Rodrigo Lara Zendejas' installation, Chapel, was perhaps the most compelling Special Exhibition. It was shown by 6018North at Expo Chicago 2015. It was inspired, in part, by the chapel in his grandparent's home. This chapel, however, is a secular one. In these images it is difficult to tell but the faces on the statuary are iconic artists (the piece to the right is Andy Warhol with a prone Jean-Michel Basquiat).
Zendejas discusses his work below.
Another series by the artist, Deportable Aliens, is currently on display at the National Museum of Mexican Art (1852 W. 19th St., Chicago, IL). This exhibit deals with the illegal "repatration" of Mexicans during the 1930s. Many of these people were born U.S Citizens. It is an interesting and provocative exhibition and will be on display until February 28, 2015. Find out more HERE.
