Curating at the Edge
Located less than a mile from Juárez, the Stanlee and Gerald Rubin Center for Visual Arts at the University of Texas at El Paso is a non-collecting institution that serves the Paso del Norte region. In Curating at the Edge, Kate Bonansinga brings to life her experiences as the Rubin’s founding director, giving voice to a curatorial approach that reaches far beyond the limited scope of “border art” or Chicano art. Instead, Bonansinga captures the creative climate of 2004–2011, when contemporary art addressed broad notions of destruction and transformation, irony and subversion, gender and identity, and the impact of location on politics. The Rubin’s location in the Chihuahuan deser...
Chunghi Choo and Her Students
The renowned silversmith and jewelry artist Chunghi Choo (born 1938 in South Korea) is internationally known for her work with electroplating technology and plastic. Her pieces are represented in the most important museums worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Arts (US), the Victoria and Albert Museum (UK) and the Musée des Arts décoratifs (FR). She is also professor emeritus at the University of Iowa, where she established a metals department and raised it to global prominence during her more than 30 years of tenure. Many of her students have become respected artists in the fields of painting, jewellery, textile art, metal design or sculpture. The publication chronicles Choo's distinguished career and features select pieces over the past six decades that have earned her Elected Fellow status of the American Craft Council. Their lasting influence on subsequent generations of artists becomes clear in the works presented by 30 former students.--Translation provided by cataloger via Google Translate.

Born of Resistance
This collection of essays interrogates the most contested social, political, and aesthetic concept in Chicana/o cultural studies—resistance. If Chicana/o culture was born of resistance amid assimilation and nationalistic forces, how has it evolved into the twenty-first century? This groundbreaking volume redresses the central idea of resistance in Chicana/o visual cultural expression through nine clustered discussions, each coordinating scholarly, critical, curatorial, and historical contextualizations alongside artist statements and interviews. Landmark artistic works—illustrations, paintings, sculpture, photography, film, and television—anchor each section. Contributors include David...

Methodological Challenges in Nature-Culture and Environmental History Research
This book examines the challenges and possibilities of conducting cultural environmental history research today. Disciplinary commitments certainly influence the questions scholars ask and the ways they seek out answers, but some methodological challenges go beyond the boundaries of any one discipline. The book examines: how to account for the fact that humans are not the only actors in history yet dominate archival records; how to attend to the non-visual senses when traditional sources offer only a two-dimensional, non-sensory version of the past; how to decolonize research in and beyond the archives; and how effectively to use sources and means of communication made available in the digital age. This book will be a valuable resource for those interested in environmental history and politics, sustainable development and historical geography.
Border Witness
"Border Witness offers a surprising catalogue of films dealing with the US-Mexico border and released during the past 100 years. It compares these screen visions with what was happening on the ground at the time in both countries. From revolution through to the present global crisis, the films are left to speak for themselves, but their stories are measured alongside the author's experience following decades of research, writing, and activism along the line. Taken together, this book outlines a unique Border Film genre just now entering its Golden Age. This book also comes with a message to both nations that they should learn more from borderlanders about how to conduct cross-border lives"--
