Un Altar Moderno~En San Antonio
A tribute to Horacio Sanchez Valderas during November 2012


Luis Valderas presents a citywide installation of new works throughout the city of San Antonio during the entire month of November 2012. The works are a tribute to his father Horacio Sanchez Valderas for Dia De los Muertos from a perspective based on its basic premise-the duty to our ancestors to keep them alive. By retelling their story while at the same time representing them as collective cultural iconic figures their story is rooted into the same collective experience of our present generation. This arrangement allows for a dialogue between past and present, Horacio represents the hero navigating a space in between past, present and future. This is the same celebration that occurs during Dia De Los Muertos. In order for this Altar Moderno to be fully completed a public interaction with the pieces is necessary, thus by sharing of the visual image/icon/story of Horacio he becomes embed into the collective experience.

The Public is encouraged to visit one of the locations and photograph themselves with one of the art pieces of Horacio Sanchez Valderas. Then by sharing this visit with Horacio via social media they contribute to this interactive audience driven experience.
