  • Creating Sustainable Foundations for Rhizomes of Mexican American Art Since 1848 Karen Mary Davalos (UMN) and Constance Cortez (UTRGV)
    1 Creating Sustainable Foundations for Rhizomes of Mexican American Art Since 1848 Karen Mary Davalos (UMN) and Constance Cortez (UTRGV) Introduction With the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo (1848), some 80,000 residents living in the former Mexican territories became United States citizens. Over the subsequent 173 years, Mexican American artists created a rich array of artistic forms that include murals, wooden sculptures, cut-paper art, installations and new media. Given the geopolitical context within which the artists work, Mexican American art aligns with categories, genres, styles, and practices outlined by canonic American art history. Nevertheless, this affinity is not without paradox. While uncompromisingly voicing American identity, Mexican American art and artists simultaneously continue to lay claim to influences from Spain, Mexico, and the indigenous populations of North America. Additionally, Mexican American art encompasses the pre- modern, modern, and postmodern eras and engages in a visual and ideological play of cultures. For instance, the santeros (sculptors and painters of religious art) of New Mexico employ the style and techniques of the Spanish colonial period in their renderings of saints while appropriating imagery relevant to the present. Meanwhile, conceptual artists forgo the universal to Luis Tapia, Northern New Mexico Woody (Peñasco advocate political declarations, while Truck), 2002.

In this simultaneous recognition of past and present, Mexican American artists both critique and expand traditional definitions of American art and, by extension, what it means to be “American.” It is unfortunate that this innovative use of combined traditions has frequently been met with misunderstanding that, in turn, has led to invisibility.

  • Mapping the Art Market for Contemporary Mexican American Artists
    After the Chicano Rights Movement: Mapping the Art Market for Contemporary Mexican American Artists by Diana Ledesma Sandy Lang Department of Art and Art Professions M.A. Final Project Steinhardt School of Culture, Education and Human Development Visual Arts Administration New York University Spring 2016 After the Chicano Rights Movement: Mapping the Art Market for Contemporary Mexican American Artists Abstract There is a severe lack of representation of Mexican American artists in important American institutions. This, coupled with the hindrance of identity politics and a resistance to diversity, have made the art market for Mexican Americans practically non-existent. In 1994, the Smithsonian Institution created a Latino Task Force and recognized 148 years of neglect. Raul Yzaguirre, the Chican@1 activist and chair for the task force explains, “when it came to the presentation of the culture and achievements…we simply do not exist.”2 Not only did the exclusion of Latin@ artists and curators alienate audiences of Mexican descent, but also Mexican American artists because they could not “see [themselves] as contributors to this nation.”3 Considering the influence the Mexican muralists had on American modernism in the 1920s-1940s, the omission is surprising. Currently the US population includes close to 55 million people of Latin@ descent — Mexican Americans account for more than half of this number at 64 percent — shifting the majority in areas of the American Southwest.4 Although the artists of the Chican@ Rights Movement of the 1960s and 1970s challenged the status quo and began to forge their way into the mainstream art world, this task is left incomplete, in large part because they are missing a supporting art ecology of dedicated historians, curators, museum directors, gallery owners, and collectors.

  • Archival Body/Archival Space: Queer Remains of the Chicano Art Movement, Los Angeles, 1969-2009
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: ARCHIVAL BODY/ARCHIVAL SPACE: QUEER REMAINS OF THE CHICANO ART MOVEMENT, LOS ANGELES, 1969-2009. Robert Lyle Hernandez, III, Ph.D., 2011 Directed By: Associate Professor Mary Corbin Sies, American Studies This dissertation proposes an interdisciplinary queer archive methodology I term ―archival body/archival space,‖ which recovers, interprets, and assesses the alternative archives and preservation practices of homosexual men in the Chicano Art Movement, the cultural arm of the Mexican American civil rights struggle in the U.S. Without access to systemic modes of preservation, these men generated other archival practices to resist their erasure, omission, and obscurity. The study conducts a series of archive excavations mining ―archival bodies‖ of homosexual artists from buried and unseen ―archival spaces,‖ such as: domestic interiors, home furnishings, barrio neighborhoods, and museum installations. This allows us to reconstruct the artist archive and, thus, challenge how we see, know, and comprehend ―Chicano art‖ as an aesthetic and cultural category. As such, I evidence the critical role of sexual difference within this visual vocabulary and illuminate networks of homosexual Chicano artists taking place in gay bars, alternative art spaces, salons, and barrios throughout East Los Angeles. My queer archive study model consists of five interpretative strategies: sexual agency of Chicano art, queer archival afterlife, containers of desire, archival chiaroscuro, and archive elicitation. I posit that by speaking through these artifact formations, the ―archival body‖ performs the allegorical bones and flesh of the artist, an artifactual surrogacy articulated through things. My methodological innovation has direct bearing on how sexual difference shapes the material record and the places from which these ―queer remains‖ are kept, sheltered, and displayed.

Klein—Professor Emerita, Department of Art History, University of California, Los Angeles, has taught and written about Pre-Columbian art history since 1972, when she began her teaching career at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan, after earning her doctorate at Columbia University. A specialist in the iconography and political functions of Aztec art and culture, she wrote her dissertation (later published by Garland) on frontality in Pre-Columbian Mexican figural imagery. Since then she has written numerous articles on the Aztec rites of autosacrifice and human sacrifice, as well as the symbolism of human body parts. Long interested in the role of visual images in the construction of an official Aztec ideology of gender, she edited and contributed three essays to Gender in Prehispanic America (Dumbarton Oaks, 2001).
