A selfie by Am\u00e9rica Bautista B\u00e1rcenas with Aislinn on the Zoom screen of a laptop beside her. Peeking out from behind the computer is a glimpse of Woody de Othello’s ceramic sculpture, Defeated, depleted<\/em>. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This summer I had the immense pleasure of working remotely with members of Teatro Visi\u00f3n<\/a>, a Chicanx theatre company in San Jos\u00e9 California, to record experimental descriptions of 5 figurative works in permanent collection of the San Jos\u00e9 Museum of Art<\/a>. Their descriptions are so very powerful and evocative. I can’t wait to share them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are currently putting on the finishing touches before releasing the work into the world in early December 2021 as part of the exhibition, Our whole, unruly selves<\/a><\/em>. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sincere thanks to everyone at Teatro Visi\u00f3n and the San Jos\u00e9 Museum of Art who is making this project possible, and for so much patience and understanding during a particularly unruly time in my own life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I resorted to the old school cutting and pasting of transcripts approach which made the editing so much more manageable! Here are some pages fanned about on the kitchen floor with strips of paper transcripts held in place by painters tape, and a cacuphony of hand-written notes, arrows, underlining and scribbles. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
