  The Great Balboa Park Landfill Exposition Of 1997: Sculptures Made From Adobe And Hay

  title The Great Balboa Park Landfill Exposition Of 1997: Sculptures Made From Adobe And Hay 

  description Balboa Park (San Diego, Calif.)  Cindy Zimmerman's Community Engagement project for inSITE97 was the development of a new park environment at the landfill adjacent to Florida Canyon in Balboa Park. Constructing the piece over several months, Zimmerman involved children and families in the creation and placement of straw bales and clay in the landfill to make labyrinths, temporary earthworks, and adobe structures. "The Great Balboa Park Landfill Exposition of 1997/La gran exposicion del relleno del Balboa Park 1997" transformed an unused and unattractive plot of land into a new community park and art installation. Zimmerman led workshops and meetings throughout the project to involve the community and collaborate with the participants to create art from organic materials. -- inSITE97  Garden and Landscape  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 311, Folder 02, Item 426)  [Title, Date].

  Rowing In Eden

  title Rowing In Eden 

  description Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art  For inSITE97, Deborah Small created an installation and digital presentation at the Santa Fe Depot in downtown San Diego, entitled "Rowing in Eden/Remando en el Eden/Pelando en el Eden/Formando Hileras." A collaboration with three other artists, the installation explored the historical relationship between women and plants, focusing on the women who became labeled as witches for their unique knowledge as herbalists or healers. The installation included dried and live plants, a digital projection with images, text and voice, and an audio installation with voice and music. It emphasized not only the women's persecution but also celebrated their extraordinary powers and insight into consciousness and divinity. --inSITE97  Santa Fe Depot (San Diego, Calif.)  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 06, Item 350)  [Title, Date].
