Archiving an Epidemic is the first book to examine the devastating effect of the AIDS crisis on a generation of Chicanx artists who influenced transgressive genders and sexualities operating in the Chicana and Chicano art movement in Southern California. From mariconógraphy to renegade street graffiti, from the Barrio Baroque to Frozen Art, these visual provocateurs introduced a radical queer languageemboldened by opportunities in LA’s art and retail culturein the 1980s. AIDS not only ravaged their lives, but also devastated their archives. A queer archival methodology is demanded to ascertain how AIDS and its losses and traumas have rearticulated recordkeeping practices beyond systemic forms of preservation. The resulting “archival bodies/archival spaces” of queer Chicanx avant-gardists Mundo Meza (1955–1985), Teddy Sandoval (1949–1995), and Joey Terrill (1955–present) refutes dismissive arguments that these provocateurs have had little consequence for the definition of the aesthetics of Chicano art and performance. With appearances by Laura Aguilar, Cyclona, Simon Doonan, David Hockney, Christopher Isherwood, Robert Mapplethorpe, and even Eddie Murphy, this book stands in defense of the alternative archivesthat emerged from this plague. Thinking outside traditional terms of institutional mediation, Archiving an Epidemic speculates not what Chicana/o art is but what it could have been.

Este artículo estudia dos diferentes estrategias utilizadas por artistas que pertenecen a colectivos vulnerables para subvertir el régimen hegemónico de las imágenes. Las contraimágenes consisten en representaciones que se sitúan más allá de lo aceptable dentro de la normatividad del canon y se posicionan en contraposición a éste. Las estrategias translúcidas, en cambio, juegan con la visibilidad y la ocultación, creando imágenes más ambiguas que pueden infiltrarse en el régimen de representación y subvertirlo desde su interior. La combinación de ambas supone una mayor potencialidad de perturbación. Para presentar estas estrategias se utilizan obras de Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Robert Mapplethorpe y el colectivo Señora Polaroiska.
