Ethno-techno
Art
Under the direction of artist Guillermo Gómez-Peña,
La Pocha is a unique arts organization devoted to developing models
of radical democracy through the arts, challenging the traditional
roles of the artist, and breaking down borders between art and
politics, audience and spectator, art practice and theory.
La Pocha's
performances are a hybrid of Museum of Natural History tableux,
Freak Show, border curio shop, porn window display and Tex-Mex
rave. The encounter is likely to induce a feeling of cultural
vertigo as you experience a unique combination of radical aesthetics,
Chicano humor, robo-baroque visual iconography, and the layering
of text spoken in English, Spanish, Spanglish, gringoñol
and shamanic tongues.
