Art. Poetry. CODEX ESPANGLIENSIS is a unique collaboration between performance artist Guillermo Gomez-Pena, visual artist Enrique Chagoya, and book artist Felicia Rice. Provocative and visually stunning, this artists' book chronicles the history of conquest, cultural transformation, and economic interdependence that has shaped the Americas from Columbus to the border patrol. Inspired by pre-Hispanic codices, the book opens from right to left, expanding out from accordion folds to a length of over twenty-one feet. CODEX ESPANGLIENSIS offers a history of the Americas which must be read forward and backward, in fragments and in recurring episodes -- in short, as history itself tends to unfold.
