Light Work : Upcoming Exhibitions

DON GREGORIO ANTON
Ollin Mecatl: The Measure of Movements

January 14 - March 20, 2008
Reception+Panel Discussion: February 7

Don Gregorio Antón creates mystical retablos that look like sacred objects in themselves. They are intimately small and sit on little stands to be viewed individually. Each retablo is one of a kind. Retablos, or ex votos as they are sometimes called, have been part of Mexico's tradition since the 17th century. They were originally hung behind the altars of Catholic churches, and remain a tradition to this day.

Don Gregorio Antón's exhibition will be accompanied by a 48-page full color catalogue, Contact Sheet 145, available by subscription and individually.
