Spanish Remnants: Boarders Real and Imagined

Spanish Remnants: Boarders Real and Imagined

Dec 11, 1992–Jan 24, 1993

Spanish Remnants: Borders Real and Imagined was curated by Joan Davidow Director of Arlington Museum of Art at the time of curation, and exhibited artworks from Texas artists Jesse Amado, Elena Lopez-Poirot, Arielle Masson, Mario Perez, Marcos Rosales, Patricia Ruiz-Bayon, Rodolfo Lailson Sotelo, and Mexican artists Alejandro Arango, Monica Castillo, Eduardo Cervantes, Javier de la Garza, Mario Rangel Faz, and Guadalupe Ordoñez. This exhibition brought together Texas Latino artists with their counterparts from Mexico to confront and examine their similarities and differences. The contact afforded the artists in Spanish Remnants provided a forum on transcultural art, from the conceptual to installation art to traditional mediums, demonstrating the nature of ethnic diversity in North American culture today.
