10/10 Enrique Chagoya

Time: 6pm, CFA 112

Enrique Chagoya is a Mexican-born artist whose work has been praised for its "deep political consciousness and its daring excursions across cultural, historical and artistic boundaries." His paintings and prints are about the changing nature of culture, the conceptual fusion of opposing cultural realities from his personal experiences. Enrique Chagoya's sometimes bitter, sometimes humorous, but always engaging montages of imagery and associations propose a communal internal voyage. As he puts it, "In a world which has masses of people who move, we are talking about a spiritual experience in which everybody is an immigrant of some kind." Chagoya's work is included in the collections of The LA County Museum, The National Museum of American Art, and The Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the New York Public Library. He is an Associate Professor at Stanford University.
