More DescriptionForeword by Ralph Blasting. Interview by Barbara R¿cker. Translation by Juan De Urda. Aliens Sans Frontières is a dialogue about art history and current socio-political issues through the artwork of internationally acclaimed Mexican-American artist Enrique Chagoya. Using humor, pop culture references, art historical appropriations, and Aztec symbols, Chagoya addresses many issues, among them: xenophobia, borders (real and invisible), immigration policies, government dysfunction, and art market gluttony. The publication is richly illustrated with 47 Chagoya paintings, prints, and drawings dating from 1994 to 2018. Among the illustrated works are lithographic codices, Recurrent Goya intaglios, and major paintings from Chagoya¿s Illegal Alien¿s Guide series.
