The Good Neighbor
title The Good Neighbordescription Casa de la Cultura de Tijuana Installed at the Casa de la Cultura in Tijuana, Tony Capellan's inSITE97 piece, El buen vecino/The Good Neighbor, was a symbol of the border and the consequences brought by partitioning land between two powers. The two chairs at the heads of table represented to United States and Mexican governments, and the table, covered in chili peppers, was dissected by a raucous, spinning buzz saw. Originally conceived to represent two hundred years of land treaties between the two countries, the final installation emphasized the violence and loss experienced by Mexico when the country was divested of its lands. --inSITE97 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 03, Item 060) [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].

title Chloe: View Of Piece Installed At Linda Moore Gallerydescription Linda Moore Gallery San Diego Natural History Museum Sculpture and Installations Situated at the San Diego Natural History Museum and at Linda Moore Gallery in San Diego, Nina Katchadourian's project for inSITE94, "Chloe," showcased Chloe, a taxidermic dog, propped on an embroidered silk pillow. While it was the intention of the artist to show the actual taxidermic dog at the Natural History Museum, mixed opinion on public perception of a taxidermic pet on view influenced the Museum to opt for a Chloe stand-in. On view at the Museum, in a Plexiglas vitrine, was a photograph of Chloe on an identical silk pillow, accompanied by a placard referring viewers to the Linda Moore Gallery where the actual Chloe could be seen. --inSITE94 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 01, Item 185) [Title, Date].
