CAPIROTADA: Of a Personal Nature curated by Los Outsiders
grayDUCK Gallery, Austin, Texas
Exhibition Dates: October 2 – November 1, 2020
Capirotada is a delicious Mexican bread pudding concocted from a wide variety of nuts and fruits with syrup-soaked bread. In a similar vein, the Los Outsiders’ curated exhibition, CAPIROTADA: Of a Personal Nature, collects a varied group of artists that we originally shared with each other for consideration, having no specific curatorial objective in mind. Instead, we began with an interest in highlighting exciting artists some of us had not had a chance to work with before.
However, during our virtual studio visits, the syrupy bread--in the form of serendipitous connections between the artists’ work and practices--congealed into genuine dialogues about self-reflection, meditation, and communing with nature through art. The artists of CAPIROTADA bridge the ideas of the individual in search of solace in a natural world, and our place in the bowl of pudding.
Featuring work by: Rachel Comminos, Julie DeVries, Soomin Jung, Paloma Mayorga, Ryan Runcie

Los Outsiders, the Austin based curatorial collective, began in 2007 when Jaime Salvador Castillo, Michael Anthony García and Hector Hernandez met exhibiting work in Mexic-Arte Museum’s “Young Latino Artists 11: Juventud Desenfrenada.” With the addition of Robert Jackson Harrington in 2014, Los Outsiders broadened the scope of their creative endeavors. Collectively, Los Outsiders develop platforms for artistic dialog curating group exhibitions with local, national and international artists.
