Unknown Artists
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art spent the last three years curating a massive show called Phantom Sightings: Art after the Chicano Movement. The catalog is a beautiful, hard cover book that features primarily LA based artists with a couple of San Antonio troublemakers in the mix: Alejandro Diaz and . The show will travel to Mexico City, Berlin, Paris and New York (Rita Gonzalez, is this accurate?). Alejandro should be quite joyful these days, having recently been awarded the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation award in the amount of $25,000. That’s a lot of tacos.

Other award winners included former Artpace resident, Wangechi Mutu and Houstinite Robert Pruitt. Congratulations!
