This diversity of ideas can produce a three-headed monster or an artist, and I chose the latter." -Ruben Trejo Ruben Trejo: Beyond Boundaries / Aztlán y más allá is the first comprehensive survey of Trejo's art and career.

Exhibiting Cultures

  • Categories: Art

Debating the practices of museums, galleries, and festivals, Exhibiting Cultures probes the often politically charged relationships among aesthetics, contexts, and implicit assumptions that govern how art and artifacts are displayed and understood.
