G.T. PELLIZZI & RAY SMITH

THE EXECUTION OF MAXIMILIAN

February 9 - March 6, 2011

Opening Reception: Thursday February 9th, 6 to 9 pm

Y Gallery is pleased to present "The Execution of Maximilian: Border Paintings" by G.T. Pellizzi and Ray Smith, two Mexican-American artists of different heritages, but common cultural backgrounds. The exhibition refers to the violence represented by the border itself, replicated in the way illegal immigrants are treated—“backyard” policies creating a ripple effect of economic and social strife, as far off as in cities such as Ciudad Juarez. The daily violence that is produced at the borders is somehow reflected through these paintings, which were executed by shooting at cans of paint with shotguns, on the Texan border of Mexico near Brownsville, between the end of 2011 and the beginning of 2012. The making of the paintings took place outdoors in what is, and has been for over a century, the dump for the Yturria Ranch. This arena of action and the displacement of painterly production from the artist’s studio directly into nature and the outdoors echoes the Impressionist movement-taking place around the same time as Manet’s Maximilian paintings. Here, though, the natural landscape is taken to reference the Mexican–American border ... for more information, click here

Sobre Robinson ante el abismo

El ensayista y narrador mexicano nacido en Canadá Bruno H. Piché publicó recientemente el volumen Robinson ante el abismo. Recuento de islas (Ed. DGE Equilibrista/UNAM), libro que se compone de ensayos, notas, reflexiones y páginas autobiográficas, donde además recopila citas y poemas de otros sobre las ínsulas. H. Piché retrata las diferentes significaciones de una isla, como la soledad, historias de posesión, alegoría del abandono, entre otras. Para Jorge Munguía Espitia, autor de este artículo, "Robinson ante el abismo es un compendio admirable, por la originalidad de los hechos, personajes, lugares y anécdotas personales que presenta. También por los insinuantes pensamientos planteados que invitan a la consulta e introspección sobre la tristeza, la soledad y el naufragio".

En el Cervantes...

1 de MARZO, 6.30 pm - 50 años de la muerte de Julio Camba. Un gallego en Nueva York.
Los escritores Manuel Vicent y Elvira Lindo conversarán entre ellos sobre el también escritor y periodista Julio Camba, del que se cumplen 50 años de su fallecimiento. La mesa redonda se centrará en el periodo que Camba vivió en Nueva York como corresponsal. De aquellas experiencias surgen dos libros ampliamente elogiados: "Un año en el otro mundo" (1917) y "La ciudad automática" (1934). Ambos constituyen un conjunto de percepciones sobre la Gran Manzana y los Estados Unidos impregnadas de una mirada irónica y mordaz.
Tras la charla tendrá lugar un coloquio con el público asistente.
En español con traducción simultánea.

22 de MARZO, 6.30 pm - Cómo me hice escritora gracias a mi madre, Franco y Simone de Beauvoir, por Laura Freixas.
La escritora catalana Laura Freixas nos contará que le llevó a elegir su profesión y mantendrá un diálogo con el público asistente: "¡Qué aburrida era la España de los años 60! Especialmente, para una niña, que del franquismo no conocía más que la grisalla cotidiana.... Aunque luego descubriría que bajo la ceniza yacían muchas ilusiones perdidas: las de una parte de su familia, catalanista, y las de otra parte, anarquista... Por el momento, lo único que cabía era soñar. Leer, leer... y también escribir. Porque bajo la dictadura de Franco, la única vida interesante, sobre todo para las mujeres, era la de la imaginación, y porque los únicos modelos femeninos atractivos eran los encarnados por las escritoras, especialmente francesas. Así nace una vocación literaria." Laura Freixas.
