Ken Gonzales-Day
Curated by BRUCE YONEMOTO, Essay by JULI CARSON
Drawing its title from Gonzales-Day's book of the same name, the exhibition, Lynching in the West: 1850-1935 considered the transracial nature of lynching in California from statehood to the last recorded lynching in 1935. Given the broad number of people touched by this history (Asians, Anglos, Blacks, and American Indians), many will be surprised to learn that Latinos (Mexican, Mexican American, and persons of Latin American descent) made up the largest single group of lynch victims in California. The work included in the CUE Art Foundation exhibition considered, and responded to this historical erasure though a number of conceptual interventions that interrogated the legacy of lynching and its relationship to photography.
