Curated by Nericcio and Guillermo Nericcio García, the traveling exhibition emerged from the pages of Nericcio’s acclaimed 2007 book, “Tex[t]-Mex: Seductive Hallucinations of the Mexican in America.”</div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a" style="caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14.000000953674316px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">Rooted in the Chicano experience, Mextasy boldly confronts and redefines stereotypes of Mexicans pervasive in American mass culture. Nericcio, primarily known as a writer, unveils his artistic persona as Guillermo Nericcio García, reflecting the duality of his identity, hailing from the border town of Laredo, Texas.</div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a" style="caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14.000000953674316px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">Beyond showcasing racist artifacts, Mextasy introduces the concept of “xicanosmotic” art, featuring creations by Mexican-American artists like Raul Gonzalez III, Perry Vasquez, Rafaella Suarez, and Izel Vargas. Their works vividly embody the fusion of Mexican and U.S. borderlands, challenging and reshaping perceptions.</div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a" style="caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14.000000953674316px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">Mextasy serves not only as an exploration of Mexican culture but as a dynamic representation of Chicano identity and resilience. Nericcio’s transition from a writer to a Chicano artist further enriches the narrative, as he draws on his childhood passion for drawing and challenges the dehumanizing portrayals of Mexicans in American visual culture.</div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a" style="caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14.000000953674316px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">As Mextasy travels to galleries, universities, and cultural centers, it continues to amplify the voices of Chicano artists, offering a thought-provoking and visually compelling perspective on cultural identity and representation within the American landscape.</div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a" style="caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14.000000953674316px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="x3nfvp2 x1j61x8r x1fcty0u xdj266r xhhsvwb xat24cr xgzva0m xxymvpz xlup9mm x1kky2od" style="display: inline-flex; font-family: inherit; height: 16px; margin: 0px 1px; vertical-align: middle; width: 16px;"><img alt="🗓️" class="xz74otr" height="16" referrerpolicy="origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t5c/1/16/1f5d3.png" style="border: 0px; object-fit: fill;" width="16" /></span> Artist’s Talk & Mezcal Reception</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">2pm Saturday, February 10th</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">Moderated by Gustavo Arellano</div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a" style="caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14.000000953674316px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">This exhibition is supported in part by LibroMobile Arts Cooperative and free to the public.

This is a treasure--a used, but carefully kept 16mm film copy of a classic Warner Brothers animated short: "Daffy Duck and the Dinosaur" {1939},<br />
<br />
The film was property of the "San Diego County Library," and then SDSU, then, doomed to be jettisoned by the university, I saved it from the scrapheap. I screened it once at a kids party in 2005 and it has sit in my climate-controlled office since that time.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">WN: Mextasy is an art exhibition featuring outrageous stereotypes of Mexicans and other Latinas/os; additionally, it contains sculptures, drawings, photography, and other media that attack the notion of Mexicans as less-than-human in American mass culture. The show I opened along the Rio Grande river <a href="http://mextasy.blogspot.com/2010/08/updated-mextasy-poster-with-frame.html">in McAllen</a> (September, 2010) and in Laredo this December, <i>Mextasy</i>, is dedicated to the old motherland and my peculiar fatherland.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Mextasy</i> is more than a representation of ecstasy about or for Mexico; it is about the sensuous tracings Mexican culture leaves both sides of the border. More existential state than archive, <i>Mextasy</i> speaks to the living organism of Mexicanicity as it moves between the bodies of Mexico and the United States--an overt and covert delicious miasma that arouses as it excites, excites as it provokes. ¡Que viva Mexico!, within and without its borders.</span></span><br />

However, the book also includes original art, digital, photographic and hand-drawn, created by me. You know English Professors are known more for tweed and pomposity than their Picasso-like skills--for that reason I publish all my art under the name of Guillermo Nericcio García, what my name would have been if I had been born 10 blocks south of where I came into the world in Laredo, Texas--a bordertown with Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas. </span></span></div>

The story, by Suzy Exposito, was entitled “In Praise of Jenna Ortega, Aubrey Plaza and Moody, Deadpan Latinas.” Plaza beams when I mention it. “I loved that,” she says. “That shit is important to me, because that’s my whole thing. Even with April Ludgate, it was like, Come on. Sofia Vergara is not the only Latina personality. There’s other ones! A lot of the characters I play, even with <span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">White Lotus</span>—it’s important to normalize that there’s all kinds of different Latina people. I mean, all my Puerto Rican cousins are, like, morbid. Morbid shit is going on over there!”</i></p><p class="paywall" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Georgia, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><i>As Plaza and I commiserate about all the ways that Latinas can and do exist, her multiplicity comes into focus: her bicultural upbringing, her public and private selves, her ability to play taut characters like Emily the criminal and Harper the lawyer, snarling perverts like Lenny on the underappreciated sci-fi drama <span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Legion,</span> and more. What Plaza has done, and will do again, is let all these impulses coalesce.</i></p><p class="paywall" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Georgia, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><i>“She is a warm and snuggly person with people she trusts,” says Amy Poehler. “Kids love her because she doesn’t talk down to them and she isn’t afraid to be weird. She cares deeply and works really hard. She has a good sense of humor about herself. But don’t be fooled, she is a witch.”</i></p></div></blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><p class="paywall" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Georgia, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p></div><p><br /> </p>William A.

<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "times";">It begins with this bull, the Bordertown bull. Waking up after nineteen years in a small South Texas bordertown--Laredo, Texas, USA, to be exact. Throughout my childhood I thought that the mural featured on the Bordertown Drive-In was of a giant mutant bull, terrorizing the countryside and being attacked by U.S. Air Force jets as a giant cowboy heatedly pursued from behind.</span></b></div>

<div style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium;">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "times";">That is, I had read it wrong. The giant bull was merely a personal idiosyncratic creation, a misreading, owing to a mistake in perspective. Without the tools to understand the concept of perspective in an illustration, I had taken the mural at face value: giant drawing of bull = giant monster, mutant bull. That the animal was merely foregrounded and thus larger than its surroundings was, at the time, a concept as abstract as quantum mechanics or multilateral arms-control negotiations.</span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "times";">The mural in question faced out on the main strip leading out of and into Laredo and adorned the back side of a projection wall for the local drive-in called the Bordertown Twin Drive-In Theater. Some fifteen years ago, the Bordertown was a booming two-screen haven of movies, alcohol, and sexual abandon for auto aficionados, raucous families, and young adults on both sides of the Rio Grande River. But in the year 1988, that monument was slowly falling apart. No longer a haven for movie-goers, it was home to a flea market open on the weekends, where one could find various used articles, recycled furniture and a huge assortment of deserted, dated consumer artifacts that could have passed as trash in any dumpster. In the half-decade before the current period when the North American Free Trade Agreement and individuals associated with its passage were heralding the arrival of the New World Order, the Bordertown Drive-in was an icon for Laredo itself--a depressed market selling trash in various disguises as merchandise. But then again even <i>trash</i> is not trash in and of itself; <i>trash</i> is not a generic designation (trash for one may be treasure to another). Given the depleted economic resources of the city, even trash might be repackaged in some way so as serve a purpose or garnish a profit. Even the Drive-In had been repackaged as a <i>pulga</i>, as a flea market</span></b></div>

<div style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium;">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "times";">But let us not allow the caress of nostalgia to blind us from the present for I must report that the Bordertown Drive-In/<i>pulga</i> is no more.</span></b></div>

<div style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium;">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "times";">The Godzilla-esque bull has been erased from the space of Laredo--my photograph must proxy for the structure as a kind of ersatz visual relic.</span></b></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium;">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "times";"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium;">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "times";">The structure was torn town and sold to the Wal-Mart corporation. On the site of the giant cow arose the specter of what is known as Sam’s Warehouse--a discount marketer of groceries and other assorted sundries. Gross sales of Laredo’s Sam’s Warehouse and Wal-Mart were so huge that just before his death in 1992, Sam Walton flew to Laredo to celebrate his profits. Walton was visibly weak and ailing as he greeted cheering workers and shoppers like some latter-day vision of Cortez.</span></b></div>
