A Hector Silva Retrospective
Visions and Voices
Opening Reception: Saturday, April 12, 2008
8:30 PM to 12 midnight
EXTENDED
FROM May
20 to June 14
Known internationally as an emblematic Los Angeles
artist, Hector Silva's erotic, playful, and politically charged
work reinvents and queers what scholar Richard T. Rodriguez
call the "homeboy aethetic."
This retrospective is the first exhibition to feature the entire
range of Silva's work and the historical ephemera surrounding
it, including his correspondence with Lucille Ball and early
photographs and accounts of his decorative work in the gay LA
disco Probe, frequented by such icons as Freddie Mercury and
Grace Jones. |
