  description Architecture and City Planning  Colonia Altamira, Tijuana (Baja California, Mexico)  Decorative Arts, Utilitarian Objects and Interior Design  Patricia Patterson's inSITE97 project was a collaborative effort to transform a small home in Tijuana into a visually captivating space for the surrounding community to meet, talk, eat, and engage in activities with one another. Working over a period of nine months, Patterson and her team of students and craftsmen renovated, painted, and landscaped the home of the Resendiz family to create a vibrant center in the residential colonia. Once complete, "La Casita en la Colonia Altamira, Calle Rio de Janeiro No. 6757, Tijuana" hosted numerous parties, brunches, and other gatherings of both local residents and visitors from San Diego, making the house a space for cross-cultural exchange and diversity. --inSITE97  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 310, Folder 03, Item 272)  [Title, Date].

  Island On The Fence: Drawing: View Of Proposal Model: Floating Island With Border Fence In Background

  title Island On The Fence: Drawing: View Of Proposal Model: Floating Island With Border Fence In Background 

  description For inSITE97, Vito Acconci proposed to extend the existing US-Mexico border fence out into the Pacific Ocean by constructing a floating island that would move with the tides. Fabricated with sand and rocks atop a fiberglass structure, the island would have Umbrellas to provide shade and space for swimmers from either side of the border to rest. Envisioned to represent a liminal space, the island would allow people to escape the border's constraints on people's lives and movement, if only temporarily. Due to various obstacles, including permissions and construction costs, Island of the Fence/Isla en la muralla remains unrealized. --inSITE97  Graphic Design and Illustration  Performing Arts (including Performance 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 01, Item 004)  [Title, Date].
