Teddy Sandoval and the Butch Gardens School of Art Symposium

Gain deeper insights into the ambitious exhibition Teddy Sandoval and the Butch Gardens School of Art in a day-long symposium with C. Ondine Chavoya, David Evans Frantz, Joey Terrill, Alex Klein, and scholars from The University of Texas, Laura G. Gutiérrez, Ramón Rivera-Servera, Ann Cvetkovich.

In this first museum retrospective centered on the life of work of artist Teddy Sandoval (1949–1995), the exhibition features rarely presented work by Sandoval along with an intergenerational grouping of twenty-five queer, Latinx, and Latin American artists who share similar graphic sensibilities, approaches to media, or thematic interests with Sandoval.

With our proximity to The University of Texas at Austin, curator C. Ondine Chavoya and fellow UT faculty Laura G. Gutiérrez and Ramón Rivera-Servera will speak on their research relevant to past and present Chicanx artists and their work. The conversation will be moderated by Ann Cvetkovich.

Thereafter, exhibition curators David Evans Frantz, C. Ondine Chavoya, and exhibiting artist Joey Terrill, will be joined by The Contemporary Austin's Head Curator and Director of Curatorial Affairs Alex Klein to discuss the curatorial process behind Teddy Sandoval and the Butch Gardens School of Art.
