“Hieroglyphs,” Linda Pace Foundation
Dear San Antonio: Thank you for giving us Linda Pace. Recently I had the pleasure of visiting the Linda Pace Foundation for the second time. It’s a gem that more people should seek access to, and (cross your fingers) will soon have its own public building. For now, the foundation houses the collection of its founder Linda Pace in her former home and personal gallery.

Interview: Shahzia Sikander by Kate Green
The Last Post, 2010
Artist Shahzia Sikander, best known for her contemporary take on the Indo-Persian tradition of miniature painting, was born in Pakistan and is based in New York City but has several Texas connections. Shortly after completing her MFA at the Rhode Island School of Design in 1995, she was a Core Fellow at the Glassell School of Art at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston and in 2001 she was a resident artist at Artpace San Antonio. Currently, her animated video The Last Post is on view, along with several drawings, at the Linda Pace Foundation. Recently, via email, she fielded my questions about her process, work, and a performance that was presented in conjunction with The Last Post during its opening in San Antonio.

During the screening at the Linda Pace Foundation, Yun, who received her PhD from Harvard, performed her original composition that accompanies Sikander’s animated paintings and drawings.

Review of Adam Schreiber by Kate Green
Untitled (kitchen), 2012
Some photographers manage to explore and define their subjects at the same time. Such nuance is at play in “FLANAGAN - TIRAVANIJA,” an exhibition of ten photographs, which Adam Schreiber was commissioned to shoot in the home of the late collector, artist, and philanthropist Linda Pace. Schreiber is skilled at using his medium to isolate cultural material--from car parts to archives--and this makes him a wise choice to examine the Linda Pace Foundation’s holdings. He creates photographs that are earthly and ethereal, and that observe as they describe...

At 10 a.m. Sunday morning, a rumpled and unshaven man sat on the pavement of the sunny patio of the main branch of the San Antonio Public Library, his back to the ethereal, baubly spectacle emerging on the other side of the windowpanes. The entrance doors were locked - “It don’t open up till 11,” the guy informed me - but through the glass I could see the people installing “Days,” Jesse Amado’s tribute to Linda Pace, who would have turned 65 this April 17...

CHRISpark receives Honor Award for landscaping
In the late 1980s, Linda Pace started a landscape business in San Antonio called Green Expectations. For seven years, Linda channeled her desire to create art into designing lawns and landscapes. She relished the work because it allowed her to focus on design principles and the natural world. Therefore, Linda would have been especially proud that Jon Ahrens and Rosa Finley, the landscape architects who worked with Linda in 2002 to design CHRISpark were selected in March 2010 by the Texas chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects for an honor award for their professional achievement on CHRISpark. The park, once an asphalt parking lot, is now an inviting natural space with a unique mix of plants, terrain and artwork. It has inspired green building development in San Antonio and brought nature back to life on the southern edge of downtown.

Perhaps because she didn't pursue her passion until later in life, Linda Pace threw herself into the art world with a fiery intensity.
