Angel Cabrales, MFA, is an Assistant Professor in Sculpture at the University of Texas at El Paso. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from Arizona State University and Masters of Fine Arts from The University of North Texas. Angel views everything as an artistic resource and utilizes this in all his creations, from his extensive experience with a variety of mediums and styles, to the intangibles, such as his upbringing in the El Paso, Texas Borderlands, his work grows and expands with the requirements presented from each new idea.His father a retired engineer at White Sands Missile Range, instilled Angel with a great interest in science and engineering, while his mother, a politically active stay at home mother, taught him the importance of community and social work through her volunteer work. Angel's work is an amalgamation of his upbringing resulting in social/political commentary with an engineered flare. The artwork's concept ultimately dictates the medium needed for its creation, so artistic evolution is intrinsic in his philosophy. Cabrales is an artist fellow for the Looking for America project out of Washington D.C. He is exhibiting in the American Embassy in Mexico City and has exhibited in the International TransBorder Biennial, Texas Biennial, AmoABiennial600, the Chamizal National Memorial, the Mexic-Arte Museum, MAC Dallas, the Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum in Mesa, AZ, The Latino Cultural Center of Dallas, El Paso Museum of Art, Wave Pool Gallery in Cincinnati, OH, Grand Art Haus in Phoenix, AZ, Baton Rouge Gallery, and collaborated with the AMBOS Project (an intervention collaboration along the Border) from Los Angeles.

Preached by Fr. Juan Lopez Agúndez in Bowmont centre in Calgary, Alberta. John the Baptist said of Jesus: “Behold the Lamb of God” (Jn 1, 35) He came to understand that he wanted to follow Jesus out of love. The desire is the engine of the will. When we desire, then our will moves us to our goals. The desire makes it easier to reach our goals.

Agave lessons and Mexican gastronomy with Dr. Ana Valenzuela Zapata
¿Es usted parte de la diáspora Mexicana en el mundo? Lo invito a escuchar la historia de Joel Salcido un periodista (perfectamente bilingüe) nacido en México y criado desde la infancia en los Estados Unidos de América. Es un fotógrafo y un testigo viviente de la cultura entre Texas y México. Desde el 2012 al 2017 se propuso rescatar las imágenes de las industrias tequileras para mostrarlas en los EUA y México, un trabajo y una ambición personal de búsqueda propia de identidad hasta convertirlas en un libro. Las fotografías de diversas industrias del tequila son también una exposición itinerante que será donada por el autor al Museo del Tequila, en Tequila Jalisco. En otra lectura y contexto, la obra de Joel también significa lo que los Mexicanos somos capaces de crear en una época crudamente racista como la de Trump y su legendario muro. Joel Salcido grew up in a dual cultural reality and sensibility that derived from living along the U.S. and Mexican border. As a staff photographer at the El Paso Times he documented the Tarahumara Indians of Mexico, covered the Mexico1985 earthquake and traveled extensively in Latin America for USA Today. In 1991 he resigned as Photo Editor of the El Paso Times to pursue a freelance and fine art career. Eight years later, he moved his family to Spain to work on his year-long project titled, Spain: Millennium Past. His fine art photographs are now in the permanent collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the prestigious Harry Ransom Humanities Center at UT Austin, The El Paso Museum of Art, The Austonian and The Wittliff Collections at Texas State University-San Marcos. Both the Federal Reserve Bank in El Paso, Texas and UT San Antonio, have acquired his work for their respective fine art collections. In addition, his Texas Small Town Series was displayed during the China 14th International Photographic Art Exhibition in Lishui, China. This photo essay remained at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, China. In 2012, he was part of the Descriptions of China photo exhibit in San Antonio, Texas. This group show was held at the Institute of Texan Cultures in association with the Smithsonian Institution. Salcido was a Fulbright scholarship finalists for a Bolivian photography project in 2004 and in 2005 was nominated for the Art House Texas Prize. His series, "Aliento A Tequila," was published in the December 2013 issue of Texas Monthly. The traveling photo exhibit version of this collection has shown in every major Texas city with it’s national distribution scheduled to start in 2021. The emblematic landscape photograph from the Aliento A Tequila series titled, “Atotonilco el Alto,” was recently inducted into National Art Heritage Collection of Mexico and permanently resides at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Mexico City. This same image was also selected for the 2017 Texas Book Festival poster and presented by former First Lady Laura Bush in Dallas. His book titled, The Spirit of Tequila was released in November of 2017 by Trinity University Press. Most recently, the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery is considering the acquisition of prints from his portrait series on Texas Mexican American contemporary writers. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ana-g-valenzuela-zapata/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ana-g-valenzuela-zapata/support

In this episode of pine|copper|lime Miranda speaks with Marco Sánchez about growing up on the Juarez / El Paso border, moving from his home to a small town in Pennsylvania, taking advice and inspiration from his artist grandfather, and representing his cultural identity through drawing on the incredible history of post-revolution Mexican printmakers. Sánchez also talks about the changing politics of what it means to be Lantix in the United States within his lifetime and how the current administration's immigration policies have affected his life and work. As well as the complex and on going process of decolonizing his aesthetic. This episode of the podcast will be a double release, one in Spanish the other in English, made possible by my wonderful co-host this week Maya Verdugo and extra editing help by Judith Martinez Estrada.

"If I close it off then it’s not right. If you look at it and there’s only one answer, then it’s not right. So when I was talking about my older work, maybe it’s not technically good, but it brings up a question that everybody would give a different answer to. And not just other people. Quite often I’ll go back and see something I haven’t seen in a while and it will set off a whole new chain of thoughts." https://files.fireside.fm/file/fireside-uploads/images/4/41335247-836c-4f4a-8a8b-aeca55f3227a/ieLcrF6e.jpg Eating Warhol's Lunch 2016 gouache & collage, 41 x 29 inches Upcoming Exhibitions Julie Speed: East of the Sun and West of the Moon Taubman Museum of Art - Roanoke, VA Saturday, August 31, 2019 - Sunday, March 15, 2020 Touring from the El Paso Museum of Art, Julie Speed: East of the Sun and West of the Moon explores the rich artistic production of Marfa, Texas, artist Julie Speed from the past five years, including many recent works previously unseen. Speed’s last museum show before East of the Sun and West of the Moon occurred in 2014 and was limited to works on paper. Featuring twenty-nine works, the Taubman Museum of Art's presentation of Julie Speed: East of the Sun and West of the Moon consists of diverse works in the artist’s favorite media of oil, gouache, collage, and combinations thereof. Resident in Texas since 1978 and in Marfa since 2006, the artist forged her own path early on by ending her studies at the Rhode Island School of Design and devoting herself to imaginative figuration coupled with consummate technique. Sometimes described as neo-surrealist, Speed’s art holds affinity with the figurative Surrealism of René Magritte, yet her work offers scenarios that are simultaneously more personal and more complex than Magritte’s visual puns. Her art melds a technical mastery rivaling the Old Masters with motifs created from diverse sources ranging from Renaissance engravings to Japanese woodblock prints. As critic and curator Elizabeth Ferrer has written, “The contemporaneity of her art is rooted in its emphatically open-ended nature.” Some of the themes examined in the exhibition and the accompanying catalog are Speed’s mixing of structured and spontaneous processes, her unique bridging of painting and collage, her playful dialogue with artistic tradition, and the intention and power of her art to spark myriad imaginings and narratives. The exhibition includes a “Close-Up Room” consisting of a three-channel video-and-sound installation designed by the artist and highlighting the processes and details of her art. Julie Speed: East of the Sun and West of the Moon was organized by the El Paso Museum of Art and will be on view August 31, 2019 - March 15, 2020 in the Bank of America/Dominion Resources Gallery.
