Description: MALE GAZE REVISITED or L.M. NOT INVITED! Cultural Studies maven, Laura Mulvey, critical theory's conceptual imagineer, she who deciphered the vagaries of the male gaze, is exiled from this movie theatre as Salma Hayek, here sampled from a series of adult beverage ads, holds court semiotically front and center for a gaggle of male admirers. Mextasy maintains that the hidden spectator must always be outed and this cautionary semiotic allegory outs the visually fixed perps in living black and white. Limited edition print, signed and numbered, on glossy archival stock paper. Mailed flat, folded once. Surprise gifts (stickers, posters, etc) included with each order!
Description: The Voyeur is a graphic that dates back to Monday, July 18, 2011. Originally produced for a presentation in San Antonio, Texas. Like most of the Textmex/Mextasy project, this particular digital manipulation focuses on the eyes of the spectator--consumers of Mexican stereotypes for the better part of their lives, they are here revealed, denuded, exposed. The graphic is composed mainly of three 'found' graphic pieces featuring a handsome anglo watcher, Salma Hayek, and Alfonso Bedoya (from a TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE screengrab). This 11x17 inch limited edition print is delivered signed, folded once, shipped via media mail.
Description: GILBERT ROLAND was born Luis Antonio Dámaso de Alonso on December 11, 1905. Let's let Wikipedia take over: "He was born Luis Antonio Dámaso de Alonso in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico, and originally intended to become a bullfighter like his father. When the family moved to the United States, however, he became interested in acting when he was picked at random for a role as an extra. He chose his screen name by combining the names of his favorite actors, John Gilbert and Ruth Roland. He was often cast in the stereotypical 'Latin Lover' role. Roland's first major role was in the collegiate comedy The Plastic Age (1925) together with Clara Bow, to whom he became engaged. Limited edition print -- 25 sales and it comes down forever!
