Art Exhibit

"sit with it"
an exhibition by Michael Anthony García

The 4th Floor at the Trinity St Playhouse, 901 Trinity St. Austin, TX 78701

EXHIBITION ON VIEW: September 22nd 2025-January 3rd 2026

Michael Anthony García’s site-specific installation, sit with it, invites viewers to take time to smell the (not so) rosey state of the world to consider our complicity and potential paths toward alleviating the suffering in the world around us. Pulling from the only silver lining we walked away from the COVID-19 Pandemic with, García’s work asks the viewer to take time to put our attention to our position within the community and just sit with it.

ARTIST: Michael Anthony García is an Austin-based interdisciplinary artist originally from El Paso, Texas, holding dual Mexican and U.S. citizenship. His work spans photography, video, sculpture, installation, performance, and poetry. He earned an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and co-founded the Los Outsiders curatorial collective. His work has appeared in the 2011 and 2024 Texas Biennials and at institutions including the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art, Experimental Action, The Contemporary Austin, SoundSpace at the Blanton Museum, El Museo de la Ciudad de México, and ThreeWalls in Chicago. As a curator, García has led projects for Mexic-Arte Museum, Texas State University Galleries, and Fusebox Festival.
