STUDENTS & ALUMNI August 2, 2010 through January 2, 2011  Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, 108 Cathedral Place, Santa Fe, NM 87501 (Click here for a map)Video artist Torry Mendoza's work centers on the re-appropriation and deconstruction of Native identity in popular culture. Through digital editing, re-presentations and satirical juxtapositions, Mendoza challenges dominant society's portrayal of Native Americans in order to call attention to the accepted perceptions of “Indigeneity.” Taking a cue from the exhibition's title, Round-Up re-examines a collection of subjects drawn from mass media. Mendoza's artwork places personas such as the “Crying Indian” (portrayed by Iron Eyes Cody in the famous Keep America Beautiful campaign) within a conceptually centered sociopolitical context. Round-UP was originally organized by Urban Shaman, Inc. Winnipeg, MB. Join us for the free, public opening reception on August 19 from 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm. For more information, please call 505.424.5922.
