Magueyes II
title Magueyes IIdescription Intaglio on paper, 24 in. x 18 in. The New Immigration: Ten Etchings Portfolio by Self Help Graphics, Los Angeles, CA and Galería Sin Fronteras, Austin, TX. Layers of faces within what looks like a detention center with barbed wire fences. In 1988, Sister Karen Boccalero, founder of Self Help Graphics in Los Angeles, and Dr. Gilberto Cárdenas, founder of Galería Sin Fronteras in Austin, co-organized this portfolio of ten etchings by five artists. The prints, sponsored by Self Help Graphics and co-published by Galería Sin Fronteras, were produced at Taller Romero in Mexico City by printer Renato Esquivel Romero. According to Cárdenas, this series pays “homage to the perseverance and dignity of the new Latino immigrants as they struggle with the transition into American society.” He also said that they are a reminder of “the role that immigration plays in enriching the economic vitality of our society and the contributions that the immigrants and their children will have in making American society a better community for tomorrow—a community ‘sin fronteras.’” Each of the five selected artists presented a distinctive perspective on politics, immigration, and the border.artist/creator Romero, Alejandrosubject Politics in art Faces Figurative art Fences Barbed Wire Immigration Immigrants Borderlands Frontera Intaglio Prints Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -

The Virgin Of Guadalupe
title The Virgin Of Guadalupedescription California artist Jeffrey Vallance proposed to make an intervention at the Tijuana Wax Museum for inSITE2000. Collaborating with Mexico City-based wax-figure maker Victor Hugo Yanez, Vallance produced three new figures for the museum: the Virgin of Guadalupe, Dante, and former US President Richard Nixon. Vallance started with a list of about twenty-eight names of historical and contemporary figures as potential additions to the display at the museum, and arrive at the selection of the three figures based on the existing exhibition structure. The Virgin of Guadalupe could be seen in full figure situated on her own, while Nixon was placed in the presidential room holding in his hands the symbolic element that came to define his public career, a simulated set of reel-to-reel Watergate tapes, and Dante was placed at the entrance to hell with his hand pointing the way. With his project for the Wax Museum, Vallance deepened his own interest and fascination with the three selected figures. In this way, having followed stories for years from different parts of the world detailing apparitions of the Virgin of Guadalupe, Vallance, during a residency period in San Diego, could add yet another apparition to the list - he spotted her up high on a stone column at the Courtyard by Marriott downtown hotel. -- inSITE2000 Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This image is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 311, Folder 01, Item 386) Tijuana Wax Museum [Title, Date].
