Ed Gomez: Sacred Disruption

January 25 @ 6:00 pm - March 8 @ 5:00 pm

WHITTIER – Sacred Disruption is a solo exhibition by MexiCali Biennial co-founder and director Ed Gomez at MXCL BNL LAB Whittier as part of the PARA/normal Borders Lab. Curated by Armando Pulido.

For nearly 25 years, Ed Gomez – artist, curator, educator, and co-founder of the MexiCali Biennial – has interrogated power structures with every proverbial hat he wears. Ed Gomez: Sacred Disruption traces this cyclical critique through the languages of painting, sculpture, and design within the artist’s practice. The exhibition brings together work from across the artist’s practice, particularly highlighting the ways he has used space exploration, extraterrestrial presence, and apocalyptic myths to make sense of political realities involving surveillance, policing, and control in the United States.

Before assuming his current role as Associate Professor of Studio Art at California State University, San Bernardino, Gomez worked several jobs as an art preparator and handler for various museums and private organizations. Combined with his firm dedication to the aesthetic production from the borderlands, Gomez is uniquely positioned to critique and disrupt the intricacies of art history, classroom education, law enforcement, and even cultural conspiracy. Ed Gomez: Sacred Disruption thus brings us into the mind of the muti-faceted artist, culminating in recent explorations of the sacred and universal as a potential path into the unknown.
