Having been on display for just nearly a month now, here is your last chance to check out this exhibition at Spurlock Museum of World Cultures. We’ve featured the work of artist, writer, and photographer Durango Mendoza before in our Arts section, and I couldn’t help but grab this exerpt from Debra Domal’s piece back in 2021:
To experience a deeper understanding of the man and his work, certain biographical details, as well as certain aspects of Mendoza’s artistic philosophy should be understood. Throughout his life, Mendoza remained deeply thoughtful about his juxtapositioned identity. This process reveals itself throughout his work, as is true for many artists. However, Mendoza’s range of gifts, his ability to communicate as powerfully through assemblage as his did through word images, poetry, short fiction, and interviews, allowed him to leave behind both a map and a guidebook for those encountering his work.
Juxtapositioned III is highlighted by Spurlock Museum and on display now until this Sunday, April 28th.
