Initially created in 2001, Ochoa describes how CLASS: C was a way for him to bridge both his family’s business of selling tortillas out of the back of a 1985 Chevy van to his own personal experiences as an artist of color in traditionally exclusionary exhibition styles.
In its initial run, Ochoa invited other artists of color to showcase their work as part of CLASS: C. But to coincide with the twentieth anniversary, Ochoa is featuring his own work in the form of stacks of bronze tortillas. By revisiting CLASS: C today—as a way to honor his family, the invisible labor of street food vendors and other businesses, and reflect on his creative practice—,Ochoa guides viewers to experience the literal and figural weight of an everyday food staple.
Ruben Ochoa’s (b. 1974, Oceanside, CA, he/him) practice engages space as both a concept and a material. Often produced with material forms associated with construction, Ochoa’s works expose the ideological and broader sociopolitical and economic relationships that facilitate the way spaces we inhabit and move through are assembled. His work has been the subject of various solo exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, and Site Santa Fe, amongst others. He received his BFA from Otis College of Art and Design and his MFA from UC Irvine. Ochoa is a professor at Roski School of Art and Design at USC.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=\”row\” use_row_as_full_screen_section=\”no\” type=\”full_width\” text_align=\”left\” background_animation=\”none\” css_animation=\”\” css=\”.vc_custom_1616013224027{background-color: rgba(188,188,188,0.36) !important;*background-color: rgb(188,188,188) !important;}\”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=\”64px\”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=\”row\” use_row_as_full_screen_section=\”no\” type=\”grid\” anchor=\”Current\” in_content_menu=\”in_content_menu\” content_menu_title=\”Current Exhibitions\” icon_pack=\”font_awesome\” content_menu_fa_icon=\”\” text_align=\”left\” background_animation=\”none\” css_animation=\”\” el_id=\”BODY TEXT\” css=\”.vc_custom_1616015029709{background-color: #b5e1f5 !important;}\”][vc_column width=\”1/6\” css=\”.vc_custom_1615315385156{margin-top: 50px !important;}\”][/vc_column][vc_column width=\”2/3\” css=\”.vc_custom_1615934264074{margin-top: 50px !important;margin-bottom: 50px !important;border-right-width: 2px !important;border-left-width: 2px !important;padding-right: 100px !important;padding-left: 100px !important;}\”][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][vc_column width=\”1/6\” css=\”.vc_custom_1615315392532{margin-top: 50px !important;}\”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=\”row\” use_row_as_full_screen_section=\”no\” type=\”full_width\” text_align=\”left\” background_animation=\”none\” css_animation=\”\” css=\”.vc_custom_1616013224027{background-color: rgba(188,188,188,0.36) !important;*background-color: rgb(188,188,188) !important;}\”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row]
