The mission of the Vincent Price Art Museum at East Los Angeles College is to serve as a unique educational resource for the diverse audiences of the college and the community through the exhibition, interpretation, collection, and preservation of works in all media of the visual arts.
This exhibition, comprising works from LACMA’s permanent collection, presents an introduction to Chinese ceramics, with examples from c. 2500 BC (Neolithic period) to the 19th century.
Exploring questions of citizenship, national belonging, and the fantasy of immigration through drawings, paintings and a video installation, itself part performance and part storytelling, this exhibition borrows its title from the book by cultural critics Judith Butler and Gayatri Spivak to comment on the complex landscape of nationhood.
Drawing from the hemispheric context of the Americas, and broad questions of civilization and culture, this exhibition presents recent works by artists from the United States and Latin America grappling with continued questions of colonialism and postcolonialism in an effort to locate “place” in contemporary society.
This comprehensive survey of Cervántez’s richly layered, politically charged and spiritually informed artistic practice spans over four decades and encompasses painting, printmaking and muralism, featuring recent works as well as revealing the artist’s historic intersections with social justice work in California, feminist and Latin American solidarity movements, the Chicano art movement, and the era of multiculturalism.
Works on view from our permanent collection hail from around the world, and include Pre-Columbian ceramics and textiles from Mexico, Central America and Peru, Modern Mexican masters and Contemporary Art.
