“Celebration”: Live Performance Art by Jesus Benavente and Jennifer Remenchik, Music by DJ Andrew Alter. $5 General Public / Free for Members

American art critic Clement Greenberg’s paper “Can Taste Be Objective?” suggests there is a “consensus of taste” in which disputed taste eventually is agreed upon by all parties. The curator utilizes this concept to showcase past Young Latino Artists’ current work and their development into professional visual artists. Mexic-Arte Museum, in partnership with the Serie Project, also presents a special edition commemorative serigraph print by Matthew Rodriguez.
