of militarism within everyday life and the inordinate psychological space weapons take up in the civilian imagination. Through references to various weaponry, from small arms munitions to bombs and missiles, this show alludes to the cost, trauma and banality of it all.

Through highlighting ammunition, the exhibition creates a prism in which to parse out the differing ways militarism seeps into our collective subconscious. A subconscious informed by the doom scroll, the 24 hour newscycle, action movies and first person shooters; where power fantasies and fears alike run rampant.

While death and glory may be the superficial goal of any conflict: munitions are the seeds that warfare sows, leaving only destruction behind. Inordinate features works by Verena Gaudy and new works by Edward Perez and Mark Anthony Martinez.

Opening Reception: 7–10pm Saturday November 8.
Closing Reception: 12–6pm Saturday November 22.
Exhibition Closes: Saturday November 29.
Otherwise open by appointment.
