Museo de Alameda exhibition opening on Laura Aguilar

Museo de Alameda


Exhibition Opening: Laura Aguilar: Life, The Body, Her Perspective
In September, the Museo Alameda honors the medium of photography by presenting the work of Chicana photographer Laura Aguilar. Aguilar's work is comprised of candid self-portraits of her nude body posed against the rugged natural landscape of New Mexico, Texas and Southern California.

Although the artist's work is driven by spiritual and emotional concerns, it is also critically challenges the representation of women--especially 'the nude'-- in art history and popular culture. Her beautifully disquieting photographs provide a deep and evolving conversation about her relationship to her body, physical touch, the natural world and the love of self.

Opens September 9th -Lo Bello Gallery.
