SUMMARY:Yvette Mayorga-High Maintenance
DESCRIPTION:Yvette Mayorga’s multi-media installation High Maintenance is a flamboyantly chilling revelation\, offering unsettling insights into how the forces of violence\, make-believe\, and consumerism infiltrate the contemporary immigrant experience\, and subvert our understanding of identity. \nDrawing inspiration from the politics of America’s southern border with Mexico\, her own life as a first generation Latinx-American\, and her parents’ often dangerous experiences as immigrants in the 1970s\, Mayorga’s work examines how pain and uncertainty are covered with a veneer of celebration. \nHigh Maintenanceconjures up an absurdist\, Rococo Candy Land\, where frivolity intersects with fear\, as soldiers and ICE agents come face to face with quinceanera cakes\, white swans\, and Polly Pocket adventure sets. \nEvery aspect of Mayorga’s built world is adorned with spectacular\, rapacious iconography. Monumental fashion accessories and gendered toys interrogate the true meaning of “status\,” while decadent\, Colonial aesthetics remind us how fragile national identity is\, and how frequently it depends on appearances. \nIs this a place of joy or fear? Does it welcome us in all our diversity\, or demand our assimilation? Like the guileless inhabitants of Mayorga’s thickly impastoed paintings\, the second we enter this uncanny\, celebratory-looking tableau\, we realize we are caught between a nightmare and a dream. \nIn partnership with Nopal Cultural and University of Indianapolis. \nMade possible by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, Christ Church Cathedral\, The Arts Council of Indianapolis\, Managed Health Services – MHS\,and Sun King Brewing Company. \nYvette Mayorga lives and works in Chicago. She earned her MFA in Fiber and Material Studies from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2016. Recent solo exhibitions include the Lubeznik Center for the Arts\, EXPO Chicago 2018\, The Vincent Price Art Museum\, The Chicago Cultural Center\, and The National Museum of Mexican Art. Her work has been featured in Hyperallergic\, The Guardian\, Art News\, and Teen Vogue\, among others.

SUMMARY:99.1 WQRT Rhinestone Country Film Series-Urban Cowboy
DESCRIPTION:“You a real cowboy?” John Travolta traded disco for a mechanical bull in this adaptation by James Bridges and Aaron Latham of Latham’s article on Western nightlife. Texas country boy Bud (Travolta) moves to Houston to work on an oil rig with his Uncle Bob (Barry Corbin)\, and he swiftly becomes indoctrinated in the nighttime rituals of drinking\, dancing\, and showing off cowboy duds at Gilley’s\, the enormous local honkytonk. There he meets and marries the sassy Sissy (Debra Winger)\, but the honeymoon quickly ends when Sissy starts spending too much time learning the men-only skill of mechanical bull-riding from ex-con Wes (Scott Glenn); Bud throws her out and hooks up with slumming Pam (Madolyn Smith). Under the paternal tutelage of Uncle Bob\, Bud then learns not only how to master the bull but also what it takes to be a real man rather than just an ersatz cowboy. With a story\, cast\, and setting that were essentially Saturday Night Fever country-style\, Urban Cowboy was poised to be a summer 1980 hit. Although its box office did not live up to Fever’s legacy\, Urban Cowboy did spawn a soundtrack album of country-and-western hits and helped spur a Western fashion vogue; people from all regions began sporting cowboy boots\, and mechanical bulls started replacing passé disco floors. The first of Travolta’s many comebacks\, Urban Cowboy provided the star with a more “manly” image after his Moment by Moment (1978) fiasco\, but it was neophyte co-star Winger who got even better notices. With its Western milieu and retro view of relationships\, Urban Cowboy stands as a sign of the nascent Reagan era\, as ’70s icon Travolta learned bull-riding himself and replaced his white polyester with a black Stetson.” ~ Lucia Bozzola\, Rovi \nPresented by Upland Brewing Company
