An Artful Look at Mexico...
By showing more conceptual and abstract images of Mexico, two exhibitions aim to change Americans perceptions of our neighbor to the south...

Didn't even notice the (Spanish?) jamón; it kind of blended in with her dress and looked like some kind of sash to my casual glance.

That dress is called the "Juarez Gown" in the nuptual preparation trades. A stunning white chiffon with two or three hundred fresh bullet wounds seeping through the material. I doubt it will have the predicted effect: " aim to change Americans perceptions of our neighbor to the south." I do, however, like the clever wording in the statement, "aim to change." |

Re: An Artful Look at Mexico...
Most artists I have come to know throughout my life live in their own private, made-up world of reality. But I still like to see what they come up with. That's what makes it entertaining...
