Book SynopsisThe first monograph on the exuberant, polymorphous art of Teddy Sandoval, whose work explored community, queerness and Chicano identity Accompanying the artist’s first retrospective, Teddy Sandoval and the Butch Gardens School of Art examines the work of the inventive yet overlooked Los Angeles–based artist Teddy Sandoval (1949–95). A central figure in Los Angeles’s queer and Chicanx artistic circles, Sandoval was an active participant in international avant-garde movements. For 25 years, he produced subversive and playful artworks in a range of mediums—including ceramics, mail art, painting, printmaking, performance, photography, window displays and xerography—that explored the codes of gender and sexuality, particularly transforming conceptions of masculinity. This expansive publication surveys Sandoval’s work alongside other queer, Latinx and Latin American artists whose practices profoundly resonate. The expansive catalog features essays by C. Ondine Chavoya, David Evans Frantz, Raquel Gutiérrez and Mari Rodriguez Binnie, as well as biographical entries on additional artists featured in the exhibition, among them, Félix Ángel, Myrna Báez, Álvaro Barrios, Ester Hernández, Hudinilson Jr., Antonio Lopez, María Martínez-Cañas, Marisol and Joey Terrill.

Book SynopsisThe first book on artist, musician, and DJ Eamon Ore-Giron who mines the complex nature of Latinx identity, the history of the Americas, and the many legacies of abstraction in art.  Over the course of his career, Eamon Ore-Giron has examined the personal and historical ramifications of cultural hybridity. Raised in Tucson, Ore-Giron is inspired by his roots in the American Southwest, his visits to his father’s hometown of Huancayo, Peru, and his time spent as a practicing artist in California and Mexico. This catalogue brings together for the first time three pivotal chapters in Ore-Giron’s career: his Southwest and Peruvian-inspired figurative works from the 2000s; his paintings from the 2010s that engaged elements of both figuration and abstraction, including an ongoing series focused on Mesoamerican deities; and the sublime gold-based paintings from his recent “Infinite Regress&rd
