Sergio Arau exhibit ¨La Vida es un Ring¨ in MOLAA (Los Angeles, Ca.)
Mexican artist Sergio Arau pays tribute to lucha libre in his new exhibit, "La Vida Es un Ring," which takes its name from an Amado Nervo poem that goes: "Man is born to wrestle, strive/Like birds are born to fly." Arau, a painter-filmmaker-musician who directed the movie A Day Without a Mexican, created the style he calls ArtNacó in 1983. Nacó is "street kitsch," referring to the authentically Mexican images of lucha libre and altars that Arau represents in his pop-art pieces. The opening-night celebration, "La Lucha de Las Mascaras," includes a lucha libre marketplace, face painting, photo booth and tequila tasting. Museum of Latin American Art, 628 Alamitos Ave., Long Beach; Fri., Sept. 11, 7 p.m.; $10 members, $15 nonmembers. Exhibit continues through Sept. 27. (562) 437-1689, molaa.org. —Sascha Bos
