Project At Maclovio Rojas: Video Documentary
title Project At Maclovio Rojas: Video Documentarydescription Brazilian artist Monica Nador began her project for inSITE2000 with a two-month residency in the community of Maclovio Rojas in Tijuana. Challenging traditional notions of the role of the artist and audience, Nador worked with ten families in the community to implement a collaborative form of decoration for the exterior of their homes. Encouraging each family to identify ancestral signs, symbols, and other imagery associated with their regional and cultural heritage, Nador and a small team of assistant artists began a process of creating stencils to be used in decorating their houses. Working in the community for approximately six months, the artist's motivation that "beauty is good for mental and spiritual health" resulted in brightly painted and decorated houses that residents in the entire community saw as unifying and adding visual wealth that could be shared by all. A video documenting Accion en Maclovio Rojas/Project at Maclovio Rojas was produced as part of the project. --inSITE2000 Decorative Arts, Utilitarian Objects and Interior Design Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art Maclovio Rojas, Tijuana, Baja California Sur, Mexico Paintings 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 257, DVD 00-30) [Title, Date].

My House Is Your House
title My House Is Your Housedescription Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art Sculpture and Installations Sheldon Brown's project for inSITE97, "Mi casa es tu casa/My House is Your House," was a networked virtual reality environment installed at the Children's Museum in San Diego and the Centro Nacional de las Artes, Mexico, DF. Providing an interactive space for children to play and explore, the project used innovative computer technology to connect the environments in both cities to allow children to participate in the construction of a virtual house. Both rooms were equipped with costumes and tools to build the house, and as children moved through the room, they could watch their virtual body double mirroring their actions. Brown's project imparted notions of home, nation, heritage, and cultural construction through child's play. --inSITE97 Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) The New Children's Museum (American museum) This image is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 309, Folder 02, Item 050) [Title, Date].

My House Is Your House: Exterior View Of Virtual Reality Playhouse
title My House Is Your House: Exterior View Of Virtual Reality Playhousedescription Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art Sculpture and Installations Sheldon Brown's project for inSITE97, "Mi casa es tu casa/My House is Your House," was a networked virtual reality environment installed at the Children's Museum in San Diego and the Centro Nacional de las Artes, Mexico, DF. Providing an interactive space for children to play and explore, the project used innovative computer technology to connect the environments in both cities to allow children to participate in the construction of a virtual house. Both rooms were equipped with costumes and tools to build the house, and as children moved through the room, they could watch their virtual body double mirroring their actions. Brown's project imparted notions of home, nation, heritage, and cultural construction through child's play. --inSITE97 Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) The New Children's Museum (American museum) This image is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 309, Folder 02, Item 051) [Title, Date].

Abode: Sanctuary For The Familia(R)
title Abode: Sanctuary For The Familia(R)description San Francisco artist Mildred Howard sited her inSITE94 project in the baggage building of the Santa Fe Depot. Her installation consisted of two components, "Abode: Sanctuary for the Familia(r)/Hogar: el santuario para lo familia(r)" and "From Cotton to Coal ... the Last Train/Del algodón al carbón ... El último tren." As a continuation of her exploration of architectural forms and everyday materials that poetically call forth issues of cultural identity and memory, Howard chose to reinstall "Abode," first created for the San Jose Museum of Art. "Abode" and "From Cotton to Coal" reference Howard's own cultural history as an African-American woman --inSITE94 San Jose Museum of 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 150) [Title, Date].

Entitled "Cora's Rain House/La casa de la lluvia de Cora," the artist created two house structures, one at the Casa de la Cultura in Tijuana and one at the Children's Museum in San Diego, where children were invited to write postcards, stories, poems, and create drawings and songs to be shared with children at the other house, as an exchange of gifts across the border. The house at the Children's Museum was built as a permanent installation within the Museum space and was complete with a tin roof sprinkled by simulated rain from shower heads installed above. --inSITE94 This image is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 310, Folder 05, Item 338) [Title, Date].

Project At Maclovio Rojas: Painted And Stenciled Porch With Family
title Project At Maclovio Rojas: Painted And Stenciled Porch With Familydescription Brazilian artist Monica Nador began her project for inSITE2000 with a two-month residency in the community of Maclovio Rojas in Tijuana. Challenging traditional notions of the role of the artist and audience, Nador worked with ten families in the community to implement a collaborative form of decoration for the exterior of their homes. Encouraging each family to identify ancestral signs, symbols, and other imagery associated with their regional and cultural heritage, Nador and a small team of assistant artists began a process of creating stencils to be used in decorating their houses. Working in the community for approximately six months, the artist's motivation that "beauty is good for mental and spiritual health" resulted in brightly painted and decorated houses that residents in the entire community saw as unifying and adding visual wealth that could be shared by all. A video documenting Accion en Maclovio Rojas/Project at Maclovio Rojas was produced as part of the project. --inSITE2000 Decorative Arts, Utilitarian Objects and Interior Design Maclovio Rojas, Tijuana, Baja California Sur, Mexico Paintings 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 244) [Title, Date].
