NOW ON VIEW! A virtual exhibition series, Aquí y Allá!⁠ ⁠ Francisco Toledo’s “Self-Portrait” is unlike any self-portrait by any other artist that I know. Made of mica, a favorite medium of Toledo’s, cutouts were stitched together to fit the outlines of his feet, creating an autonomous, beautiful, if unsettling object. Indeed, upon reflection, “Self Portrait” acts as a trigger to wonder, a poetic reminder to all of us to keep moving, keep looking, keep being amazed by the road, the camino, where our feet take us.⁠ ⁠ 🦶🦶🦶🦶🦶🦶🦶🦶⁠ ⁠ Toledo's Feet⁠ Francisco Toledo (Mexican, 1940 - 2019)⁠ 2007⁠ Gift of the Estate of Dr. and Mrs. James L.

Are you looking for a creative outlet? Or a chance to learn more about printmaking? 🖊️ Inspired by our current virtual exhibition "Dan McCleary: Oaxaca, 20 Years of Prints from the Taller Sangfer," we are hosting a two-day printmaking workshop on Tuesday, March 30th and April 6th at 4 PM (pst)!⁠ ⁠ In this two-day workshop, participants will learn the basic techniques of intaglio printmaking from home using minimal supplies and equipment. Participants will create their own dry-point etching and will learn how to print without using a traditional press. ⁠ ⁠ The workshop requires some basic background in art-making, but all levels are welcome. For ages 13 and up.⁠ ⁠ Prior to the workshop, participants will receive a list of supplies required. A limited number of scholarships are available for art kits.⁠ ⁠ 👉🏽 RSVP by emailing Maria Galicia at galiciam@usc.edu 👈🏽⁠ ⁠ #USCFisherMusuem #printmaking #intaglio #prints #artworkshop #etching

🏹 Coming soon! A virtual exhibition series, Aquí y Allá!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ In 1983, the USC Fisher Gallery broke barely tilled ground with "Aquí: 27 Latin American Artists Living and Working in the United States." Included were Carlos Almaraz, Roberto Gil de Montes, Liliana Porter, Luis Cruz Azaceta, Alfredo Jaar, Luis Camnitzer, and Ana Mendieta among others. Many of the artists we showed built well-established reputations. Some, including Ana Mendieta, Carlos Almaraz, and Luis Frangella, have since died, leaving their marks on a revised art history canon.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ It would no longer be correct to name a show Aquí. We recognize that identity slips and slides, multiplies, and divides, adds, and subtracts. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ We are pleased to announce a series of virtual exhibitions entitled "Aquí y Allá," that reflects Fisher’s long-time, multi-faceted, Mexico-related collecting and the complexity of place.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The first exhibition will feature the works of #ElMaestro Francisco Toledo and will be live before the end of March, so keep your eyes on our social media for the announcement!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 🏹 🔵 🏹 🔵 🏹 🔵⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Francisco Toledo⁠⠀ "Diana"⁠⠀ 1997⁠⠀ Gouache on paper⁠⠀ 9 5/8 x 12 1/4 in.⁠⠀ Gift of the Estate of Dr. and Mrs. James L Sheehy⁠⠀ Estate of Francisco Toledo⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #USCFisherMuseum #VirtualExhibition #AquíyAllá #PermanentCollection #MuseumFromHome #FranciscoToledo⁠⠀ ⁠⠀

📣 We are SO THRILLED to announce Héroes de la Comunidad/Community Heroes, a COVID-19 zine! 📣⁠ ⁠ Students of the MacArthur Park arts organization @artdivisionla, with the guidance of @uscroski MFA graduate student José Guadalupe Sánchez III (@theotrajose) in collaboration with the USC Fisher Museum and the support of @usc_actsinaction, have created a graphic art publication (in both digital and print form) in English and Spanish.⁠ ⁠ “Our design was meant to contrast the sterile, informational pamphlets many of us have been bombarded with, especially when information changed frequently and there was misinformation being spread around; 'Community Heroes' is vibrant, informative, and humanizes essential workers, specifically those in the Latinx community.” – Vanessa Melesio, Zine Artist⁠ ⁠ So far more than 1000 physical copies of the zine have been distributed throughout the surrounding neighborhood and to the larger Los Angeles community! 😷⁠ ⁠ 👉🏽AND on March 19th, large-scale graphics from the zine will be installed in three bus shelters in the MacArthur Park neighborhood as part of the Community Activation project run by @outfrontdecaux. We are excited to soon share the installation process and photos of the completed beautiful bus shelter graphics, so keep on an eye on our social media!👈🏽⁠ ⁠ Use the link 🔗 in our bio to learn more about the collaborative project and to explore the zine in detail.⁠ ⁠ #USCFisherMuseum #USCRoski #ArtDivision ##USCArtsInAction #zine #PublicHealth #MacArthurPark #LosAngeles #Westlake #GraphicArt #SpanishLanguage #ArtProject #CommunityHeroes ⁠
