It’s just my own personal opinion, but in spite of the fact that there was a greater sense of sponteneity and a more laid-back atmosphere this year (presenters that struggled with English could finally relax and deliver their lines in Spanish), I had higher hopes for this year’s entrega.

First of all, I don’t know who decided it was a good idea to put plasticman Eduardo Santamarina up there as a host. He’s one of the worst actors in Mexico (and that says a lot, given that he’s a telenovela actor) and turned out to be an even worse presenter. That same person must have thought that Rebecca de Alba was a good pick. Yes, she’s beautiful, but she was BORING. Her tone was as if she was presenting the Nobel Peace Prize or something.

New York City based Latina sculptor Teresita Fernández was awarded a MacArthur Fellows Program grant of $500,000 over the next 5 years, “no strings attached”. Teresita’s works ,which have been featured in galleries worldwide, use architecture, space, and color and invite viewers to experience her work instead of just seeing. Teresita was chosen, along with 24 other artists, because of her “creativity, originality, and potential”.
She certainly has a substantial body of work and can serve as an inspiration to other Latino visual artists.
