2024 Texas Biennial

K Space Contemporary is honored to serve as an exhibition host for the prestigious 2024 Texas Biennial. K Space Contemporary will display a group exhibition entitled "Seeding Soil" in our Starr Gallery, as well as an installation by Alexandra Robinson in the Project Space. The exhibitions will open with ArtWalk on Friday, September 6, from 6 to 10 pm and continue through October 4, 2024.

The Texas Biennial is a geographically-led, independent survey of contemporary art in Texas. The program was founded in 2005 by Austin nonprofit Big Medium to provide an exhibition opportunity open to all artists living and working in the state. The Texas Biennial is the longest-running state biennial in the country. Since its inception, the program has brought the work of over 300 artists to new audiences, springboarding many artists’ careers and underscoring the diversity of contemporary practice in Texas.

Now in its eighth edition, the 2024 Texas Biennial is co-curated through a collaborative and non-hierarchical approach by Erika Mei Chua Holum – Assistant Curator at the Blaffer Art Museum at the University of Houston, Ashley DeHoyos Sauder – Curator at DiverseWorks in Houston, and Coka Treviño – Curator of The Projecto and Curator and Director of Programming at Big Medium in Austin. With trifold dreams and visions, the co-curators selected works and artist projects through an open call and invitations.

Presented across venues along the Texas Gulf Coast, the 2024 Texas Biennial activates amorphous and overlapping forms of cultural production–performance, cultural preservation, and visual art–shaped and cross-pollinated by collectives and community participation. Through this survey of contemporary art, we looked to artistic acts of continuance and survival.
