Todd B. Richmond and Paz Tanjuaquio Collaborate with Manuel Ocampo

Yes, Sir/Ma’am! No, Sir/Ma’am! Right Away, Sir/Ma’am!, a new exhibition by Manuel Ocampo, features large-scale paintings inspired in part by the work of Theodor de Bry (1528–1598), known for his detailed and sometimes fanciful engravings of the native inhabitants of the Americas and their recent contacts with European explorers and colonists. Ocampo intermixes scenes from these works with motifs taken from American political cartoons from the period of the Philippine American War (1899-1902), with their often outrageous ethnic stereotypes. Ocampo has invited other artists to collaborate, incorporating elements ranging from graffiti to video and installation.

There will be a live performance by Paz Tanjuaquio during the opening, Thu, March 1, between 6-8pm, performing a dance within Ocampo’s exhibition and the installation created by Todd B. Richmond.
