DESCRIPTION:February 12 - March 15, 2011; Opening reception Wednesday Feb. 16, 6:30pm - 
 9pm\n\nOpening concurrently in mid-February, the MCCLA and the Fine Arts 
 Gallery at San Francisco State University (SFSU) showcase a selection of 
 powerful contemporary art from Mexico.  Interrelated through a mix of 
 politics and aesthetics, the parallel exhibitions explore issues of labor, 
 migration and contemporary issues - amplified by a historical lens.  MCCLA 
 will present five video installations by artists including Carlos Amorales, 
 ToroLab, Miguel Calderon, Sergio de la Torre, and Tania Candiani.\n\nThe 
 exhibit is curated by Julio Cesar Morales and Maurizzio Hector Pineda. 
 \nVideos included in the DF-SF-TJ exhibition:\n\n"La Hora Nacional /The 
 National Hour" (2010) by Carlos Amorales, a color film with sound that is a 
 reflection on the pre-Hispanic collection and proposes a radical rupture 
 from the institutional interpretation of Mexican history.\n \nSan 
 Francisco-based video artist Sergio de La Torre will exhibit "New Dragon 
 City" (2008), Video which feature 6 Cantonese youths. Sergio's videos 
 address the new reality of the Cantonese population living in Tijuana 
 today.\n\nTijuana-based collective Torolab "Homeland: The Iu Mien Farm 
 Tapes Project" (2009). The Iu Mien Tapes project follows a specific Asian 
 community, the Iu Mien, through their journey of 
 Traditions-Transitions-Translations, from their historical migration from 
 China to Vietnam and Laos to their participation in the Vietnam War, 
 followed by their life in refugee camps and their final settlement in 
 Western United States. \n\nMiguel Calderon will present his video 
 installation "Los Pasos de Los Enemigos/Steps of the Enemy" (2006). A 
 poster of a black panther on his bedroom wall inspired this project when he 
 was a teenager.\n\nTania Candiani's "Battleground" (2009), a 2-channel 
 video shot in both El Paso and Cuidad Juarez goes to war in the domestic 
 sphere, protecting female bodies using common kitchen implements as both 
 weapons and armor, in work that challenges the rules of engagement in the 
 home.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2011/02/06/18671423.php
