An innovative, multi-disciplinary piece inspired by internationally acclaimed Spanish poet and playwright Federico García Lorca’s trip to New York, which changed his life and art forever. In Wearing Lorca’s Bowtie,15 individual artists find themselves in New York, dreaming of Lorca and wondering why it is that we continue to be drawn to this city to make our life and our art and exploring the peculiar brand of loneliness that this city can evoke. The piece blends fantasy with actual moments from Lorca’s work and trip – such as his famous witnessing of the 1929 stock market crash – with today’s experience of trying to make a life in New York during the biggest economic crisis since Lorca’s visit.
Wearing Lorca’s Bowtie unites some of Spain’s most celebrated award-winning writers, actors, mu ...

Art Along the Hyphen: The Mexican-American Generation explores a seminal but overlooked generation of artists who started working in Los Angeles between the turn of the century and the end of the 1960s, prior to the rise of the Chicano art movement. From commercial illustrations that celebrated the mythic Californios to modernist art that engaged directly with the Civil Rights era, this exhibition pulls together one hundred rarely seen paintings, sculptures, photographs, and graphics to explore how these artists drew inspiration from both their Mexican heritage and American home.
Art Along the Hyphen is part of a unique four-exhibition project, called L.A. Xicano, organized by the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center in partnership with the Autry National Center, the Fowler Museum at UCLA, ...
