Description
This catalog was published on the occasion of an exhibition featuring the work of Rubén Oritz Torres, a Mexican-born artist living and working in Los Angeles. Torres uses the visual elements of sports, including stereotypes reflected in mascots and logos, to create new work with a satirical edge. Related questions of identity and appropriation remain relevant in current dialogues about how professional sports teams, universities and high schools choose to represent themselves.
