BRING ¡MEXTASY! TO YOUR CAMPUS, MUSEUM, GALLERY, DIVE BAR, etc.

— A TRAVELING CIRCUS OF DESMADRE, DESIRE & DECONSTRUCTION …

⚡️ 2026–2027 Tour | Booking Now 

Tired of beige art shows where nothing bleeds, sweats, or argues back? ¡Mextasy! is your antidote — a border-born carnival of images and ideas that refuses to behave. Curated and conjured by William “Memo” Nericcio — author of Tex[t]-Mex: Seductive Hallucinations of the “Mexican” in America — ¡Mextasy! turns the museum wall into a bilingual hallucination. It’s a mash-up of racist Americana, pop-art remix, and Chicano/x visual thunder — part seminar, part stand-up, part séance. 

Born in Laredo, raised on Mad magazine, Derrida, and Mexican TV static, Nericcio drags the archive out of the ivory tower and into your gallery, library, or dive bar. 

🔥 See it to believe it: Photo gallery + past shows

Recent Shows? Denver 2024 installation - Nepantla Cultural Arts Center, Seattle - Boise State Pop-Up 

What You Get (Besides Goosebumps) 

Visual detonations: 100+ years of Mexican caricature turned inside-out. 

Hybrid happenings: lectures that slip into comedy, gallery talks that break into confessionals. Collaborative chaos: workshops, film nights, and bilingual brain spasms that leave people buzzing. 

How It Works 

Full circus install — Nericcio + crew transform your space. 

Pop-up guerrilla show — we hit and run, no damage deposit required. 

Zoom / hybrid setups for the cautious or cash-strapped. 

💰 Price? Negotiable. Art first, spreadsheets later. 

Who’s Survived It So Far University of Denver • UCLA • UC Riverside • Iowa State • Nepantla Arts (Seattle) • Casa Familiar (San Ysidro) • San Antonio College 

If your gallery’s got walls that can take a punch — or an audience that’s hungry for something that bites back — we should talk.
