Alumnus Danny Jauregui at the Acuna-Hansen Gallery: 'Better Late Than Never'

Danny Jauregui
Better Late Than Never (?)
April 26 - May 24, 2008
Acuna-Hansen Gallery, 427 Bernard St. in the Chinatown area of Los Angeles
Photographs of failed studio experiments and black on black paintings comprise the core of the anxiety provoking images in 'Better Late Than Never (?)', Danny Jauregui's second solo show at Acuna-Hansen Gallery. Oscillating between the language of representation and abstraction, and joining seemingly unrelated subject matter, Jauregui capitalizes on the anxiety created by the attempt to make connections between disparate parts. Teetering between awkwardness and invisibility, Jauregui makes apparent the social limitations of a studio-based practice and presents the viewer with a crisis of locality.

'Phantom Sightings' at LACMA
Los Angeles Times, By Christopher Knight, Times Art Critic, April 15, 2008
At the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the sprawling exhibition "Phantom Sightings: Art After the Chicano Movement," brings together a diverse and satisfying array of recent painting, sculpture, video, installation and mixed-media work. Sometimes the art is specific to questions of ethnic identity; often it's not. The exhibition was curated by Rita Gonzalez, a UCSD Visual Arts graduate, and included current UCSD Visual Arts faculty member Ruben Ortiz-Torres. More
