Coordinated by Robbin Dodds

“The second of a continuing series of exhibitions to present work outside the cultural and aesthetic mainstream brought together two diverse cooperative artist-run organizations. Heresies, a feminist collective, produced a walk around magazine installation, entitled, Classified: Big Pages By the Heresies Collective. Giant 6 x 8’ blowups of pages from the Collective’s journal contrasted real life and media representation of mothers. At the same time, En Foco, a group of Hispanic photographers, organized by La Gran Pasión, a collection of thirty photographers. These powerful, visual documents explored the intensity and rich ness of Latin culture.
