LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENTDear MOLAA family,It seems hard to believe that it has been a year since my wife Peggyand I left New Mexico and arrived in Long Beach so that I could assumethe helm of the Museum of Latin American Art. It has been gratifyingto receive such a warm welcome from MOLAA members and staffand be embraced by a new and wonderful community. We are deeplyappreciative of the support and warmth we have received and lookforward to continuing to grow the many relationships that we have begunand to forge new ones as well.My first year of tenure at MOLAA has been full of activity withgroundbreaking exhibitions like Mex/LA, Play with Me and Curator IdurreAlonso’s creative endeavor, Tell Me a Tall Story. Our exceptional new fallexhibitions of Lola Alvarez Bravo and Debora Arango, which opened inSeptember, lead us into an equally exciting exhibition schedule for 2013.Our events department has been busy bringing programs to the publicStuart and Estrella in New Mexicoincluding the recent “Night in Havana” with the musical group TradiSón,who traveled here from Havana to play to an audience of over 600 in the Robert Gumbiner Sculpture Garden. We re-engaged Gregorio Lukeas our “Lecturer-in-Residence” and he presented an exciting series of Murals under the Stars. Stay tuned for more offerings from this talentedspeaker and performer.Our wildly popular travel program has conducted two cultural exchanges in Cuba and plans trips to Mexico and Argentina in the near future.Your membership affords you the opportunity of participating in these exciting lifetime learning adventures, so check our website regularly forupcoming trips.Our Education Department had a sold out summer art camp season and continues to build partnerships with area schools. One initiative wehave undertaken, after learning of the difficulties that schools have in getting field trip funding, is to purchase our own school bus. This wouldenable us to offer free field trips to schools that don’t have the funding to come to the Museum. We mounted a fundraising campaign andhave raised over $20,000 to date. If you would like to contribute to this effort, please go to: http://www.molaa.myevent.com/Through a significant grant from TARGET, we are now able to offer free admission every Sunday, making MOLAA accessible to a wider public.Our Development Department continues to seek funding opportunities through corporations, foundation grants and individual donations. Thekey to MOLAA’s growth and our ability to continue to bring world class exhibitions of modern and contemporary art to Southern California dependsupon sufficient funding. If you have any ideas, or leads in terms of funding opportunities for the Museum, please feel free to contact me directly.As 2012 draws to a close, I want to take this opportunity to thank you, MOLAA members, for your support and interest in the Museum. I wishyou a festive holiday season with family and friends and look forward to your participation in the many exciting exhibitions and programs thatwe have planned for 2013.I look forward to seeing you at MOLAA soon!Stuart A. AshmanPresident and C.E.O.2-WELCOMEPROJECT ROOM:CAMILO ONTIVEROS: IN THE RINGOCTOBER 11, 2012 – FEBRUARY 17, 2013Camilo Ontiveros is a conceptual artist whose work has alwaysreflected his interest in sociopolitical themes, especially those relevantto his own life, such as issues inherent to the city of Los Angeles:immigration, power relations, underground economies, recycling andthe value of the objects in a consumerist society.For MOLAA’s exhibition the artist proposes a broad investigation ofFilipino and Mexican boxers. The blazing career of the Filipino boxerManny Pacquiao in the last decade, and his epic fights against Mexicanboxers have resulted in an interest from the mass media for matchesbetween fighters from both countries. These matches have generateda relationship between the Mexican and Filipino public as well. In fact,the relationship between Mexico and the Philippines is not new.In 1521, Ferdinand Magellan arrived in the Philippines and proclaimedthe island as part of the Spanish empire, but it was not until 1565with the arrival in Mexico of Miguel López de Legazpi, that the firstcolonies were established. From that moment until 1821, the Philippineswas ruled by the Viceroy of New Spain in Mexico. The maritime routethat Andrés de Urdaneta founded between the Philippines and Mexicoturned into the main entrance for Asian products headed to Americaand Spain. Annually, several ships sailed from Manila, known as theNaos of China. From 1565 to 1815, the Nao of China followed the sameroute, taking goods, such as mangos and coconut palm trees, that arenow associated with Latin American culture, but which wereunknown until then. The importance of the Nao of China goes beyondthe trade of silk, ivory or coconuts; Tagalog, for example, has morethan a thousand words in Náhuatl, including words such as tianguisor Palenque, as well as thousands of words with Spanish roots.In addition, many of the inhabitants of the Mexican coast of Guerreroand Oaxaca have Filipino origins; therefore the exportation of goodsalso brought forth the immigration of people and a cultural exchangethat is evident in other arenas such as cuisine and religion.Due to Spanish dominance, the Spanish-American War and theTreaty of Paris signed in 1898 between Spain and the United States,the Philippines came under U.S. domination and did not achieve itsindependence until 1946, yet again, another historical parallel thatbrings both countries close; a complex relationship of domination bythe United States.In this exhibition, as in the rest of his works, Ontiveros provokes theviewer to look beyond; the central focus of the exhibition is a boxingring from which we are confronted with a wall of images in whichFilipino and Mexican boxers train or fight each other. To the side, aprojection with a mirror makes the viewer a participant in a boxingtraining session in Mindanao. Camilo Ontiveros shows us that twocenturies after the last ship sailed the Manila-Acapulco route, Mexicoand the Philippines have found each other again, through a thirdcountry that mediates the relationship between them by stagingmillion dollar boxing matches that create significant economic profit.Camilo Ontiveros: In the Ring is an immersion in the intersection ofboth cultures but far from mystifying the encounter, the artist proposesthe possibility of repeating the colonial relationship of the past.The Andy Warhol Foundation for Visual ArtsCAMILO ONTIVEROS (Mexico, b. 1978), Empate / Tie, 2010, (Detail) digital imageEXHIBITIONS – 3

PERMANENT COLLECTIONRECENT ACQUISITIONSexperimenting from the 1940s through 1980.Although in recent years the unique body ofabstract work by Matiz has gained attention, itwas not recognized during his lifetime, eventhough his figurative photography was wellestablished. However, he insisted on continuingto develop his body of work that focused onabstraction. It was not until 2005 that manyunpublished photographs and others printedposthumously were exhibited in Bogotá andMexico and shown last year in the exhibitionCold America, Geometric Abstraction in LatinAmerica, at the Fundación Juan March, Madrid,curated by Osbel Suárez. Caracas: Homage toMondrian is an abstract photograph formed by acomposition of buildings under construction,scaffoldings, metal bars and foliage, representingthe birth of Modernism in Caracas in the 1950s.The grid of vertical and horizontal lines refers tothe work of Piet Mondrian (1872-1944), animportant leader of the development of abstractpainting who was also a reference for many LatinAmerican artists working with abstraction.MOLAA is proud to present the following recent acquisitions to our PermanentCollection: On the Construction of the Real Tower of Babel, 1996, by Cuban artistCarlos Garaicoa (b. 1967); Diablitos, Tijuana, and Escaleras, Tijuana, both from2004, by Ingrid Hernández (Mexico, b. 1974); Caracas: Homage to Mondrian, 1950,by Leo Matiz (Colombia, b. 1918-1998); Mickey/Novia from the series Disguise,by Liliana Porter (Argentina, b. 1941) and Big Bang, 2012, by Rubén Ortiz-Torres(México, b. 1964). These works have been on display at MOLAA in variousexhibitions throughout the year.Carlos Garaicoa’s work focuses on how historyand the socio-political situation of Cuba becomevisible in its architecture. By creating installations,videos, or photographs, always within the contextof Cuba, the artist explores the ironies of moderncities in ruins and the need for political commitmenttowards architecture, reinventing places andurban solutions through fiction. In the last threedecades, the architecture in Cuba has turnedinto a nostalgic ruin due to the abandonment ofurban projects after the fall of European socialismand the decline of the Cuban economy, leavingcities such as Havana in a dream-like time halt.Acerca de la Construccion de la Verdadera Torrede Babel, 1996, is a commentary on ruins andutopia, as well as an example of the representationof landscape based in a real place with theincorporation of elements of the imagination.Garaicoa draws a critical but sentimentalarchitectural solution next to the photograph ofurban space in ruins in Havana, which is unfeasibleand absurd. Ingrid Hernández is interested inalternative modes of living and subverting thestereotype of poverty by focusing on domesticspaces, so that people don’t see these forms ofliving with pity or exoticism. For the artist, thedomestic space is where people project beliefs,desires and expectations. Intimate spaces are asort of “psychological geography transported tothe realm of objects.” The photographs Diablitos,Tijuana and Escaleras, Tijuana, are part of herseries titled Compressed Tijuana, 2005, whichwas a project in the settlement of “New Hope”(colonia Nueva Esperanza) in Tijuana. Hernándezstudied the urban growth of the settlement,interviewed the residents on themes about family,migration, socioeconomic issues, their personalperception of the settlement, quality of housingand communal organization. At the end of theproject (December 2005) she had an exhibitionof her photos in Nueva Esperanza, where thecommunity was able to see the images andexchange feedback. The works by Ingrid Hernándezand Carlos Garaicoa were included in the exhibition1 1Anywhere Better Than This Place: Selectionsfrom MOLAA’s Permanent Collection (January12–June 30, 2012) curated by Selene Preciado.2MOLAA acquired the following work thanks to thekind donations of artists, galleries and collectorsto our 1st Exhibition Fund Auction, The Wave,organized by MOLAA’s curatorial department(May 12, 2012). In some cases, works that werenot sold were added to our permanent collection.Liliana Porter is an artist who since the sixtieshas been experimenting with conceptual art,photography and video, as well as the mediumsof painting, drawing and collage. Her work playswith our understanding of time and realitythrough the use of inanimate objects and narrativesthat are activated by the gaze of the viewer andin constructed vignettes of situations that can beinterpreted politically or philosophically. Mickey /Novia, 2009, is part of the series Disguise, whichincludes 12 photographs of figurines with masksand disguises, fulfilling their desire to becomesomeone or something else. In this series, Porterresorts to her use of found objects that sheobtains in flea markets or antique stores, creatingpoetic and eerie settings with unusual charactersand dialogues that reflect the distress andbanality of the human condition.Big Bang, 2012, is a work that was produced forMOLAA’s first interactive art exhibition Play withMe (June 16–September 1, 2012) and donated tothe Museum by Rubén Ortiz-Torres, a Mexicanartist who has lived in Los Angeles since 1990. Inhis work, characterized by his analysis of postcolonialismand globalization, he utilizes a widearray of mediums including painting, photography,video, mixed-media, collage and everydayobjects. He challenges the way we viewand understand “high” and “low” art and popularculture. Trained initially as a painter, his preoccupationwith the medium of paint has gone beyond theaestheticism and purism of abstraction, especiallysince the early 2000s when he began toincorporate elements of lowrider culture throughthe use of auto painting techniques in his works.Ortiz-Torres titled one of the first series of paintingswhere he used these techniques, Impure Beauty,in reference to artist John Baldessari, whosevisual juxtapositions and pop culture referencesin his work have set a precedent for manycontemporary artists working within this particularlanguage. Impure Beauty was composed ofimages of silkscreened camouflage patterns with“chameleon” paint, which changed colordepending on how light hit the surface. Continuingwith his interest in the parallels between theintricate process of car painting and traditionaloil painting, which includes the preparation, priming,and different base coating of the surface, he hasbeen experimenting with “candy” paint, whichhas a finish similar to “Finish Fetish” works fromthe 1960s—a movement by artists whose workswere handcrafted but purposefully made toseem too perfect, as if they were made bymachines. Big Bang, 2012 belongs to a recentseries of works made with thermo-chromic paint;a paint which is sensitive to heat and changescolor when touched, due to body temperature.Ortiz-Torres’ intention is to subvert the role of thevisitor in front of a painting, which traditionally isonly to look at it, inviting him/her to “complete”the composition with markings produced byhis/her body.Caracas: Homage to Mondrian, 1950/2011, is onview in Tell me a Tall Story (July 15–November 30,2012), the current permanent collection exhibitionat MOLAA curated by Idurre Alonso. Leo Matiz isa pioneer of abstract photography in Latin America,3These six works are a selection from acquisitionsmade from December 2011 through June 2012.The thought-provoking work by Rubén Ortiz-Torres’expands the scope of MOLAA’s painting collectionby including this experimental and interactivepainting that requires the participation of thepublic to be completed. The photographic workslisted above enhance MOLAA’s photographycollection, whose development has been thefocus of curator Idurre Alonso. The photographsincorporate the presence of important figuressuch as Modern photographer Leo Matiz,internationally recognized artist Carlos Garaicoaand the young artist Ingrid Hernández.IMAGE CREDITS:1.CARLOS GARAICOA (CUBA, B. 1967)Acerca de la Construcción de la Verdadera Torre de Babel/ On the Construction of the Real Tower of Babel, 1996Print and photoGift of Geoffrey BeaumontM.2011.012.a-b2.LILIANA PORTER (Argentina, b. 1941)Lulu from the series Disguise, 2009Solar printGift of the artistM.2012.0093.LEO MATIZ (Colombia, 1918-1998)Caracas: Homage to Mondrian/Caracas: Homenaje a Mondrian, 1950/2011Gelatin silver print on paperGift of the Leo Matiz FoundationM.2012.0014 – EXHIBITIONSEXHIBITIONS – 5

The project committee selected María Elena Ortiz, a PuertoRican curator residing in Mexico City, to mount an exhibition of her projectWhere ever you roam.Where ever you roam is an exhibition that not only investigates the artifacts used todemand democratic alternatives in the public arena, but also evokes reflection on theprotesting strategies of our times. Pushing the boundaries of political correctness andsocial protocol, the artworks in the exhibition reconsider political norms to question theirrelevance as a tool for social emancipation. Where ever you roam presents the work ofJosé Carlos Martinant (Peru), Joaquín Segura (Mexico), Jason Mena (Puerto Rico) andJuan Caloca (Mexico). These artists focus their artistic investigations on the archeologyof a public demonstration as a normative system and the creative outlets necessary toignite the cry of an opposing voice.IMAGE CREDITS: JOSE CARLOS MARTINAT (PERU, B. 1974)CINE MOLAAin Collaboration with Hola Mexico presents: Felix: Selffictionsof a Smuggler / Felix: Autoficciones de un traficanteTHURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8 @ 8:00PMMembers: Free | Non-Members: $10Felix is a home-movie actor and human trafficker in Tijuana.

DÍA DE LOS MUERTOS: THEN AND NOWPARTNERS IN THE ARTS 2011 - 2012Special thanks to the following donors who generously contributed to MOLAA betweenSeptember 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012.Over 3,000 years ago, the Aztecs celebrated and honored the deceased with ceremonies and rituals. Afterthe Spanish arrived in Mexico and the Americas in the 16th century, rather than renounce their history,indigenous groups in the Americas elected to blend ancient traditions with those of the Catholic Churchby forming what we know of today as Día de los Muertos, a holiday celebrated on November 1st and 2nd.In cities as diverse as Los Angeles and Long Beach, Día de los Muertoscontinues to evolve, including new traditions. Altars now make politicalstatements or honor Hollywood starlets, one can attend a galleryopening featuring artists commemorating the departed, or one canmeet up with friends at local celebrations featuring Aztec dance ritualsand contemporary musicians. Rather than mourn the loss of friendsand loved ones who have departed, Día de los Muertos rejoices inremembering them and is a holiday that serves as an affirmation of life.On Sunday, October 28, 2012, MOLAA will host its annual Target FreeSunday Dia de los Muertos Festival. This free event includes artworkshops, face painting, sugar skull decorating, performances bylocal artists, an Altar Contest Display, and a community altar honoringChavela Vargas (Costa Rican-born singer, especially known for herrendition of Mexican rancheras). The tamborazo group Quelite will kickoff the event with the sounds of Zacatecas followed by an Aztecdance group, Danzantes del Sol, who will perform ritual dances.Mariachi Romanza will put a traditional twist on oldies, and BoogalooAssassins will close the event with the pulsating sounds of East CoastLatin Soul.
