Mexic-Arte Museum Opens Thought Cloud: Young Latino Artists 16

The Mexic-Arte Museum presents Thought Cloud: Young Latino Artists 16 on view through September 25, 2011.


Bernardo Cantu, Cactus Pudding, 2010, Mixed-media

Thought Cloud shows the work of 10 Texas artists, all under the age of 35 telling stories about the human condition in the 21st century. Artists interpret real world circumstances and invent new realities through photography, video, sculpture, painting, and installation. The exhibition will be presented under five narrative-inspired themes—Romance, Crime, Autobiography, Mythology, and Labor—allowing each artist to weave tales of fictional love, political conflict, gentrification, alternative worlds and more in their work. From this idea of story emerges the thought cloud: a place where people, thoughts, and connectivity come together for only a brief amount of time. The exhibition is guest-curated by Alexander Freeman, Education Curator at Artpace San Antonio.

YLA 16 Artists are Ruth Buentello (San Antonio, TX), Beatriz Cabrera (Carrollton, TX), Michael Menchaca (San Antonio, TX), Bernardo Cantu (Denton, TX), Kristina Felix (Austin, TX), Carmen Flores, (Sugarland, TX), Jorge Galvan (Houston, TX), Alejandro Sanchez (Austin, TX), Clarissa Tossin (Houston, TX), and Ricky Yanas (Austin, TX).

Mexic-Arte Museum is dedicated to enriching the community through education programs and exhibitions focusing on traditional and contemporary Mexican, Latino, and Latin American art and culture. Since its founding in 1984, Mexic-Arte Museum has been designated as the Official Mexican and Mexican American Fine Art Museum of Texas by the 78th Legislature of the State of Texas.
