Episode No. 634 is a holiday clips episode featuring artist Amalia Mesa-Bains.  The Phoenix Art Museum is presenting <a href= "https://phxart.org/exhibition/amalia-mesa-bains/">“Amalia Mesa-Bains: Archaeology of Memory,”</a> the first retrospective of the pioneering Chicana artist. The exhibition includes nearly 60 works including fourteen of Mesa-Bains’ major installations. It was curated by María Esther Fernández and Laura E. Pérez and is on view in Phoenix through February 25, 2024. The exhibition originated at the Berkeley Art Museum & Pacific Film Archive. The outstanding catalogue was published by BAMPFA in association with University of California Press. <a href= "https://amzn.to/3Zz2OXB">Amazon</a> and <a href= "https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780520395718">Indiebound</a> offer it for about $50. Across a half-century, <a href= "http://mesabains.com/">Mesa-Bains</a> has foregrounded Chicana forms such as altares (home altars), ofrendas (offerings to the dead), descansos (roadside resting places), and capillas (home yard shrines) within contemporary art. Her work often spotlights domestic spaces and the construction of landscape in ways that highlight colonial erasure. Among the museums which have presented solo exhibitions of Mesa-Bains’ work are the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Williams College Museum of Art, the Fowler Museum at UCLA, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
