¡Oye, Mira!
Reflective Approaches in Contemporary Latin American Video Art
April 19 - June 8, 2013
Opening Reception: Friday, April 19, 6–9pm
(Live performances 8-9pm)
Curated by Tony Labat
¡Oye, Mira!: Reflective Approaches in Contemporary Latin American Video Art brings together a selection of artists from Latin America who use video as a tool of reflection and contemplation, exploring relationships of identity to site, history, and memory. These artists play an important role as mediators in the geo-political landscape, seeking to place their work within the context of place/site and the intersection of high culture and daily life. In the featured works, materiality, form, and concept come together in an expression of each artist’s personal values and experience of the world. These range from place-specific issues of social justice and political oppression to the universal concerns of love and family.
Participating artists:
Edgardo Aragón (Mexico)
Alexandre Arrechea (Cuba)
Miguel Calderón (Mexico)
Sergio De La Torre (Mexico)
Humberto Diaz (Cuba)
Felipe Dulzaides (Cuba)
Ana Teresa Fernandez (Mexico)
Luis Gárciga (Cuba)
Claudia Joskowicz (Bolivia)
leonardogillesfleur (Argentina)
Julio Cesar Morales (Mexico)
Yoshua Okon (Mexico)
Eamon Ore-Giron (Peru)
During the opening reception from 8-9 there will be a live performance from Los Jaichackers (Spanglish for The Hijackers), a collaboration between artists Eamon Ore-Giron (based in Los Angeles) and Julio Cesar Morales (based in San Francisco and Phoenix). Functioning as a creative consultancy as well as an artistic collaboration, Los Jaichackers produce music, film, sculpture, installation, performance, and music videos as well as curate programs enlisting the talents of bands, guest lecturers, and performers with the goal of tracing the global DNA of emerging musical subcultures in Latin America, the border, the United States, and abroad.
