Michael Anthony García
Radical Synergy

Radical Synergy is Michael Anthony García's continued exploration of new territories in his practice, which started with the 2024 exhibition Agua Gusgo at The Projecto in Austin, TX. It reflects on the immediacy (and lingering) of information, the uniqueness of our experiences, and the perceived reality of the world around us. Shaped by his identities and observed through a personal lens, Radical Synergy combines remembered interactions and occurrences seeking to peek around the edge of our collective perception. Through child's play in the form of art making using everyday objects, video as memory and performance, García questions and challenges even his own ingrained readings of reality.

This exhibition is presented in partnership with the 2024 Texas Biennial by Big Medium.

Multidisciplinary artist & independent curator Michael Anthony García, claiming both Mexican and US citizenship, is based in Austin, TX. He predominantly focuses his practices around photography/video, sculpture/installation, performance and poetry. He is a founding member of Los Outsiders curatorial collective & has curated large-scale exhibitions of international artists, in and out of the US. Notably, he has had solo curatorial projects for Mexic-arte Museum, Texas State University Galleries, the gallery at the Austin Central Public Library, and Fusebox Festival. He participated in the 2011 and 2024 Texas Biennials and has won awards both for his curatorial and 3D work.
