Harry Gamboa Jr.: 1990s Video Art Screening Phoenix Art Museum

Harry Gamboa Jr.: 1990s Video Art July 12, 1pm Harry Gamboa Jr. is an internationally recognized writer and visual artist. As co-founder of the Chicano art group ASCO (1971 – 1987), he developed such multimedia forms as the “no-movie” and “fotonovela,” which drew attention to the workings of mass culture. In these works, collected here for the first time, Gamboa combined the political influences of the Chicano Movement with the narrative excess of film noir, B-movies, and Mexican telenovelas. The screening includes El Mundo L.A., L.A. Familia, Mañanamania, Fire Ants for Nothing, Huevitos, Loner with a Gun and Rite of Overpass. Adult content.
