MEXIC-ARTE MUSEUM PRESENTS – “Embracing Chaos” The 12th Annual Young Latino Artists (YLA) Exhibition

Austin, Texas- Mexic-Arte Museum presents the 12th Annual Young Latino Artists Exhibition at the Mexican American Cultural Center (M.A.C.C.). This year’s YLA #12 titled “Embracing Chaos” will open at the inauguration of the new Mexican American Cultural Center Gallery on Saturday September 15th and will be on view through February 23, 2008. YLA #12 is curated by Angel Quesada, an Austin-based artist who will present art work from six young artists. The artists in the show demonstrate a desire to continue producing art which is restless, dynamic, and relevant to the theme of the show.

Mexic-Arte Museum is dedicated to developing awareness of young Latino art and sharing its importance to our community. “The theme “Embracing Chaos” shows the behavior of chaotic systems which appear to be at random because of an exponential growth of errors in the initial conditions of the work. This early period in an artist’s career is often unrefined but not untrained, unversed but not unskilled. It is during this period where you will find young artists “Embracing Chaos” and searching for their personal style. The artists in the show will demonstrate their style related to the theme of the exhibition.”

“This exhibition attempts to reveal the ember of creativity, “Quesada said. “In my aesthetic for “Embracing Chaos” there exists an invisible line linking the act of making art with the viewer.”
