Phantom Sightings: Art After the Chicano Movement
Juan Capistran's "Do You Want New Wave, or Do You Want the Truth?" is one of more than 120 works in an exhibition that, beginning with its title, wades into social and artistic debates. "Phantom Sightings: Art After the Chicano Movement" showcases the work of 31 artists who mostly came of age in the 1990s, following a generation that identified as Chicano. The earlier generation hammered on LACMA's doors, demanding to be equitably represented in the museum's presentations. Not all of the younger artists, however, identify the same way. Capistran says: "I personally have never called myself Chicano, which to me was like a dated term." The exhibit runs through Sept. 1.
