Guillermo Gomez-Pena
Sons of Border Crisis
October 22-December 5
Gallery C
In these seven short video performances Gómez-Peña confronts Mexican-American culture clashes, stereotypes, and immigration issues. Speaking through a bullhorn or on the airwaves of mock-station Radio Latino FM, he broadcasts a message critical of American political policies and social hypocrisies. His comic comparisons include "tacos without salsa" and "art without ideas" and such pointed statements, as "thanks to marketing and not to civil rights, we are the new generation." The taped monologues include Son of Border Crisis, El Post-Mojado, The Mexican Fly, Dear Californian, Employer Sanctions, The Year of the Yellow Spider, and The Year of the Hispanic.
