SUMMARY:Adriana Corral - Unearthed: Desenterrado - Socorro\, TX & El Paso\, Juárez
DESCRIPTION: Black Cube Sheds Light on Shadowed Part of\nAmerican History\, U.S.-Mexico Border Control \n\n\nMarch 9 – June 9\, 2018 \n\n\nLocated in Socorro\, Texas \n\n\nA 60-foot flagpole\, hoisting a large-scale white flag adorned with bald and golden eagles\, will serve as counter-monument\, acknowledging a facility that processed Mexican workers into the U.S. between 1951-1964. \nAdriana Corral – Unearthed – Desenterrado\nFebruary 27\, 2018 – Black Cube’s latest exhibition\, Unearthed: Desenterrado\, is an outdoor\, large-scale artwork by Texas-based artist Adriana Corral. Located within the historic grounds of the Rio Vista Farm in Socorro\, Texas\, the installation—featuring a solitary 60-foot flagpole hoisting an enormous white\, cotton flag—speaks to the deeply rooted history between the U.S. and Mexico. Embroidered on either side of the flag is the illustration of a “Mexican” golden eagle and an “American” bald eagle\, each emblematic of their respective nation’s patriotism. \nVisible from the El Paso–Juárez horizon from March 9 until June\, the flag stands as a counter-monument for the Rio Vista Farm\, a facility most notably recognized as a key-processing center for the Bracero Program. The Bracero Program\, which was established by the federal government during World War II\, is known as one of the largest foreign worker programs in U.S. history. According to finding from the National Trust for Historic Preservation\, many people have described the Bracero Program as a period of “legalized slavery” in which Mexican workers “were met with medical and psychological examinations\, stripped of their clothing\, organized into lines\, and fumigated with DDT before they could be evaluated by farming contractors.” \nCortney Lane Stell\, Black Cube’s Executive Director + Chief Curator\, believes that “by calling attention to this overlooked park of American history\, Corral’s work endeavors to stand as an acknowledgement of unknown human rights violations\, as well as to inspire deeper conversations about our history —and future—of border control along the U.S.–Mexico border.” \n“This project emphasizes the importance of recognizing and confronting the voids within our American history\,” Corral adds. \nAdriana Corral – Unearthed – Desenterrado\nUnearthed: Desenterrado will be on display at the Rio Vista Center until June. During the three-month exhibition\, Corral’s flag will become tattered and worn due to inclement weather. After its display in Socorro\, the flag will be exhibited in museums and cultural institutions across the country. \nAbout Adriana Corral\nAdriana Corral is based in San Antonio\, Texas. Her installations\, performances\, and sculptures embody universal themes of loss\, human rights violations\, concealment\, and memory. Corral employs a rigorous researched based practice where anthropologists\, writers\, journalists\, gender scholars\, human rights attorneys\, and victims provide her with the foundation for her works. \nCorral received her Master of Fine Arts from The University of Texas at Austin and completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Texas at El Paso. In 2016\, Corral was invited to attend the 106th session of the Working Group on Enforced and Involuntary Disappearances at the United Nations in Geneva\, Switzerland.
