The art of Harry Gamboa Jr. encompasses photography, video, performance, installation, essays, fiction, poetry, and lesser-known forms of his own creation. Working in the tradition of Bertolt Brecht and Samuel Beckett, Gamboa pioneered multimedia formats for nearly three decades, influencing the work of artists such as Coco Fusco, Guillermo Gumez-Peoa, and Daniel J. Martinez. This work gathers Gamboa's diverse creations in a collection that reveals a rich vein of Chicano avant-garde production reaching back to the early 1970s.
