Einar and Jamex de la Torre of San Antonio de las Minas will be visiting artists in the glass department
at Bowling Green State University starting today and continuing through Friday.
Mexican-born artists Einar and Jamex de la Torre are brothers and artistic collaborators, who moved to
the United States from Guadalajara, Jalisco in the early 1970s.
The brothers will be doing demonstrations and working with the students at BGSU Monday through Thursday
from 10:30 a.m. to 3:20 p.m. and 6 to 8:20 p.m. and will be giving a public lecture on Tuesday at 6 p.m.
The public is welcome to visit the studio and watch the artists at work during the demonstrations and the
lecture.
Currently, the brothers live and work on both sides of the San Diego-Baja California border, enjoying a
binational life style that very much informs their art. Einar and Jamex de la Torre have worked, taught
and exhibited both nationally, as well as internationally. Their distinctive three-dimensional work can
be found in galleries, museum collections, Museum catalogs, as well as in various public art
installations.
The de la Torre brothers are currently featured in an exhibition at the Tuscon Museum of Art entitled
"Borderlandia: Cultural Topographies by Einar and Jamex de la Torre" and at the Getty Research
Institute in Los Angeles.
