Description:
"Celia Álvarez Muñoz : Breaking the Binding" is the first major publication devoted to the career of this seminal Chicana artist, who was born in El Paso, TX, in 1937. Accompanying her first museum career retrospective, this volume surveys the artist's decades of colorful photo and text-based artworks, book projects, large-scale installations, public works, and unpublished, associated archival materials. Color images and scholarly texts illuminate the artist's themes (childhood learning and perception, bicultural and bilingual experience, youthful slips of mind and tongue); and her often playful, first-person approach using conceptual tools. Resulting artworks are at once intimate and cerebral, analytical and joyful; reflecting the complexities of childhood, especially on a bicultural and bilingual border. Alongside images, the book features a conversation between the artist and her longtime interlocutor and friend, Roberto Tejada, as well as essays by the exhibition co-curators Kate Green and Isabel Casso, and Josh Franco, Head of Collecting at the Smithsonian Archives of American Art
"Celia Álvarez Muñoz : Enlightenment" features her Enlightenment series of artists' books and installations, with an essay by Isabel Casso, Assistant Curator, Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego
