    JANUARY

    119 W. Lachapelle, San Antonio South Flores Arts District

    “I did it to myself,” a solo exhibition, featuring new installation based work by Mark Anthony Martinez.

It is a conversation most dramatically foregrounded by the unceasing “doom scroll,” perniciously provided by algorithms across social media platforms. The work will employ the use of text, sculpture and original multimedia works to convey the tensions present within the artist’s day to day.
