chicanoartmovement: Curators Rita Gonzalez, Howard N. Fox, and Chon Noriega Description Phantom Sightings: Art after the Chicano Movement is the first comprehensive consideration of Chicano art in almost two decades and the largest exhibition of cutting-edge Chicano art ever presented. The exhibition explores the experimental tendencies within current Chicano art, which is oriented less toward painting and polemical assertion and more toward conceptual art, performance, film, photography, and media-based art, as well as “stealthy” artistic interventions in urban spaces. An exhibition catalog by co-curators Rita Gonzalez, Howard N. Fox, and Chon A. Noriega is available from the University of California Press. It contains three essays that explore the topic in depth as well as more than two hundred color illustrations, twenty-five individual artist portfolios, and a wryly subversive chronology of significant moments in Chicano cultural history. The exhibition, which opened at LACMA on September 2008, traveled in the United States and Mexico. CAM: I just my copy of Phantom Sightings Art After The Chicano Movement catalog at LACMA for just $10 (Get yours here). I remember going to this exhibit in 2008, in conjunction with the Phantom Sightings exhibit was Cheech Marin’s “The Chicano Collection.” Phantom Sightings let me explore the different mediums Chicano artist used not just paint, but sculpture, video and sound. The exhibit also introduced me to some of the new wave of Chicano artist. High-res
