The performance will be followed by a conversation with Guillermo G\u00f3mez-Pe\u00f1a, who collaborated on the work. This is a unique opportunity to hear from the artists as they interact with the work.

Wednesday, 3\/30: Felicia Rice, “Doc\/Undoc” (lecture performance), followed by a public conversation with G\u00f3mez-Pe\u00f1a (5 p.m., Special Collections Reading Room, 3rd Floor Main Library).<\/h4>\n

DOC\/UNDOC Documentado\/Undocumented Ars Sham\u00e1nica Perform\u00e1tica is a limited edition artists\u2019 book. The outcome of a seven-year collaboration, this edition of 65 books features Guillermo G\u00f3mez-Pe\u00f1a’s performance texts and Felicia Rice’s relief prints and typography, accompanied by Jennifer Gonz\u00e1lez’s critical commentary. Of these, a deluxe edition of 15 is housed in a hi-tech aluminum case containing a video by Gustavo Vazquez, an altar, and a cabinet of curiosities. Opening the case triggers light and Zachary Watkins’ interactive sound art.<\/p>\n

\"doc\"<\/a>This series of short monologues traces Rice\u2019s metamorphosis from book artist\/printer to artist\/performer. The performance begins with the publication of DOC\/UNDOC and wends its way through a series of experiences and epiphanies that reach back to her early years. DOC\/UNDOC\u2019s subtitle, Documentado\/Undocumented, points to a painful dichotomy: “documentado” in Spanish implies having access to cultural traditions and rituals that flourish in Mexico, whereas the term “undocumented” in the United States implies a lack of citizenship, power, rights and knowledge. The second subtitle, Ars<\/p>\n

Sham\u00e1nica Perform\u00e1tica, speaks of the very personal, transformative experience offered by the book and case, an invitation to \u201cChoose an object, find a poetic way of using it. Reimagine yourself, tell a new story.\u201d In some way every immigrant must reinvent his or her self, just as every artist must cross into the unknown and return to tell the tale.<\/p>\n
