SPARC Presents: A Short Essay on Chicano Photography - Opening Reception
On Saturday, February 21, 2015 from 5pm-8pm the Durón Gallery at SPARC will present A Short Essay on Chicano Photography, showcasing works from the collection of Mary and Armando Durón that will feature a survey exhibition on Chicano photography that has not been mounted in any venue large or small in many years. One can argue that Chicano photographers took their cue from their quest to create their own reality admitting that it was not objective but reactionary to the few quite negative images that existed about Chicanos and their ancestors. The exhibit reveals that the aesthetic and formal concerns were never ignored as Chicano photographers sought to make their mark on their terms. The works in this exhibition will attempt to go beyond photojournalism and to demonstrate that aesthetic, formal and social concerns were ever-present and together often formed the resulting images by the artists. Gallery Hours are Tues-Sat, 12pm to 5pm through May 1st.
