CTRL+X Composed/desCompuestos
CTRL+X Composed/desCompuestos is a two person exhibition curated by Maritza Bautista featuring the artwork of Gil Rocha and Cande Aguilar, both from South Texas in the Marlene and Spencer Hays Foundation Gallery. CTRL+X is the keyboard feature for “cut.” Here it represents a rasquache aesthetic of cutting, or taking from cultural representations, objects, and visuals, that exist on the U.S./Mexico border region. The objects and materials are often scavenged or collected by Rocha and Aguilar from their original context- their hometowns- to reframe a new, yet authentic, survival mechanism needed to thrive as a contemporary artist living and creating in a culturally impoverished landscape – where few to no museums or galleries exist.
