poster for Miguel Trelles & Amy Westpfahl "Velvet & Silk"

This event has ended.

Velvet & Silk addresses the intersection of art, politics, and history as well as the interface of indigenous and popular culture in North American society today.

Amy Westpfahl’s work addresses recent/contemporary events while Miguel Trelles reinterprets classic and post-classic Mesoamerican icons.
Through various silkscreens, Trelles stresses the endurance of Mesoamerican iconography, highlighting its ritual “sacrifice” content as eminently pertinent today. This telescoping of the ancient into the contemporary sphere is further achieved by projecting/framing the Mesoamerican unto/within popular rock music emblems.
