Galería América The Institute for Latino Studies presents: ILS Student Exhibition Graham Ebetsch, Jessica Madrid, and Rebecca Rodriguez, graduates of the University of Notre Dame's class of 2007, will exhibit their work at the Institute for Latino Studies, 230 McKenna Hall, at the University of Notre Dame from Monday, May 7th through Friday, August 17, 2007. The Institute for Latino Studies' annual student exhibition features up-and-coming artists from within the Notre Dame community who are either of Latino heritage or Latino focused or both. This year's exhibition features three senior Notre Dame art students working in various media to articulate themselves and express Latino culture. The Institute is pleased to host an exhibition devoted to these students who no doubt will go on to influence future generations of artists and society as a whole. Graham Ebetsch's prints create visualizations of what he feels is occurring in our contemporary time. This series is an attempt to juxtapose the positive and, less celebrated, negative outcomes of that voyage. They are based on a vocabulary list intended to teach third graders what terms are associated with the process. Through the doubling of imagery, as well as the contrast in others, it is his hope to depict what he sees to be a continually growing injustice and furthermore, hypocrisy. His pieces continue to deal with Mexican immigration through the past and present comparison exhibited here, as well as possibly causes for our current state of affairs, as well as a realization of the America's dehumanizing of the Mexican immigrant. Rebecca Rodriguez's belief that art impacts the soul has strongly influenced the contours of her prints. As an artist, it is her personal goal to use the poster medium to reach others and act on social justice issues. The Chicano movement, her family, and peers are where she finds her inspiration; stereotypes and apathy are what she strives to change. Jessica Madrid's work explores different aspects of life and takes influence from many different cultures. Most of her printmaking revolves around South Western cultures, especially that of the Native Americans. Her paintings often involve figures trying to address different aspects of contemporary American culture, including fashion, trends and mindsets of a modern American. Often they are approached with a certain sense of humor in hopes that it creates a stronger impact. The Galería América is open daily, Monday–Friday, 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. For more information about the Institute for Latino Studies visit our web site at latinostudies.nd.edu |
