Codex Espangliensis / Gomez-Pena, Guillermo ; Chagoya, Enrique ; Rice, Felicia., 2000

 Item
Identifier: CC-38405-40310
Scope and Contents

The comments on the cover of this trade edition of a limited edition artist collaborative book project follow. " In a series of beautiful and jarring montages, the artists tell of the colonial conquest, cultural transformations, linguistic admixtures and economic interdependence that have formed the Americas...Rice's masterful typographic compositions orchestrate the many voices, weaving texts from Gomez-Pena's performances through and around the visual play of Chagoya's rhetorically sophisiticated collages, offering a critical analysis of border politics through a density of historical references and icons of popular culture."The book is bound like the ancient codex whose pages can be navigated as one continuous extended frieze. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
