Gabriela León: Sunday Walk to the Zócalo of Oaxaca / Gabriela León: Paseo Dominical por el Zócalo de Oaxaca
Riverside, CA: UCR / Sweeney Art Gallery, 2007. First edition. Softcover. Oblong quarto. 40pp. Original photographic wrappers. This remarkable work was published on the occasion of the exhibition "Gabriela León: Sunday Walk to the Zócalo of Oaxaca" held at UCR / Sweeney Art Gallery, October 13, 2007-January 5, 2008. It is a multi-media artistic response to the popular revolt and resistance that unfolded in Oaxaca in 2006 and was the first traveling solo exhibition outside of Mexico for artist Gabriela León. Some of the elements of the exhibition consisted of a "barricade dress" made of barbed-wire, tire treads and mattress springs found amidst the detritus; a video projection of the artist wearing the dress walking among protestors and police; a sound installation that evoked the voices of the crowds; and tarps inspired by the temporary living structures during the lengthy protest. The exhibition was organized by UC Riverside Sweeney Art Gallery and curated by director Tyler Stallings. Wrappers and interior in overall very good condition. vg. Item #33843
