Art by Rodrigo Valenzuela, Alongside ¡Bocón!
As part of its new Artist in Residence program, Majestic Theatre is hosting a display of video art by award-winning Chilean video artist and photographer Rodrigo Valenzuela. Beginning Saturday, Feb. 9 with the showing of theatrical perfomance ¡Bocón!, the display runs through Feb. 28. Two of Valenzuela’s video works will be featured, including Diamond Box and Marcha, for free and open public viewing.
Diamond Box works to bring humanity and reality to migrant workers, dispelling unjust assumptions about so-called “illegals.” A variety of individuals were interviewed and given a chance to tell their stories to the camera.
Marcha explores the gaze as revealing of doubt and power. The piece consists of two screens displaying the same military parade. Each has a different focus: one on the vulnerability of individual faces striving to embody and emulate a group behavior, and the other on the loss of individualization in the march.
