DESCRIPTION:
Born in 1951 in Glendale, California, James hd Brown relocated with his family to Oaxaca, Mexico, in 1995 and founded Carpe Diem Press, which publishes limited-edition artists’ books featuring the work of influential artists from the United States and Mexico. In conjunction with Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA, the USC Fisher Museum of Art will present James hd Brown: Life and Work in Mexico, from Tuesday, September 19 through Saturday, December 2. The exhibition features Brown’s “My Other House” series, which looks at the imaginative space essential to living a creative life, along with Carpe Diem Press books. Brown will lead a tour of the exhibition and participate in a discussion with KCRW Art Talk host Edward Goldman and artist Marcos Ramírez Erre about bicultural experience, the value of authenticity, and working as an expat artist. The event will also include a presentación of Graciela Iturbide’s new book, published in collaboration with James hd Brown.
