15th Young Latino Artists: Consensus of Taste
(July 16 - August 29, 2010)
Curated by Claudia Zapata, M.A. in Art History from
the University of Texas at Austin, this exhibition features the current
visual artwork of artists from the past fourteen YLA exhibitions. American
art critic Clement Greenberg's paper “Can Taste Be Objective” suggests
there is a “consensus of taste” in which disputed taste eventually is
agreed upon by all parties. The curator utilizes this concept to showcase
past YLA artists' current work and their development into professional
visual artists.
In 1996, the inception of the Young Latino Artists exhibition resulted in
one of the most highly anticipated annual traditions for the Mexic-Arte
Museum. Originally, Sylvia Orozco, the Museum’s Co-Founder and Executive
Director, based the YLA exhibition concept and structure after Mexico’s El
Encuentro Nacional de Arte Joven (ENAJ), an annual exhibition of selected
artists 30 years old and younger working in all forms of media.
Since 1966 (when ENAJ was founded), this Aguascalientes-based exhibition
has provided an invaluable forum for young Mexican artists to present
their work. Aspiring to achieve similar programming success – and with the
additional objective of creating a forum for Latinos to gain museum
experience as curators and visual artists – Orozco created the Young
Latino Artists exhibition. Now in its fifteenth year, the current YLA
exhibition looks back at previously selected artists’ and presents their
current artwork as professional visual artists. YLA has become the most
energetic exhibition of the season, challenging Texas Latino artists under
the age of 35 to create their vision in an experimental reexamination of
social and aesthetic norms.
YLA 15 artists are Jesus Benavente, Candace Briceño, Margarita Cabrera,
Bobby Dixon, Santiago Forero, Eduardo Xavier Garcia, Ivete Lucas, Randy
Muniz, Cruz Ortiz, Matthew Rodriguez, Carlos Rosales-Silva, Abel Saucedo,
Vargas-Suarez Universal, David “Shek” Vega, and Jason Villegas.
