Installation
Art
This conceptual installation
workshop will explore the issues
surrounding the dualism of identities.
It will look at the original
creation story to find the connections
between these issues in our
current social context.
Students will collectively work
to conduct research and create
a visual and performative environment
that addresses these themes.
The class will utilize textiles
and natural fiber materials
to create a collaborative installation
project.

Celia
Herrera Rodríguez
Celia Herrera Rodríguez
is a painter, performance and
installation artist, whose work
reflects a full generation of
dialogue with Chicano, Native
American, Pre-Columbian, and
Mexican thought. Hers is a conceptual
art, inspired as much from the
intricate embroidery work of
her Mexican female elders of
Sandias Tepehuanes in the state
of Durango, México as
the iconography of the pre-conquest
Mexicas. Originally from Sacramento,
California, Herrera Rodríguez
received her M.F.A in painting
from the University of Illinois,
Urbana-Champaign in 1987, and
went on to study Art History,
Theory and Criticism at the
Art Institute of Chicago. In
her five-year tenure in Chicago,
she exhibited extensively and
became involved in installation
and performance art. In the
mid-1990s she returned to California,
where she has made Oakland her
home and has taught Chicano
Art and Art History at the University
of California, Berkeley for
the last four years.
