The Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture presents “Ruben Trejo: Beyond Boundaries, Aztlán y más allá,” May 1 – November 13, 2010. Rubén Trejo was one of our regions most important and respected artists and his work is in many collections, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum collection. “Ruben Trejo: Beyond Boundaries, Aztlán y más allá” is the first major one-person exhibition of Trejo's work in over two decades and features works spanning over four decades. There are over 50 objects in the exhibition including very early bronze works, brushed aluminum and wood sculptures; mixed media paintings and drawings that are rich with Trejo's study of ancient Mayan and Aztec art and history. Also included are several of his welded railroad spike and nail codex works; and important sketchbooks, notebooks and studio ephemera that illustrate the artist at work. Ruben Trejo-former Eastern Washington University Professor Emeritus and co-founder of Eastern Washington University’s Chicano Education Program - earned his B.F.A and M.F.A. degrees in Art from the University of Minnesota. In 1973 Trejo moved to the Pacific Northwest where he began his long association with the Eastern Washington University from which he retired in 2003. Ruben Trejo passed away in the summer of 2009. An exhibit opening will be held May 1st from 3pm - 4pm with a roundtable discussion, “The Life and Art of Ruben Trejo,” and reception.
