By combining various methodologies such as formal analysis, visual analysis, and critical biography, I will underscore the significance of Luis Jiménez’s art in 21st century American art. Jiménez’s art functions autobiographically; particular moment in his life affected his art in many ways. His time in Mexico City, New York, and Rome are a few pivotal moments that shifted the focus of his art and encouraged him to return to the Southwest where his controversial art was created. My methodological approach is based on a concept I call borderlands visual theory. This methodological practice will consist of a social history of art with close attention to content, context, and connoisseurship. An interdisciplinary method that will facilitate the research design of my project, borderlands visual theory explains the theories and methods of Jiménez’s contemporary artistic practices. Rooted in vi histories of oppression and suffering, borderlands visual theory emerges within a framework of purpose, resourcefulness, and an “against the grain,” anti-border mentality. Grounding my analysis of Jiménez within a larger discussion about American and Chicana/o art will underscore the effective methods Jiménez employed to reach a diverse audience. Jiménez’s artworks offer an innovative conceptualization of aesthetics and cultural identity and critically examine regional and national politics. He offers an understanding about American art that is hybrid, differential, and contingent, rather than pure or monolithic. By examining Jiménez’s artwork within the rubric of borderlands visual theory, I will offer a more fruitful discussion about his resourceful, innovative, and multidimensional practice that contemporary writings about him neglect. Differentiated by his style politics and motivated by his sociocultural interventions, Jiménez authored unique methods that engage with the issues of his time. My project will illuminate various moments of artistic intervention that situate Jiménez within a larger, and arguably a more appropriate, discussion about American art. Luis Jiménez was a titan in the art world; his monumental sculptures and poignant lithographs reveal his commitment for a shared humanity as well as provide a platform for his social and artistic agendas. Jiménez created works of art that combined formal artistic practices with Chicana/o vernacular aesthetics. In addition, Jiménez’s incorporation of classical themes and remarkable attention to form situate his art in distinguished academic categories of sculpture and American art. His innovative use of fiberglass materials and archetypal themes position his unique vii perspective within formalized discussions in art history. The magnitude of Jiménez’s artwork has not been thoroughly documented; because of his ability to cross over into the American art scene, this project will trace out the significant factors that enabled him to cross borders historically closed off to artists of color. viii Table of Contents Introduction ................................................................................................................ 1 Chapter 1 Borderlands Visual Theory: An American Framework ............................. 6 History as Epistemology .................................................................................. 8 Theory & Pedagogy ...................................................................................... 14 Methodologies: Past, Present, and Future .................................................... 22 Figures .......................................................................................................... 33 Works Cited ................................................................................................... 36 Chapter 2 Biography: Luis Jiménez’s America ...................................................... 39 Figures .......................................................................................................... 69 Works Cited ................................................................................................... 72 Chapter 3 Myth & Monument in Old Town Albuquerque: Southwest Pietà and the War of Presiding Histories ............................................................................. 74 Memory ......................................................................................................... 75 History ........................................................................................................... 80 Whose Southwest Pietà? .............................................................................. 90 One Image, Many Meanings ....................................................................... 104 Figures ........................................................................................................ 112 Works Cited ................................................................................................. 120 Chapter 4 The Campus of Enchantment: Challenging Tricultural Harmony in an Institutional Setting through Fiesta Jarabe .................................................. 126 A Not So Enchanting Land... ....................................................................... 129 A Walking Tour of Campus Art .................................................................... 142 ix Fiesta Jarabe and the Larger Context ......................................................... 159 Figures ........................................................................................................ 163 Works Cited ................................................................................................. 169 Chapter 5 A Saint or “Illegal Alien”?

  • A Queer Chicana/O Ethics of Representation Rasquache Camp in the Novels of Rechy and Luna Lemus
    A Queer Chicana/o Ethics of Representation Rasquache Camp in the Novels of Rechy and Luna Lemus Jason A. Bartles Abstract: This essay places into dialogue two queer Chicana/o novels, John Rechy’s City of Night (1963) and Felicia Luna Lemus’s Trace Elements of Random Tea Parties (2003), in order to explore their common aesthetic sensibility. This sensibility is what I call rasquache camp, a stance that arises from the complex entanglement of rasquachismo’s utilitarian aspects of making do and the funky irreverence of camp, without resulting in a dialectical sublation between the two. This essay intervenes in the recent debates on the appropriateness of using rasquachismo as a tool for studying (queer) Chicana/o cultural productions. Informed by rasquache camp, I contend that these two novels develop and employ an ethics of representing marginalized queer and Chicana/o subjects who face insurmountable adversity by overturning the paradigms of morality and literary value, not from idealized, theoretical stances but by making use of imperfect, often cobbled-together solutions. As the future-oriented projects of these novels come to a close, both texts consciously fail to achieve their goals, but this failure allows the future to remain open to new and better aesthetic and ethical interventions by others. Forty years separates the publication of John Rechy’s City of Night (1963) and Felicia Luna Lemus’s Trace Elements of Random Tea Parties (2003). This period saw important developments in the cultural history of Chicana/o and queer peoples, including the rise of the Chicano civil rights movement, the Stonewall riots, and the increasing visibility of literature, art, and criticism by and about queer Chicana/os, with the groundbreaking publication of acclaimed works by Gloria Anzaldúa and Cherríe Moraga.

  • From a Grain of Mustard Seed by Cynthia Davis
    FROM A GRAIN OF MUSTARD SEED BY CYNTHIA DAVIS ISBN 978-0-557-02763-7 THE MUSTARD SEED IS PLANTED 1872-1882 The seed that became St. John’s Episcopal Cathedral was found in the hearts of the small group of faithful Episcopalians who settled in Albuquerque. As a minority of the population, the Anglos found comfort in the familiarity of reading the 1789 Book of Common Prayer, the King James Bible, and the Calvary Cathechism. Very likely they followed the mandate in the Prayer Book stating, “The Psalter shall be read through once every month, as it is there appointed, both for Morning and for Evening Prayer.”i Under the strong spiritual direction of the Rev. Henry Forrester, both St. John’s and missions around the District would be planted, land purchased, and churches built. Other seeds were being planted in Albuquerque. Various denominations built churches in the midst of the homes where the new arrivals lived. Members could easily walk to the church of their choice. Many corner lots were taken up with small places of worship. Some Anglos attended the Methodist church built of adobe in 1880 at Third and Lead. Dr. Sheldon Jackson, established First Presbyterian Church in 1880. A one-room church was built at Fifth and Silver two years later under Rev. James Menaul. It was enlarged in 1905, and after a fire in 1938, the building was rebuilt and improved. (In 1954 it moved to 215 Locust.)ii St. Paul’s Lutheran Church was not built until 1891 at Sixth and Silver.

From Mexicali I developed my world perspective of humanity and I developed my philosophy and it was there that began to do my artwork. My first art works that I could remember were in two forms. They were what we used to call monitos de barro (clay/mud dolls) and they were graphics, drawing with pencil and with sticks or we would scratch the ground a lot and draw. And with the pencils we also used to do a lot of drawing on books, on wood, on anything that would be on flat that would take a pencil. I recall images from those days. The types of images we used to do in those days there was “El Santo” which was a luchador (Mexican wrestler) and we liked that. And there was another one, “Superman”.
