Hospitality: Painting In Progress: Day One
title Hospitality: Painting In Progress: Day Onedescription Barbosa and Ricalde proposed covering the Puente Mexico (the pedestrian bridge that crosses the Tijuana River and leads from Avenida Revolucion toward the international border crossing at San Ysidro) with a carpet of painted names: a "welcome mat." The project, entitled "Hospitality," was inspired by the way in which color, typography, and first names are employed as marks of identity, much like the woven bracelets sold in handcraft market stalls along the border.

Maleteros: Porters In Front Of Map
title Maleteros: Porters In Front Of Mapdescription Architecture and City Planning Mark Bradford's project involves an intervention into the pre-existing labor dynamic of porters (maleteros) who work along the narrow border strip linking Tijuana and San Diego. "Maleteros" aims to facilitate, and make visible, porter services that for over two decades have been offered informally, or at least without formal recognition, between various access points at the San Ysidro border crossing.

The Good Rumor Project
title The Good Rumor Projectdescription "The Good Rumor Project" appropriates and replicates the model of a social experiment. In seeking to invert the more common negative effects of rumor Wrange and his collaborators constructed two "good" rumors: one about people in Tijuana that was spread in San Diego and one about people in San Diego that was spread in Tijuana. In contrast to normal rumors, the "good" rumors were created in dialogue with the actual subjects of the rumors through a series of focus groups. The "good" rumors were disseminated through a multifaceted strategy that combines some of the most advanced marketing techniques - viral/ word of mouth marketing - with structures borrowed from rumor theory as well as recent research on small-world networks and social network analysis. By tracing the organization of the interdependent communication channels in the border zone, as well as the spatial and temporal development of the "good" rumor, Wrange/ OMBUD reveal how Society is predicated on an ever evolving communicative process. --inSite_05 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 was extracted from a DVD-R from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 202, DVD 01) Tijuana (Baja California, Mexico) [Title, Date].

The Last Dance: Detail Of "Hand"
title The Last Dance: Detail Of "Hand"description Known for his kinetic, conceptual, and highly imaginative works, New York artist Dennis Oppenheim created an installation entitled "The Last Dance/La última danza" for a gallery space at the Children's Museum of San Diego. The piece consisted of four pairs of cacti forms spinning together in a disjointed dance to a cacophony of music emitted from a number of 1940s radios, a record player, and a bass drum randomly beaten by a mechanized pedal. The seeming chaos of the disharmonious music and the spinning cacti figures - that both strive for closeness, yet at the same time present harm to each other - suggests relationship, especially between two cultures, where elements come together, sometimes clash, and always intertwine. --inSITE94 Sculpture and Installations 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 310, Folder 03, Item 249) [Title, Date].

Osmosis And Excess
title Osmosis And Excessdescription Aernout Mik has created a video entitled "Osmosis and Excess" that interweaves images of junkyards in Tijuana's urban periphery with fictional scenes depicting a local pharmacy inundated with mud. Used cars flow from the United States to Mexico where they are eventually broken down and discarded on Tijuana's barren hillsides. Moving in the other direction, cheap drugs flow from Tijuana into the United States. The abandoned cars and the medications represent different manifestations of excess. Both modify a landscape: one inner, the other outer. The film was shot on high-definition video in a panoramic format to best illustrate the depicted landscapes. The video was projected as an intervention in a public parking lot in downtown San Diego.

Located prominently on the plaza of the Centro Cultural Tijuana, Ramirez replicated a common Tijuana shanty house and thereby placed the issue of socio-economic disparity where it would be difficult to avoid. The artist drew a sharp contrast to that of the modern façade of the CECUT and this apparent tension was further underscored when one ventured inside the building to find the trappings of common Mexican life. The installation included documentary photographs of five similar shanty homes. The artist stated that with this work he wanted to point to one of the sore spots of Mexican society and also posit that while some people may live in poverty they live equally with dignity and pride as members of the same society. --inSITE94 [Title, Date].
