Drill: General View
title Drill: General Viewdescription Dolores Magdalena Memorial Recreation Center, Logan Heights, San Diego, California, United States Doug Ischar's inSITE97 project, "Drill/Taladro/Adiestramiento," was a series of video and audio installations that meandered through the gymnasium of the Dolores Magdelena Memorial Recreation Center in Logan Heights. Running for several hours on two weekends, the installations, named individually "Vent," "Seam," and "Patient," were connected by orange electrical cable, providing the viewer with a path to follow. Ischar pieced together the imagery and music that played while participants navigated the installation. --inSITE97 Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This image is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 309, Folder 06, Item 164) [Title, Date].

The Cloud: White Balloons Suspended In The Sky Over The United States/Mexico Border Wall
title The Cloud: White Balloons Suspended In The Sky Over The United States/Mexico Border Walldescription New York-based Chilean artist Alfredo Jaar's project for inSITE2000 was designed as an ephemeral monument in memory of the migrants who had died during the previous ten years while trying to cross the border between Mexico and the US. Entitled La nube/The Cloud the piece centered around the ceremonial release of over one thousand white balloons. With the balloons tethered together as a large cloud positioned immediately above the border fence at Valle del Matador/Goat Canyon, not far from Playas de Tijuana, the work took the form of a ceremony that included the performance of classical pieces by Albinoni, Bach and Veracini, the reading of a poem by Tijuana poet Victor Hugo Limon, and a minute of silence. The balloons were then released from the cluster and drifted off one by one across the sky as symbols of the souls of the dead migrants. --inSITE2000 Performing Arts (including Performance Art) Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This video file was extracted from a DVD-R from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 256, DVD 00-08) Tijuana, Playas de, Baja California Norte, Mexico Valle del Matador/Goat Canyon [Title, Date].
