East of the river

"East of the River looks at Chicano art and culture through a variety of artistic and scholarly perspectives, as well as through the eyes of the Southern California community of collectors who seek to support and preserve it. The art engages aesthetic, socio-political, and economic issues. East of the River also focuses on the practice of collecting itself, highlighting unique approaches that are as diverse as the range of the contemporary art represented.". "Among the artists included are Carlos Almaraz, Judy Baca, Barbara Carrasco, Luisa Cours, Victor Durazo, Christina Fernandez, Elsa Flores, Diane Gamboa, Roberto Gil de Montes, Yolanda Gonzalez, Gronk, Salomon Huerta, Magu, Joseph Maruska, Daniel J.
