José Villalobos: groomed

March 28 - May 19,2024

From Artpace: "José Villalobos's exhibition, groomed, conveys the effects of machismo within Norteño culture. Through sculpture and performance, Villalobos displays a nuanced and proud connection to his heritage, withstanding the historic and violent undercurrents of homophobia that exist within it. José Villalobos grew up on the US/Mexico border in El Paso, TX. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Texas at San Antonio. He was awarded the Artist Lab Fellowship Grant for his work, De La Misma Piel, at the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center. Villalobos is a recipient of the Joan Mitchell Painters & Sculptors Grant Award and Residency and the Tanne Foundation Award. His work has been exhibited in the nationally recognized exhibition Trans America/n: Gender, Identity, Appearance Today at the McNay Art Museum in San Antonio, TX; Artpace, San Antonio, TX; San Antonio Museum of Art, San Antonio, TX; NARS Foundation, New York, NY; the Mexic-Arte Museum, Austin, TX; El Paso Museum of Art, TX; El Museo de Arte de Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, Phoenix Art Museum, AZ, and Denver Art Museum, CO."
