“As the internet continues to spin its world wide WEB, magazines still have staying power. Whether it’s the feeling on gets from flipping through the pages or the variety of topics for people of all ages, many are attracted to the physical space of the news stand. Magazines let you browse with your human search engine. In this show I have put my personal stamp on a few magazines" states Hudson Marquez. An active participant in the arts and political movements during the late sixties in New Orleans Marquez moved to San Francisco as a member of the Ant Farm Art Collective. At Ant Farm, Marquez was the driving force behind the iconic Cadillac Ranch sculpture in Amarillo, Texas. He was also instrumental in Ant Farm's public performances, museum exhibitions, inflatable structures, architectural commissions, illustration work, and videos. Mr. Marquez left Ant Farm in 1973 to co-found TVTV, the seminal "guerilla television" group that is considered to be the ground breaking pioneer of non-fiction television. TVTV was the recipient of many accolades including the prestigious Columbia Dupont Award, for excellence in television journalism. As member of TVTV, Mr. Marquez was voted into the Broadcasting Hall of Fame.

This is Hudson's second featured exhibition at Billy Shire Fine Arts.
