An artist residency program based in San Antonio, Texas, ArtPace's goal is to give artists time and space in which to imagine new ways to work. Each year, nine artists (three from Texas, three from other areas of the United States, and three from abroad) are invited to the foundation to create new work. Selected by guest curators the likes of Robert Storr and Okwui Enwezor, the list of artists who have undertaken residencies at ArtPace is impressive, prescient, and diverse, including Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Annette Messager, Tracey Moffatt, Xu Bing, Nancy Rubins, Cornelia Parker, IOigo Manglano-Ovalle, Glenn Ligon, Kendell Geers, Carolee Schneemann, Mona Hatoum, Isaac Julien, Arturo Herrera, and Christian Jankowski. Dreaming Red includes illustrations of all the works created at ArtPace since its inception, an essay by art historian Eleanor Heartney, short essays on selected artists by the guest curators, including CuauhtEmoc Medina , Lynne Cooke, Chrissie Iles, and Judith Russi Kirshner, and a lengthy essay on the personal history of the foundation and its founder. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Art as HealingThis is an unusual and fascinating book. The author is very open about personal tragedies and then explains how the interaction with the artists at ArtPace has been curative and mind expanding. The art is of the most edgy, but the author is clear about the thinking behind the images and the processes. The photos are beautiful, the book is a treat to look at and to think about. It should appeal to any thoughtful person and give contemporary art scoffers something to ponder.
