A post-reception event will be held at Cielito Lindo (739 S 2nd St) starting at 9:00 pm. The two galleries will hold opening receptions simultaneously on March 20 between 5–9 pm. An installation will create the atmosphere, symbolisms and items of nostalgia from the Mexican-American restaurant his family owned in rural Wautoma, WI, which continues the dichotomy between the rural Wisconsin and Mexican-American identities.
The portion at Portrait Society Gallery will present a narrative along the theme as well. Works surrounding the figures will also signify the exploration of the theme. Freddy Fender quietly serenades the figure of the lamb, connecting the two,” explained Salas. “These works can be seen as a mother and father figure but are also influenced by religious iconography, or objects of devotion. They face one another, seemingly a dichotomy but creating a narrative in their interaction. The centerpiece of the exhibition at Walker’s Point Center for the Arts includes two figurative sculptures – a restful lamb on a pedestal and a debonair Freddy Fender figure made of straw and agricultural material. Wasted Days and Wasted Nights exemplifies a journey – traversing between two galleries to experience the multiplicity, tension and whimsy surrounding his own cultural identity and upbringing that bridges a Wisconsin sheep farm and Tejano superstar Freddy Fender.
