The Serious Business of Being Funny in "A Postmodernist Says ¿Qué?” at Centro de Artes, San Antonio

"In A Postmodernist Says Qué?, these ideas emerge through a variety of lived and abstract experiences acting in conversation with one another throughout the gallery. Artworks convey domestic life, a charged political climate, cuisines, a negotiation of mental health, luchador culture, historical references, nature, medicine, religion, and a strong Texan sensibility, overwhelmingly tied together by humor. Among the artists featured in the exhibition is Richard “Ricky” Armendariz, whose work I’ve long admired for its embodiment of the U.S.-Mexico borderlands experience. Ya Me Voy A Therapy touches on cultural tensions surrounding masculinity in Latino communities."  - Christopher Karr
