The Mextasy Circus of Desmadres: Naranja County Edition

Crear Studio presents The Mextasy Circus of Desmadres: Naranja “OC” Edition.  Curated by Nericcio and Guillermo Nericcio García, the traveling exhibition emerged from the pages of Nericcio’s acclaimed 2007 book, “Tex[t]-Mex: Seductive Hallucinations of the Mexican in America.”

“Mextasy: Seductive Hallucinations of Latina/o Mannequins Prowling the American Unconscious” stands as a vibrant testament to the creative vision of Chicano artist William “Memo” Nericcio.

Rooted in the Chicano experience, Mextasy boldly confronts and redefines stereotypes of Mexicans pervasive in American mass culture. Nericcio, primarily known as a writer, unveils his artistic persona as Guillermo Nericcio García, reflecting the duality of his identity, hailing from the border town of Laredo, Texas.

As Mextasy travels to galleries, universities, and cultural centers, it continues to amplify the voices of Chicano artists, offering a thought-provoking and visually compelling perspective on cultural identity and representation within the American landscape.

This exhibition is supported in part by LibroMobile Arts Cooperative and free to the public. For more details, email libromobile@gmail.com.
