Un Grito from the Great Lakes: Works by Dylan Miner
Galería América, University of Notre Dame, South Bend, IN
Hangs through 03 December 2011 (Possibly moving to Crossroads Gallery afterwards)
Last week, I traveled to South Bend, Indiana to create a site-specific painting for my show at Galería América, University of Notre Dame. For those that don’t know, Notre Dame has a wonderful Institute for Latino Studies, which includes two art galleries, one on campus (Galería América) and one in downtown South Bend (Crossroads Gallery). Prof. Gil Cardenas, Director of the Institute, is a huge patron of the arts and a supporter of Latino printmaking. I have known Gil for a few years and was happy when he invited me to do a show in Galería América. Since the show has a short run, it may continue into the new year at Crossroads Gallery.
While the show includes a bunch of prints, I also created a 12’ x 8’ painting on wood, as well as a 4’ x 8’ painting of an ICE agent as an umpire. Additionally, I made a limited-edition zine of two comics that I created for Harvey Pekar’s Studs Terkel’s Working: A Graphic Adaptation (New Press, 2009). While my comic on Roberto Acuña was included in the published edition, my comic on Jesusita Novarro was edited from the final version because the press needed to trim some fat form the book’s length. I compilied both of these into a zine called Todavía Trabajando, which is available today in the store. Click here to purchase it before it's gone!
