FULLERTON, CA.- The Cal State Fullerton Main Art Gallery presents Fall of Empire: A Glass Installation by Einar and Jamex de la Torre, curated by John Leighton and on view through May 14, 2005. Fall of Empire: A Glass Installation by Einar and Jamex de la Torre is an exhibition in two parts: a sampling of over 40 of the artists’ artworks from the past ten years and a site-specific installation that provides a humorous and, at times, critical comment on declined and declining empires—both historical and contemporary.

To describe their own work, the de la Torre brothers have said: "As Mexican-American bicultural artists, we are on the one hand influenced by the morbid humor of Mexican folk art, the absurd pageantry of Catholicism, and machismo; and on the other hand, we are equally fascinated by the American culture of excess: its pornographic materialism, its blow-up doll aesthetic, and most of all, its lingering Puritanism."
