View through CrossRef
This article focuses on an individual artist, Josu Pellot Gonzalez, who works in a Chicago community that generally shares his Puerto Rican heritage. Two of Pellot's works,Family Portrait as Boricua Toys: Vending Machine Project(2006) and1493at La Municipal Food and Liquors (2008), were inspired by a section of Division Street that is called Paseo Boricua. Pellot first saw the vending machine inside of a local eatery; he subsequently purchased a machine and inserted into it figures of his own immediate family as toys.1493was a trio of animated neon signs hung in a store window facing Division Street. Both works self-consciously investigated the collisions and collaborations of commercial spaces and ethnic identity by directly engaging with the visual and spatial fields of shoppers and diners on Paseo Boricua.
