You might have caught Hec­tor Her­nan­dez’ reveal­ing inter­views with emerg­ing artists on his con­tem­po­rary art blog, Art Czar. Her­nan­dez is also a mem­ber of Los Out­siders, an Austin based artists col­lec­tive that curates cul­tur­ally dri­ven exhi­bi­tions along­side col­lab­o­ra­tors Michael Anthony Gar­cia and Jamie Castillo. Recently, the col­lec­tive curated “Hasta La Basura Se Sep­ara” (Eng­lish: Even the Trash Gets Sorted.) Los Out­sider curate a very a pro­pos exhi­bi­tion tying together artists across the Mex­i­can dias­pora in, “Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow.”

“Pre­sented at the Emma S. Bar­ri­en­tos Mex­i­can Amer­i­can Cul­tural Cen­ter (MACC), “HEIR today, gone tomor­row”, weaves together the works of var­i­ous Amer­i­can, Mex­i­can and Span­ish artists to explore the com­plex­i­ties of inher­i­tance, legacy and human inter­ac­tion. The gallery space becomes a jour­nal and the audi­ence, a voyeur, div­ing into the details. The art­work are a meta-​cognitive exam­i­na­tion of who we are through our rela­tion­ships, cul­tural and genetics.”

HEIR today, gone tomor­row includes the work of Daniel Adame (Hous­ton, TX), Aisen Caro Chacin (Austin, TX), Paco Cas­tro (Guadala­jara, Mex­ico), Gabriel Dawe (Dal­las, TX), Car­los Don­juan (Dal­las, TX), San­ti­ago Forero (Austin, TX), Eduardo Xavier Gar­cia (Austin, TX), Ser­gio Gar­cia (Dal­las, TX), William Hund­ley (Austin, TX), Kristy Perez (San Anto­nio, TX), Car­los Rosales-​Silva (Austin, TX), Rubén Verdú (Barcelona, Spain), Amelia Winger-​Bearskin (Nashville, Ten­nessee) and Los Out­sider cura­tors Michael Anthony Gar­cía (Austin, TX), and Hec­tor Her­nan­dez (Austin, TX). The artists have pro­duced works of pho­tog­ra­phy, instal­la­tion, sculp­ture, and paint­ing to explore what we inherit and what we pass onto oth­ers. Some of the works have been specif­i­cally pro­duced for the exhibition.

Opens Fri­day, June 24^th with a recep­tion from 7 – 9 pm in the main gallery. The exhibit will run through August 27, 2011.
