It was last year at the Bemis Center for
Contemporary Arts, in Omaha, Nebraska. Some of my drawings,
life-mutilated sketchbook covers, and copies of my novels Cortez
on Jupiter and High Aztech were included in an
installation by Josh Rios and Anthony Romero called Is Our Future
a Thing of the Past?
Things are getting so chingada apocalyptic lately. But
then they've been that way all my life.
Well, the Bemis Center has brought it to the Blue Star
Contemporary gallery in San Antonio, Texas, Aztlán,
from October 4, 2018 to January 6, 2019.
So, if you couldn't make it to Omaha, but are near enough
to San Anto, this is your chance to see some Ernesto art, up close
and personal, or at least as close as the plexiglass will let you.
And for those of you who can't make it to San Anto, here's a closer look at my art from the show, naked, without any electronic augmentations:
Evening Spirits, captures what it's like to chill
with cerveza under a darkening Aztláni
sky.
Señor
America is
the spirit of the Border.
High
Aztech Scene illustrated one of
the many riots in the novel.
High
Tech Voodootoons describes most
of my work.
Galactic
Aborginie Journal because we're
all just aborigines in this galaxy.
Ernest Hogan is very busy with art and writing. Maybe
it's a good thing.
