Hector Dionicio Mendoza: Geographies of Identity

November 2, 2024 – April 20, 2025

Hector Dionicio Mendoza was born in Uruapan, Michoacan, Mexico, and grew up with an appreciation for faith, ritual, and the environment. The artist’s multimedia artworks blend ideals of geography, memory, and labor and use cardboard boxes, cinder blocks, and other synthetic and recycled materials, along with plants and natural imagery, to draw out these associations. Mendoza’s grandfather, a fifth-generation curandero (shaman) of Afro-Caribeño lineage, who practiced alternative healing traditions, was a pivotal influence on his artistic concepts, materials, and imagery.

Julie Green: The Last Supper

November 30, 2024 – November 30, 2025

The Last Supper features nearly 1,000 hand-painted ceramic plates, illustrating the last-meal choices of U.S. death-row inmates. Artist Julie Green (1961-2021) spent twenty-two years creating this large-scale art installation by painting images of the final meals on found ceramic plates, using cobalt blue mineral paint. Boise Art Museum is the first institution to show all available plates created during the artist’s lifetime. The Last Supper encourages viewers to consider the U.S. prison system and the way we think about those who are within it.
