The genesis of Interval, curated by Hills Snyder, came from an email exchange between Snyder and LA artist Poppy Coles. Coles describes a show of hers: “The idea was about the performance of the artwork and the action of waiting for something to happen.” The works of the six artists in Interval, at Ruiz-Healy in San Antonio, articulate and visualize the charged space of such pre-action. This is a vibrant and ancient concept: the Bhagavad-Gita takes place before an epic battle, a treatise on “right action.” Think of all the movies that drop the sound off and go slow-mo (most memorably in Heat and Boogie Nights); all the best music that leans back before the break. The works in Interval present the world of this feeling with an eccentric, psychedelic boldness. One could easily imagine a show titled Interval featuring only minimal, abstract works and an exhibition statement that begins: “Intervals are completely blank.” But Snyder’s show posits intervals as a multi-dimensional cosmic expanse of limitless aesthetics.
