2018 ART CENTRAL HONG KONG 艺术博览会

Rafa Esparza grew up painting and drawing but was more familiar with the murals and crafts within his family and community than with contemporary galleries or museums. As he got older, he nurtured a relationship to performance by joining his East L.A. neighbors’ sweat lodges and ceremonies, questioning their creation myths and rigid gender roles while enacting their ancient traditions. The modern institution would become more alienating, so he went back outside. – 拉法埃斯帕扎在绘画和绘画方面长大，但他对家庭和社区中的壁画和工艺品比对当代画廊或博物馆更熟悉。随着年龄的增长，他加入了他的东洛杉矶邻居的汗流浃背和仪式，在继承他们古老的传统的同时质疑他们的创造神话和僵化的性别角色，从而培养了与表演的关系。现代制度会变得更加疏远，所以他回到外面去了。
