Davidson Galleries is pleased to present Lotería de la Vida (The Daily Gamble), opening Thursday May 1st. This exhibition focuses on the games, the roll of the dice, the lotteries we’re forced to play. Lotería is a popular game commonly played in Mexico and widely known for its bold, graphic imagery. Like bingo, the game involves a lot of luck and influence from outside forces. In Artemio Rodriguez’s Lotería series, the celebrated Mexican poet, scholar, nun, and women’s rights advocate Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz joins La Migra (The Immigration Officer) and El Zapatista (The Zapatista) on the board. Great legends are unlucky neighbors with the enemy.
