Fair Play
featuring new work by
Albert Alvarez • Jimmy James Canales
Jimmy Castillo • Adriana Corral
Carlos Hernandez • Carlos Don Juan
Juan de dios Mora • Alex Rubio
Postracialism, affirmative action, and immigration reform continue to be major points of contention in the political and social arena. The eight artists represented in Fair Play are a selection of emerging and mid-career Chicano and Mexican artists. They have inherited the social awareness of their forebears, but have realized that the conversation is now much more nuanced.
Their work ranges from traditional painting to performance. These artists occupy the sometimes uncomfortable space represented by a minority that is quickly becoming a majority in Texas.
