El Mexorcist 4: America's Most Wanted DemonGuillermo Gómez-Peña
Saturday, January 10 at 8pm
Tucson Museum of Art
140 N. Main Avenue
Using stratgically subsersive personae, San Francisco Mission District-based performance artist Guillermo Gómez-Peña addresses art, politics, sexuality, pop culture, and Chicanismo, through border savvy technologies. Why do we continue doing what we are doing against the backdrop of war, censorship, cultural paranoia and spiritual despair? What are the new roles that artists must undertake? Where are the new borders between the accepted and the forbidden? Is art still a pertinent form of inquiry? Who are 'we' and who are 'they'? Front row seats for this performance are $25, all other seats are $12. You may purchase at the door, or guarantee your seating by calling the Tucson Museum of Art at 624-2333 x109.

Soup will also be created by artists and served the night of the opening on January 15. We are looking for artists to participate in making soup for this event. Their soups will require innovative titles. A $5 donation gets visitors all-you-can eat soup and viewing of political art. Donations help raise money for Dinnerware community events, in small bites. Bring your own bowl and spoon. Artist Made Soups will also be served all week at Tooley's on Congress as part of this exhibit from January 17 to 24. $5 for a bowl of soup with a baguette on the side.
