“HEIR today, gone tomorrow”
Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center (MACC) presents HEIR today, gone tomorrow a curatorial exhibit by Los Outsiders featuring the works of fourteen artists. HEIR today, gone tomorrow opens Friday, June 24th with a reception from 7 – 9 pm in the main gallery. The exhibit will run through August 27, 2011.
In HEIR today, gone tomorrow, Los Outsiders have linked together the works of various artists from the Texas and Tennessee to Mexico, exploring the complexities of inheritance, legacy and human interaction. The body of work becomes a journal, a meta-cognitive examination of who we are through our relationships, culture and heritage.
Los Outsiders is an Austin-based collective started by Salvador Castillo, Michael Anthony Garcia and Hector Hernandez who follow up their critically acclaimed curatorial debut, Hasta La Basura Se Separa [artcrush] (The Antigua Aduana in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico and Box 13 in Houston, TX), with another international show featuring the works of 15 contemporary artists.
The Artists
HEIR today, gone tomorrow includes the work of Daniel Adame (Houston, TX), Aisen Caro Chacin (Austin, TX), Paco Castro (Guadalajara, Mexico), Gabriel Dawe (Dallas, TX), Carlos Donjuan (Dallas, TX), Santiago Forero (Austin, TX), Eduardo Xavier Garcia (Austin, TX), Sergio Garcia (Dallas, TX), William Hundley (Austin, TX), Kristy Perez (San Antonio, TX), Carlos Rosales-Silva (Austin, TX), Amelia Winger-Bearskin (Nashville, Tennessee) and Los Outsider curators Michael Anthony García (Austin, TX), and Hector Hernandez (Austin, TX). The artists have produced works of photography, installation, sculpture, and painting to explore what we inherit and what we pass onto others. Some of the works have been specifically produced for the exhibition.
