In Invisible Tyrants: Finding the Masters Beyond These Shackles, Esteban del Valle addresses the hierarchal structures embedded in the conversation of privilege vs. accessibility and how those structures relates to notions of “good” and “bad” art.
“Growing up as a graffiti artist and having never lost my love for painting walls and illustration, I have found myself split between two different ‘art worlds’ with two different approaches to creativity. After watching a room full of my Skowhegan peers laugh and mock several painters I found myself relating to, I was forced to ask, ‘Who is right in this situation?'”
About the series:
Staging Sex, Staging Self is a series of artists’ talks that move over and under the line where the body meets language and where that same body asks, “how is it that I am this way?” This series hinges on the production of gender, theatricality, and culture.
