FAD Magazine covers contemporary art – News, Exhibitions and Interviews reported on from London

Mario Ybarra Jr at The ICA


Ybarra is a founder of the art collective “Slanguage,” based in Wilmington, California, and was recently recruited by the Anna Helwing Gallery.

A 2005 piece titled Go Tell It documents the very route recent protesters took in decrying measure HR 4437.

When pegged as a Chicano artist, Ybarra demurs. “I make contemporary art that is filtered through a Mexican-American experience in Los Angeles,” he told the L.A. Times. “It’s not my goal to learn Nahuatl but to speak Cantonese.”
