The Other Side of Memory: Photographs by Luis C. GarzaA Traveling Exhibition Organized by Cause Connect
June 22 - September 1
Main Gallery East | Free days July 24 & August 20
Public Reception Friday, July 12, 6-8 pm
There is at least one other side of memory—the road not traveled. This exhibition of 66 black-and-white silver gelatin prints is drawn from the extensive, largely unpublished archive of this Chicano photographer’s work in Los Angeles, New York, and Hungary. Garza’s images document his East Los Angeles community during the early 1970s, his South Bronx neighborhood during the 1960s, and his 1971 travels to Budapest,
Hungary, for the World Peace Conference where he met Mexican muralist David Alfaro Siqueiros.
For this exhibition and related publication, images are not arranged according to place or chronology, as is typical of documentary photography. Rather, curator Armando Durón seeks to subvert the usual distinction between documentation and art that form the two main branches of photography, allowing viewers instead
to construct a personal narrative.
Images are paired to encourage the viewer to form a unique vision from the selected combination. The works in the exhibition were selected for their ability to evoke multivalent layers of memory.
