UTEP students are selected to receive the fellowship on a project that deepens knowledge of Tom Lea’s art and writings. Iliana Pichardo Urrutia presents “Tom Lea: Explorations in Landscape.” It includes prose, poetry, and three phonographic works of sound art. Pichardo Urrutia is an MFA candidate, a published writer, and producer for KTEP’s Words on a Wire radio program. Guadalupe Lucero’s presentation compares the works of former President George W. Bush’s portraits of wounded Iraq/Afghanistan soldiers with the psychology of Lea’s LIFE Magazine images from World War II. Lucero is a BA candidate in Art History and Communication Studies. Join us for the presentations and reception.
