Please join us for the first public discussion in the U.S. with one of the founding members of the visceral realist movement, Argentine artist/provocateur Gustavo E. Raynal. We will be discussing the problematics of non-violence in art, his ideas on "confrontational aesthetics," and the potential for radical political change through cultural production.

Federal Art Project (FAP) draws inspiration and its moniker from the visual art arm of the New Deal's WPA Federal One program that employed and educated American artists from 1935-1943. FAP provides a space for artist driven exhibitions and programming. Federal Art Project is co-owned by Christian Frizzell and Pete Galindo.
