The Trail of Thirst: Delilah Montoya
Patricia Correia Gallery
2525 Michigan Ave., E-2

310.264.1760
Dates: March 29 - May 10, 2008
Reception: March 28, 2008, 5-8pm
Patricia Correia Gallery is proud to present Delilah Montoya in her second solo exhibition at the gallery. In The Trail of Thirst, Montoya continues to examine the subject of her collaborative installation, Sed: The Trail of Thirst.
Arranged in a three-hundred-sixty degrees panoramic view, the photographic images of arid desert landscapes lay bare what thousands of migrant workers crossing Arizona’s Sonora desert face on their journey to a better life. The clandestine landscapes, scattered with jugs of water, backpacks, and other remnants, emphasize the complexity and destitution of life along the trail.
Delilah Montoya is a professor of Photography and Digital Media at the University of Houston, TX. She received her MFA in Studio Art from the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque. She has been selected for numerous solo and group exhibitions in Los Angeles, New York, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Mexico, France, and Ukraine. Her work can be found in the following permanent collections: Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, CA; Houston Museum of Fine Art, Houston, TX; Mexican Museum, San Francisco, CA; The Bronx Museum, Bronx, NY; Smithsonian Institute, Washington, D.C.; UCLA Wight Gallery, Los Angeles, CA; Stanford University Libraries, Stanford, CA; Armand Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, CA; Museum of Fine Arts; Santa Fe, NM.
In 2005, Montoya received grants from the University of Houston Small Grants Program and the Cultural Council of Houston and Harris County to create her photographic series titled Women Boxers. This body of work is accompanied by a catalogue, Women Boxers: The New Warriors, which is available for purchase at the gallery.
Currently, Delilah Montoya’s works can be seen at Phantom Sightings: Art After the Chicano Movement at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, running April 6 through September 1, 2008.

Chicano Triumph
Patricia Correia Gallery
2525 Michigan Ave., E-2
Santa Monica, CA 90404
310.264.1760
Dates: March 29 - May 10, 2008
Reception: March 28, 2008, 5-8pm
Patricia Correia Gallery is proud to present, in association with the Arizona State University Hispanic Research Center (HRC), Chicano Triumph, twenty works on paper, primarily serigraphs and lithographs, from the collection of the HRC. Artists represented are:
Cristina Cárdenas • Daniel Martín Díaz • Xavier Garza • Ester Hernández • Celina Hinojosa • Luis Jiménez • Alma López • Felix López • Joe L. López • Laura López Cano • Mónica Aíssa Martínez • Malaquías Montoya • Ann-Michelle Morales • Martín Moreno • Santiago Pérez • Carlos Santiestevan • Larry Yañez
The works in this exhibit treat themes common in Chicana/o art such as family, community, immigration, biculture, spirituality, and cultural symbols. While the artworks have themes in common, a major feature of Chicana/o art is diversity. The artists in this exhibit represent five of the states in the Southwestern United States with large and growing Latina/o populations and vibrant arts communities. Their styles are diverse -from primitive to highly realistic to abstract- and their backgrounds are as diverse as their art. Many of the works in this exhibition have been featured in various museum exhibitions and can be found in permanent collections.
The Arizona State University Hispanic Research Center archives the largest collection of artwork and images by U.S. Latinos. Growing out of this archive, the HRC has created four award-winning art books, a DVD-ROM, an interview series with Chicana/o artists, and an international arts Latina/o festival. The HRC is an interdisciplinary unit dedicated to research and creative activities on a broad range of topics related to Hispanic populations. It disseminates research findings to the academic community and the public, engages in creative activities and makes them available generally, and provides public service in areas of importance to Hispanics.

Face It! Barbara Carrasco
Patricia Correia Gallery
2525 Michigan Ave., E-2
Santa Monica, CA 90404
Dates: February 16 - March 22, 2008
Reception: February 16, 5 - 8PM
Patricia Correia Gallery is proud to present FACE IT!, recent works by Barbara Carrasco in her first solo exhibition at the gallery.
Unlike the large-scale, socially conscious works Barbara Carrasco is recognized for, FACE IT! is a collection of miniature to small-scale silverpoint portraits focusing on various emotional states of being which are solely expressed through the face. Inspired by the religious iconography she was exposed to during her early years in Catholic school, Carrasco infuses her portraits with the vivid imagery of pain and ecstasy conveyed in the expressions of the Saints. The minute proportion of the works aims to draw the viewer for a closer inspection, focusing their gaze on the delicate, yet decisive strokes that compose each portrait and, at the same time, intimately drawing them to the emotion that each face evokes.
