¡Atención, Detención!Monday September 30, 2019
8:00 AM until 5:00 PM
The South Texas College Art Department presents “¡Atención, Detención!” an art exhibition featuring works by artist, Angel Cabrales. The exhibit opens on September 30, and will be available to view Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. until October 24, 2019, at the Art Department Gallery located on the Pecan Campus, building B-103.
In 2009, Angel Cabrales received an MFA from the University of North Texas, and is currently an Assistant Professor of Sculpture at the University of Texas - El Paso. He has exhibited his artwork in many cities throughout the Southwest.
¡Atención, Detención! merges two installations that were created years apart and speaks on immigration issues that have been around for decades. Fencing materials are used in Cabrales' work as an allegory for child detention centers and the militarization of the U.S. and Mexican border.
On Thursday, October 3rd from 5:30-6:30PM, an art forum featuring Angel Cabrales, Veronica Cardenas, and Pedro Perez will take place at the Pecan Campus in the library’s Rainbow Room, Building F.
Following the art forum, a reception will be held for Angel Cabrales at the STC Art Department Gallery, building B until 7:30PM. Cabrales will be present during the reception. The exhibition, art forum, and reception are free and open to the public.
