HOUSTON, September 13, 2021 — On September 7, 2021, Asia Society Texas brought together two of the featured artists from Artists on Site Series 2 for a webcast highlighting the second iteration of the residency project. Preetika Rajgariah and Stevie Spurgin started off the night with short presentations highlighting their work. The artists were then joined in conversation by moderators Brandon Tho Harris and Bridget Bray for a wide-ranging conversation touching on identity, the body, and materiality.

About Artists on Site
The Artists on Site project was developed in 2020 as an initiative that transforms the galleries into studio and project spaces for Houston-based artists. The idea was born out of conversations starting in early 2020 with many artists, both in Houston and throughout the country, to develop ways that Asia Society Texas could support them and their practices. Through the gallery presentations and related programs, programs will have the opportunity to connect with these artists and the critically important insights they contribute.
This project is organized by Asia Society Texas. Exhibitions and their related programs at Asia Society Texas are presented by Nancy C. Allen, Chinhui Juhn and Eddie Allen, and Leslie and Brad Bucher. Major support comes from The Brown Foundation, Inc., Houston Endowment, and the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance. Generous funding also provided by The Anchorage Foundation of Texas, The Clayton Fund, Texas Commission on the Arts, National Endowment for the Arts, Wortham Foundation, Inc., and Agnes Hsu-Tang, Ph.D. and Oscar L. Tang. United Airlines is our official airline partner. Funding is also provided through contributions from the Exhibitions Patron Circle, a dedicated group of individuals and organizations committed to bringing exceptional visual art to Asia Society Texas.
