Manhatitlan: Mexican and American Cultures Intertwined by Felipe Galindo
Published by Jorge Pinto Books.
Introduction by Peter Canby, The New Yorker.
56 pg., 8.5 x 5.5", full color. "Feggo's work stands in the rich tradition of Mexico's socially
engaged art, an art that strives, using humor and irony, to make sense
out of our beautiful and ever more baffling world."
-From the Introduction by Peter Canby "What a
wicked sense of humor Galindo has. Mexican artifacts enact absurd acts
of revenge on Big Apple institutions, a bit like anti-imperialist New
Yorker cartoons."
-The Washington Post "Galindo's appealing images
superimpose Mexican icons over the New York cityscape, in a playful nod
to the multiculturalism that helps make the city great." -Time Out New
York
