*Priscilla Dobler / La SalaOpening Reception / Thursday, March 15th 6-9PM* Priscilla Dobler is an interdisciplinary artist, born in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico and raised in Tacoma, Washington by an immigrant mother, her artistic process comes from self-investigation, how identity is constructed in a globalized society and how architectural spaces represents gender roles and cultural structures. She is interested in developing her own unique artistic interpretation of her cultural identity through weaving, woodworking, audio, video and performances. Being raised in a single parent home, my brothers and I grew up watching a lot of television. We didn’t have separate formal or informal living rooms. Our living room was not only an entertainment room but also a bedroom (couches for bed) for my illegal Mexican family members arriving to America. This space along with the rest of my mother’s house have influenced my creative perspective. La Sala, is a multiple mix media living room installation where couch, coffee table, television, artwork and walls will be woven out of colorful cotton thread. Audio and video interviews will be projected and triggered when viewers walk into the space. For the past few months I have been interviewing individuals in the community of Tacoma on expressing their perception of how their identity has been shaped based on the political and social structure of identity in society and in private/public spaces. In addition, a movie I created called Mass Culture will be projected on the television with commercials in-between for the individual video projections. Mass Culture, is a movie combination of multiple videos of telenovelas, Mexican cumbias, pop hip-hop music videos, Nike commercials, TV shows/basketball games, and popular movie clips that are representational of Mexican media culture into one new movie of what it means to be Mexican American.
