A Lesson In Civics
title A Lesson In Civicsdescription Casa de la Cultura de Tijuana Paintings 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 01, Item 204) With her project for inSITE94, San Diego artist Jean Lowe created an installation that mirrored much of her previous work as a cunning commentary on an issue relevant to the current times. At the Casa de la Cultura Municipal in Tijuana, Lowe chose to rework the interior of one classroom. Entitled "A Lesson in Civics/Una lección de civismo," the classroom was richly outfitted with elements such as school desks, books, educational charts, and posters created by the artist in painted papier-mâché that distinctly referenced the topic of civics and how we learn to relate to other species. As the artist herself said about the work, she wanted to create an environment that encouraged a rethinking of the already known. --inSITE94 [Title, Date]. InSite Archive. MSS 707.

Tijuana'S Most Wanted Painting / San Diego'S Most Wanted Painting: Exhibition Of Paintings At The San Diego Museum Of Art
title Tijuana'S Most Wanted Painting / San Diego'S Most Wanted Painting: Exhibition Of Paintings At The San Diego Museum Of Artdescription Centro Cultural Tijuana Drawings and Watercolors Paintings Russian artist collaborators Vitaly Komar and Alex Melamid continued their "Most Wanted Paintings" series for inSITE2000, a series that employs a democratic process in creating "people's art" based on the aesthetic desires of the general population in a given area or country. As in previous versions of the series, the artists used multiple-choice survey questionnaires to discern, statistically, the personal preferences in art. The surveys were conducted in San Diego and Tijuana by graduate students from San Diego State University and from the Colegio de la Frontera Norte over the course of several weeks. The artists then used the data collected to create two paintings, San Diego's Most Wanted Painting and Tijuana's Most Wanted Painting. The two paintings were on view first at the San Diego Museum of Art and subsequently at the Centro Cultural Tijuana. --inSITE2000 San Diego 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 310, Folder 01, Item 194) [Title, Date].

Yin/Yang, Us/Them
title Yin/Yang, Us/Themdescription Albert Chong's project, "Yin/Yang, Us/Them/Yin/yang, nosotros/ellos," was installed at La Torre de Tijuana. Gathered on the floor of the Torre were apples and oranges arranged in the Taoist symbol of yin and yang. In the words of the artist, the fruits symbolize difference and co-existence. Surrounding this circle were half-shell coconuts containing water, wine, and rum. Evoking a space of ritual, the central circular element was balanced by a cowrie-shell jacket suspended from the ceiling, bottles of liquor, and a wall text. --inSITE94 La Torre de Tijuana, Tijuana, Mexico 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 064) [Title, Date].

Dirty Water Initiative: Solar Collectors And Water Bottles
title Dirty Water Initiative: Solar Collectors And Water Bottlesdescription Architecture and City Planning San Ysidro (San Diego, Calif.) Science, Technology and Industry Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) The U.S. art collective SIMPARCH began their investigative process by working with one of Tijuana's informal communties in collaboration with the Fundación Esperanza. They became especially interested in the threme of water, in particular the idea of purifying water using solar-based water distillation. The project, entitled "Dirty Water Initiative," has two phases: the first stage is to construct and install a small purification plant as a "public fountain" sited in the pedestrian walkway from San Ysidro to Tijuana at the U.S./Mexico port of entry; the second stage involves the donation of the distillation facility to an informal community in Tijuana. The deployment of these solar distillers, sealed in glass, more than an aesthetic effect at the urban scale, seeks to stimulate reflection about the problem of water, and the importance of researching ecological solutions that could achieve a direct impact at the community level within poor, informal settlements. --inSite_05 This image was extracted from a DVD-R from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 197, DVD 01) Tijuana (Baja California, Mexico) [Title, Date].

Aerial Bridge: Model Planes And Pilots With Spectators
title Aerial Bridge: Model Planes And Pilots With Spectatorsdescription "Aerial Bridge," by Maurycy Gomulicki, brings together diverse members of model airplane clubs in San Diego and Tijuana through a creative process of personalizing model airplanes and co-creating a flying event at the border. In this piece the experience of personal fantasy that is expressed in the designing and building of model planes combines with the unique experience of forging relationships. Scheduled for September 24, 2005, the event was geld at the cemeted riverbed of the Tijuana River, at the point where the yellow border demarcation line painted down the center of the river channel is approximately level with the intersection of the Via Rápida and the border bridge. --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 187, DVD 01) Tijuana River Tijuana River, California, United States [Title, Date].

Los Vendedores De Tijuana
title Los Vendedores De Tijuanadescription Drawings and Watercolors Kruglak Gallery, MiraCosta College Paintings San Diego-based artist Roberto Salas created an installation titled "Los vendedores de Tijuana" for inSITE94. Drawing from his own experience of selling a variety of things as a child, Salas made a selection of the traditional items one would find being offered while waiting to cross the border from Mexico to the United states. Anyone having been through that experience will know that vendors roam the rows of cars with all their wares draped across their bodies, stacked on their heads, or filling their arms. Salas chose to use the seemingly endless plaster cast figures made to appeal to American tourists, such as Mickey Mouse, skulls, hamburgers, Madonnas, Ninja Turtles, and so on, to create what he referred to as "monumental shamans of kitsch." --inSITE94 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 05, Item 327) [Title, Date].

title Death Perra: Television Monitor Showing The Film At The Casa De La Cultura, Tijuanadescription Casa de la Cultura de Tijuana Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art For inSITE97, Miguel Calderon created a short film spoofing satanic practices near the San Diego-Tijuana border, incorporating stereotypical UFO paraphernalia and imagery to emphasize the "cheesy" nature of both subjects. The film, "Death Perra," was shown on a small television at the Casa de la Cultural de Tijuana. Produced in the style of a music video, Calderon used satanic UFO records as the sound track, mixing scenes of his friends playing records on turntables with scenes of artificial UFOs in different locations. --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 309, Folder 02, Item 057) [Title, Date].

Mama: Film Still With Border Patrol Dog
title Mama: Film Still With Border Patrol Dogdescription Brazilian and Swiss artist team Mauricio Dias and Walter Riedweg's inSITE2000 project, "MAMA," was based on work the artists undertook during several extended residencies in the region. Interested in investigating the issues of border security and immigration, the artists met with numerous groups, organizations, and individuals on either side of the border to collect materials. Through this process the artists narrowed their work to deal specifically with K-9 US customs officers on the one hand, and on the other, Mexican citizens trying to cross the border illegally. What interested Dias and Riedweg were the maternal relationships of the K-9 officers and how that informed the relationships they developed with their dogs and in turn the work they were performing daily. The work became an investigation of the border between private and public selves, and of the transgression and transference of private psychology on public situations. The project was shown as a video installation housed in two separate structures located in the San Ysidro pedestrian passage, Pasillo Turistico. Built to simulate the shape and size of ordinary cargo containers, one structure contained video of interviews with the customs officers and showed them interacting with their dogs. Each officer was asked to give his definition of "territory" and "authority." The other structure showed a looped video clip of illegal immigrants meeting up at night around a fire waiting for the "right" moment to jump the fence. --inSITE2000 Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art Performing Arts (including Performance Art) San Ysidro, San Diego, California, United States Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This film still is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 309, Folder 03, Item 093) [Title, Date].

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.

One Flew Over The Void (Bala Perdida): Human Cannonball David Smith Ascends From Cannon And Across Border Fence
title One Flew Over The Void (Bala Perdida): Human Cannonball David Smith Ascends From Cannon And Across Border Fencedescription Building on a collaborative process that is evident throughout his artistic practice, Javier Téllez's project "One Flew Over the Void (Bala perdida)" involved a sustained engagement with psychiatric patients from the Baja California Mental Health Center in Mexicali to co-create a public event and to document its evolution and final performance. Inspired by the traditional "human cannonball" circus performer, Téllez explored the notion of spatial and mental borders in the context of Tijuana and San Diego, and developed an event that involves sending a "human cannonball" across the border between Mexico and the United States. Through successive creative workshops and exchanges the world's most famous human cannonball, Dave Smith, the psychiatric patients and Téllez collectively devised the backdrop, music, costumes, and radio and television announcements for the event. The performance occurred on August 27 at the site where the Mexico/US border fence disappears into the sea between Playas de Tijuana and Border Field State Park. Finally, Téllez created a video documenting the process and the event. --inSite_05 Imperial Beach, San Diego, California, United States 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 198, DVD 01) Tijuana (Baja California, Mexico) Tijuana, Playas de, Baja California Norte, Mexico [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].

Using water pumped from a well several miles northeast of the site, Hock built a double-sided drinking fountain with one head on each side of the border. People bending to drink from the heads could see each other through a hole cut in the metal fence. During the exhibition, US government authorities suddenly decided to replace the opaque metal fence with a chain link fence. "International Waters/Aguas internacionales" used the valuable resource, potable water, as an example of the flow and exchange that occurs along the border, despite the barriers and questions of ownership that try to hinder it. --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 309, Folder 06, Item 147) Tijuana, Playas de, Baja California Norte, Mexico [Title, Date].

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.)

You Are Aquí: Light Box Installed On The Puente Mexico
title You Are Aquí: Light Box Installed On The Puente Mexicodescription Cuban-born artist Arturo Cuenca was drawn to work with the visual language of billboards that crowd the US-Mexican border crossing at San Ysidro. With "You Are Aquí" Cuenca pointed to the obvious - locating border crossers exactly at the point of transition between the two countries. Borrowing from the visual language of the surrounding billboards. Cuenca constructed a new billboard with a manipulated satellite image of the border and had it installed on the Puente Mexico, the pedestrian bridge that crosses the lines of vehicular border traffic. Acting as a location marker, the work was seen by more than 45,000 commuters daily. --inSITE2000 Photographs Puente Mexico, San Ysidro, San Diego, California, United States 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 079) [Title, Date].

In(Fo)Site San Diego: Interior
title In(Fo)Site San Diego: Interiordescription Centro Cultural Tijuana Decorative Arts, Utilitarian Objects and Interior Design San Diego-based architect Hector Perez was commissioned for inSITE2000 with a specific charge to create two sites, one in San Diego and one in Tijuana, that would function as information hubs for the exhibition as well as house several finished projects. The intention was to create a space where the public could view inSITE2000 media-based projects and peruse materials related to the exhibition in general. The two sites also functioned as gathering places for several panel discussions and artist lectures for the Conversations series that was one of the components of inSITE2000. Perez incorporated elements into his design that he found central to the San Diego-Tijuana landscape, such as simplicity, mobility, economy, adaptability, and multi-functionality. In Tijuana the in(fo)SITE was located at the Centro Cultural Tijuana and in San Diego the in(fo)SITE was located downtown in the Spreckels Theater Building on First Avenue. --inSITE2000 Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) Spreckels Theater, San Diego, California, United States This image is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 310, Folder 03, Item 280) [Title, Date].

Working to establish some sort of platform for communication across the fence, Allen's proposal for a public exchange of words and music evolved from two stationary free-speech areas to two mobile units. Two vans were outfitted with wooden platforms, microphones, amplifiers, and translators, one for each side of the border. For the duration of the project the two vans met at various points along the border fence near Playas de Tijuana and Border Field State Park; and an open invitation was extended to all to climb onto the vans and communicate by any means to listeners on the other side. - inSITE94 This image is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 309, Folder 01, Item 022) Tijuana, Playas de, Baja California Norte, Mexico [Title, Date].

Podría Haber Muchos Más Que Éstos: Detail Of Pile Of Clay Rings
title Podría Haber Muchos Más Que Éstos: Detail Of Pile Of Clay Ringsdescription Installed in the Children's Museum in downtown San Diego, Anna Maria Maiolino's work was a mass collection of clay coils placed in random piles around the room. Using similar forms and processes from her previous work, "There Could Be Many More Than These/Podria haber muchos mas que estos" focused on the gesture and repetition used to create the clay coils. Molded over the course of several weeks, the number of coils was finite, but the infinite nature of the gesture creating them made the installation an act of chance. --inSITE97 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 02, Item 223) [Title, Date].

Some Kindly Monster: Right Side Of Truck With Custom Painted Exterior
title Some Kindly Monster: Right Side Of Truck With Custom Painted Exteriordescription Chris Ferreria's project, "Some Kindly Monster," was inspired by the expressive car culture that defines much of Southern California, and in particular the communities of Southeast San Diego and National City. By bringing together two distinct car customizers, who wouldn't normally collaborate together, Ferreria sought to create a monster vehicle that would embody his co-participants divergent aesthetics. In addition, Ferreria enlisted the contribution of three locally based DJs who created new recordings based on sampled field recordings taken from specific neighborhoods in San Diego. -- inSite_05 Decorative Arts, Utilitarian Objects and Interior Design East San Diego, San Diego (Calif.)

Popotla - The Wall: Mosaic Of Found Objects Representing Waves
title Popotla - The Wall: Mosaic Of Found Objects Representing Wavesdescription For their InSITE97 Community Engagement project, artist collective RevolucionArte (RevArte) worked with local children and residents of the fishing village Popotla to create murals constructed of found materials to soften and embellish the concrete walls surrounding their community. Popotla had recently been subjected to the development of numerous modern buildings and projects, including the kilometer-long concrete wall constructed for 20th Century Fox's production set for the film Titanic. It was on this wall that the murals were created, giving the residents a sense of ownership over their village and its landscape. "Popotla - The Wall/Popotla - El muro," was created over the course of four months, but even after the exhibition was over the community continued to add to the murals. --inSITE97 Popotla, Rosarito, Baja California Norte, Mexico 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 04, Item 295) [Title, Date].

Skalman chose to work at La Torre in Tijuana because of its architectural space, history, and the possibilities it offered. The artist created a sparse installation housing few constructed forms and lit the interior rooms with diffused lighting to further transform them into spaces of contemplation. -- inSITE94 La Torre de Tijuana, Tijuana, Mexico 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 346) [Title, Date].

title Stairway Of The Ancients: Mid-Landing Right Stair With Earth Goddess, Mayan Dog, Monkey, Conch Shelldescription "Stairway of the Ancients" is a complex stairway, probably built in the 1920s, leading up to the Casa de la Cultura. It is in disrepair with parts that are eroded or broken. To try to keep within this context, the figurines that MacConnel has cast, purchased from street vendors, are irregular, broken and "antiqued." The "Ancients" are funny, sad, prideful, odd remnants of tourist art.

João Louro's project "The Jewel / In God We Trust" traces the inverted trajectory of the recycling dynamic that characterizes the border zone. His project begins with the selection of a European car recovered from a junkyard in Tijuana and transformed into a "jewel" through the addition of a skin of gold leaf. Once this trash object is transformed into a opulent gold sculpture it will be exhibited and auctioned in San Diego. Proceeds from the sale will be given to an elementary school in Tijuana and used to support visual art workshops for children, where students will be encouraged to add further layers of imagery to the paper money. --inSite_05 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 189, DVD 01) [Title, Date].

Each site allowed children to write their own family stories and draw family portraits. Both installations were brightly colored and filled with images of houses, trees, birds, and birdhouses to symbolize the exchange of memories and stories from one museum to the other. The space at the Children's Museum was a Rain House that functioned as a studio, reading room, and exhibition space for the children's family projects. At the Centro, the space contained children-sized houses, benches and work spaces, and painted wood-picket fences and trees. The projects created at each installation then traveled to the other to be exhibited to complete the exchange of stories and perspectives. --inSITE97 Paintings 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 05, Item 335) [Title, Date].

Entitled "A Lesson in Civics/Una lección de civismo," the classroom was richly outfitted with elements such as school desks, books, educational charts, and posters created by the artist in painted papier-mâché that distinctly referenced the topic of civics and how we learn to relate to other species. As the artist herself said about the work, she wanted to create an environment that encouraged a rethinking of the already known. --inSITE94 [Title, Date]. InSite Archive. MSS 707.

Osmosis And Excess: Film Still Depicting Tijuana Hillside Covered In Junk Cars
title Osmosis And Excess: Film Still Depicting Tijuana Hillside Covered In Junk Carsdescription 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.

Converting a large truck into a stage replete with all the needed accoutrements, the project was specifically designed to be mobile in order to reach children living in different areas of the city and to engage their participation in the art of theatrical performance. The mobile theatre truck worked in collaboration with area libraries where weeklong workshops were coordinated with groups of children, culminating in staged finished pieces performed to an audience of their community. The pieces presented as part of the project arose out of suggestions, preferences, and opinions of the participating children and included themes such as environmental preservation, family and social violence, and neighborhood anecdotes. --inSITE2000 [Title, Date].

Anyone having been through that experience will know that vendors roam the rows of cars with all their wares draped across their bodies, stacked on their heads, or filling their arms. Salas chose to use the seemingly endless plaster cast figures made to appeal to American tourists, such as Mickey Mouse, skulls, hamburgers, Madonnas, Ninja Turtles, and so on, to create what he referred to as "monumental shamans of kitsch." --inSITE94 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 05, Item 328) [Title, Date].

The Invisible Man (My Way): Wrestling Ring And Audience
title The Invisible Man (My Way): Wrestling Ring And Audiencedescription Auditoria Municipal de Tijuana (Baja California, Mexico) Conceived by Mexico City artist Carlos Amorales as a further elaboration of the identity of his wrestling character, Amorales, his project for inSITE2000, "The Invisible Man (My Way)/El hombre invisible (A mi manera)," took the form of two public and distinct wrestling performances. On Friday, January 19, 2001, two wrestlers from Holland, Amorales and Amorales, were featured in a fight against Mexican wrestling stars Satanico and Ultimo Guerrero. The match was part of the regular Friday night program at the Auditorio Municipal, Tijuana. The crowd of 3,500 was quiet with uncertainty as these two unknown Dutch lucha libre personalities walked into the ring. The uncertainty was transformed to excitement as the audience realized that the two Amoraleses were not impostors, but professional lucha libre wrestlers. By the end of the fight, the audience was divided between those screaming, "Amorales, Amorales!" and those who were faithful to the national wrestlers, evil as they might be. At 8:00 pm, on Saturday, January 20, 2001, the sequel of the Amorales wrestling match took place as the centerpiece of a black-tie dinner at the prestigious Wyndham Emerald Plaza Hotel in downtown San Diego. The fight was followed by dancing with music mixed live by Silverio. -- inSITE2000 Performing Arts (including Performance Art) 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 026) [Title, Date].

Animal Vegetable Mineral
title Animal Vegetable Mineraldescription Artists Nanette Yannuzzi Macias and Melissa Smedley collaborated on a two-part installation for inSITE94 at El Sotano (an abandoned mop factory) in Tijuana and the San Diego Natural History Museum. Entitled "Animal Vegetable Mineral: Comidas para los sombreros," the artists explained the installations as explorations of the rituals of communication. At El Sotano, the work consisted of a multitude of materials from a cotton loom, gourds, candles, and buckets, to a deerskin, bird cage, and eucalyptus tree stump, suggesting, according to the artists, a laboratory space that referenced the machine and ritual. The installation at the Natural History Museum acted as a response to this magical machine and incorporated video elements situating the materials in dialogues that suggested not yet considered relationships. --inSITE94 El Sotano, Tijuana 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 357) [Title, Date].

Apacheta
title Apachetadescription Centro Cultural de la Raza (San Diego, Calif.) Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art San Diego-based Argentinian artist Graciela Ovejero created an installation for inSITE94 at the Centro Cultural de la Raza entitled "Apacheta." Drawing on Ovejero's personal heritage, the installation focused on the myth of Pachamama, or Mother Earth as it still exists in the belief of natives from the northern part of Argentina. One way that Pachamama is honored is by the construction of stone mounds called apachetas. For her installation the artist built a technological apacheta out of TV monitors, situated on a floor of soil and showing a video diptych, each video respectively titled "The Journey" and "Aspects and Manifestations." The videos were in response to the artist's relationship to the earth and how her cultural background has informed that relationship. --inSITE94 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 263) [Title, Date].

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].

After the performance, Vaisman planned to park the vehicle near the border fence at Playas de Tijuana, within sight of US Border Patrol officers, leaving it there to become a site registering local opinion. Yet given some obvious safety issues related to this proposal, the artist had to reconsider his project. With his original idea in mind Vaisman transformed one of the famous Tijuana zebra-painted mule carts into Border Patrol. With himself dressed in a Border Patrol uniform and the mule cart painted to look like an official vehicle, the Burro-Patrol was situated on a corner of Avenida Revolución for one weekend and functioned as a regular tourist photo-op station. -- inSITE2000 [Title, Date].

Using water pumped from a well several miles northeast of the site, Hock built a double-sided drinking fountain with one head on each side of the border. People bending to drink from the heads could see each other through a hole cut in the metal fence. During the exhibition, US government authorities suddenly decided to replace the opaque metal fence with a chain link fence. "International Waters/Aguas internacionales" used the valuable resource, potable water, as an example of the flow and exchange that occurs along the border, despite the barriers and questions of ownership that try to hinder it. --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 309, Folder 06, Item 148) Tijuana, Playas de, Baja California Norte, Mexico [Title, Date].

The intention was to create a space where the public could view inSITE2000 media-based projects and peruse materials related to the exhibition in general. The two sites also functioned as gathering places for several panel discussions and artist lectures for the Conversations series that was one of the components of inSITE2000. Perez incorporated elements into his design that he found central to the San Diego-Tijuana landscape, such as simplicity, mobility, economy, adaptability, and multi-functionality.

His project, The Loop, took him from his starting point at the border fence in Tijuana, to the same point on the border fence in San Diego. Stopping in places such as Australia, China, and Canada, Alys documented the trip through email, journal entries, photographs, and mementos found along the way. Alys stated that his project was an investigation of the verbal, visual, and bicultural, and was to remain independent from any critical implications and conclusions beyond the physical displacement of the artist. This documentation, as well as a series of postcards created by the artist during his travels, was displayed at the CECUT during the public phase of inSITE97. --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 01, Item 023) [Title, Date].

Titled Search/En Busqueda the piece functioned as a listening device searching the atmosphere for any discernible noise made by aliens. A suspended antenna above a receiving dish located at ground level of the bullring would pick up sounds that in turn would be broadcast, along with the white sound of listening, on speakers surrounding the bullring, as well as on FM radio and the web. The notion of possible contact with aliens both at the border and in space made the piece, according to the artist, "a global event, possibly cosmic." --inSITE2000 Plaza de Toros Monumental de Aguascalientes (Aguascalientes, Mexico) Science, Technology and Industry 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 02, Item 224) Tijuana, Playas de, Baja California Norte, Mexico [Title, Date].

Popotla had recently been subjected to the development of numerous modern buildings and projects, including the kilometer-long concrete wall constructed for 20th Century Fox's production set for the film Titanic. It was on this wall that the murals were created, giving the residents a sense of ownership over their village and its landscape. "Popotla - The Wall/Popotla - El muro," was created over the course of four months, but even after the exhibition was over the community continued to add to the murals. --inSITE97 Popotla, Rosarito, Baja California Norte, Mexico 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 04, Item 296) [Title, Date].

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].

Heat Seeking: Cell Phones
title Heat Seeking: Cell Phonesdescription "Heat-Seeking," the film Jordan Crandall produced for inSITE2000, made use of and mimicked surveillance technology deployed along the US-Mexico border. Exploring themes of Erotica and violence through five fantasy sequences woven into the overall structural narrative of mobility and monitoring, the film was shot on location in San Diego and Tijuana over the course of seven days in August 2000. Crandall stated that he wanted to use the language of cinema, advertising, and the "strategic seeing" of military systems to produce a film that would investigate interior and exterior borders. The piece was presented in two formats that each referenced mobility and ultimately established a reconfigured role of the viewer. In Tijuana, the film could be seen on the video billboard at the Cuauhtémoc Circle where scenes would be interspersed with advertising and other public media. In San Diego, Crandall's film could be seen on hand-held cell phones using streaming video technology. --inSITE2000 Cuauhtémoc Circle, Tijuana (Baja California, Mexico) Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art San Diego (Calif.)

Once this trash object is transformed into a opulent gold sculpture it will be exhibited and auctioned in San Diego. Proceeds from the sale will be given to an elementary school in Tijuana and used to support visual art workshops for children, where students will be encouraged to add further layers of imagery to the paper money. --inSite_05 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 189, DVD 01) [Title, Date].

Metamorphosis
title Metamorphosisdescription Performing Arts (including Performance Art) San Diego-based artist Deborah Small's project for inSITE94, titled Metamorphosis/Metamorfosis, explored the life and original research of seventeenth-century entomologist Maria Sybylla Merian. The installation drew on Merian's observations as a naturalist and her prolific engraved records of flora and fauna in the Dutch colony of Surinam. Apart from the work performed by Merian, the interest for Small was in the intersection of colonizer and the colonized, created by Merian's presence as a white European woman in a society and social system reliant on patriarchy, both at home and in the colony. --inSITE94 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 347) Timken Museum of Art [Title, Date].

Stairway Of The Ancients: Stairway Landing With Statues Of The Buddha And A Young Girl
title Stairway Of The Ancients: Stairway Landing With Statues Of The Buddha And A Young Girldescription "Stairway of the Ancients" is a complex stairway, probably built in the 1920s, leading up to the Casa de la Cultura. It is in disrepair with parts that are eroded or broken. To try to keep within this context, the figurines that MacConnel has cast, purchased from street vendors, are irregular, broken and "antiqued." The "Ancients" are funny, sad, prideful, odd remnants of tourist art.

Island On The Fence: Proposal Drawing
title Island On The Fence: Proposal Drawingdescription 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 005) [Title, Date].

Double Take
title Double Takedescription Casa de la Cultura de Tijuana Mexico City artist Sofia Taboas' project for inSITE94, titled "Double Take/Doble turno," was located in one of the hallways of the Casa de la Cultura in Tijuana. Taboas created a poetic installation that played with the light entering the hallway from windows at either end by breaking up the space with a minimal gesture in the form of delicate Draperies of blue glass beads strung on barely visible strings. The effect was that of space being framed by cascading lined dots of blue that seemed to vanish when looking from one end of the hallway to the other, and yet bring attention to the space and the quality of the light entering it. -- inSITE94 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 372) [Title, Date].

Each site allowed children to write their own family stories and draw family portraits. Both installations were brightly colored and filled with images of houses, trees, birds, and birdhouses to symbolize the exchange of memories and stories from one museum to the other. The space at the Children's Museum was a Rain House that functioned as a studio, reading room, and exhibition space for the children's family projects. At the Centro, the space contained children-sized houses, benches and work spaces, and painted wood-picket fences and trees. The projects created at each installation then traveled to the other to be exhibited to complete the exchange of stories and perspectives. --inSITE97 Paintings 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 05, Item 336) [Title, Date].

Entitled "A Lesson in Civics/Una lección de civismo," the classroom was richly outfitted with elements such as school desks, books, educational charts, and posters created by the artist in painted papier-mâché that distinctly referenced the topic of civics and how we learn to relate to other species.

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.

Working directly with the exterior of the entire Children's Museum of San Diego, Patterson selected a color pallet that would transform every surface of the Museum. Titled "union market island front," according to the four city streets surrounding the footprint of the museum, the block came alive through the colors chosen by the artist. The exterior transformation of the Museum was part of larger effort to establish a lasting identity for the institution and as an extension thereof. Patterson collaborated simultaneously with graphic designer Leah Roschke in designing the logo that would likewise come to represent the Museum. --inSITE94 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 267) [Title, Date].

Picturing Paradise: Border Fence With Mirrored Surfaces: View From The United States Side Of Border
title Picturing Paradise: Border Fence With Mirrored Surfaces: View From The United States Side Of Borderdescription Border Field State Park, San Diego For inSITE2000 Brazilian artist Valeska Soares was drawn to work directly with the border fence that divides the US and Mexico. Soares wanted specifically to find a way for people on either side of the border to be able to come together around a common theme or event and in some way create an exchange, or the illusion of an exchange, across the fence. Her initial proposal was for a garden project that would require a reconfiguration of the fence, yet it proved to be impossible to obtain permission to realize this idea. Soares changed her proposal but remained faithful to her concept of creating an opening in the fence. With Picturing Paradise the artist installed two highly polished large sheets of steel directly onto a section of chain-link fence at Playas de Tijuana, back to back, and as it were, creating the illusion of an opening in the fence, except what was seen was a reflection. Each mirrored surface was inscribed with an excerpt from Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino, a text that speaks of two mirror cities and what describes their shared reality. --inSITE2000 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 310, Folder 06, Item 365) Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve (Calif.)

For his inSITE97 Community Engagement project, San Diego artist Roberto Salas collaborated with artists in Tijuana and San Diego as well as San Diego students to create a piñata installation at the Centro Cultural de la Raza. Salas designed the piñatas in reference to his perceptions of traditional, popular, and personal iconography and allowed the artists to incorporate their own perspectives as the piñatas were fabricated. With bold colors and unusual imagery, "Piñatas encantadas" visually reinterpreted the traditional Mexican piñata while celebrating its history and mythology. As part of the installation, the piñata blueprints were displayed and students painted a mural that echoed themes from the piñatas. --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 05, Item 329) [Title, Date].

Preserve: Maya: Detail Of Read Gerbera Daisies At The Beginning Of The Exhibition
title Preserve: Maya: Detail Of Read Gerbera Daisies At The Beginning Of The Exhibitiondescription Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego Scottish artist Anya Gallacio created two installations for inSITE94, one untitled piece located at Centro Escolar Agua Caliente, the other titled "Preserve: Maya/Preservación: maya" at the downtown location of the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego. Gallacio was drawn to the site of Agua Caliente because of its history: it was built in 1929 as a resort and casino for the rich who came there to escape and play. Having been abandoned for many years, the pool was showing signs of decay with missing tiles, cracks, and broken elements. Gallacio chose to cover these exposed areas with gold foil, referencing and revealing a sense of the pool's gilded past. At MCASD, Gallacio worked with the theme of natural transformation. The artist chose a space viewable from both inside the Museum and from the bookstore, and layered red gerbera daisies between two panes of glass to create a botanical stained glass that was inserted as a window space. Over the course of the exhibition the flowers decomposed, fading to grey and revealing their own life cycle. --inSITE94 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 04, Item 120) [Title, Date].

Just yards from the border fence, one could take a ride on this circular track where a single wagon with five fir trees planted in empty oil drums went around in endless circles to a dizzying effect. However, rather than being transported around on the track itself there was just a single seat at the hub of the circle and the view from the seat was directed straight at the fir trees, so that although movement occurred the outlook one had remained the same. -- inSITE94 [Title, Date].

Lamelas then cut a small hole in the fifth wall at eye level, allowing a single shaft of light to beam through into the darkness. Viewers could approach the room from either side of the fifth wall and peer into the dark or light side of the space. Positing the division of resources and rights between powers, Lamelas created his own border zone of privileged and unprivileged spaces. --inSITE97 [Title, Date]. InSite Archive. MSS 707.

Using water pumped from a well several miles northeast of the site, Hock built a double-sided drinking fountain with one head on each side of the border. People bending to drink from the heads could see each other through a hole cut in the metal fence. During the exhibition, US government authorities suddenly decided to replace the opaque metal fence with a chain link fence. International Waters/Aguas Internacionales used the valuable resource, potable water, as an example of the flow and exchange that occurs along the border, despite the barriers and questions of ownership that try to hinder it. --KB 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 309, Folder 06, Item 149) Tijuana, Playas de, Baja California Norte, Mexico [Title, Date].

Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art For inSITE97 Rubén Ortiz Torres collaborated with Salvador "Chava" Munoz to construct "Alien Toy UCO (Unidentified Cruising Object)/La ranfla cosmica ORNI (Objeto rodante no identificado)," a lowrider car that was converted into a dancing hydraulics wonder in the form of a Border Patrol vehicle. Chava, a world champion in radical bed dancing, reworked each section of the car to move and spin on its own set of hydraulics and arms. Ortiz Torres produced a film with alien imagery and clips of the car in action to accompany the installation. Ortiz Torres stated that the car was a product of cultural migration and exchange, a visual manifestation of the cultural hybridization in Southern California. --inSITE97 Http://www.track16.com/exhibitions/ruben/ruben.html 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 257) [Title, Date].

In(Fo)Site San Diego: Interior
title In(Fo)Site San Diego: Interiordescription Centro Cultural Tijuana Decorative Arts, Utilitarian Objects and Interior Design San Diego-based architect Hector Perez was commissioned for inSITE2000 with a specific charge to create two sites, one in San Diego and one in Tijuana, that would function as information hubs for the exhibition as well as house several finished projects. The intention was to create a space where the public could view inSITE2000 media-based projects and peruse materials related to the exhibition in general. The two sites also functioned as gathering places for several panel discussions and artist lectures for the Conversations series that was one of the components of inSITE2000. Perez incorporated elements into his design that he found central to the San Diego-Tijuana landscape, such as simplicity, mobility, economy, adaptability, and multi-functionality. In Tijuana the in(fo)SITE was located at the Centro Cultural Tijuana and in San Diego the in(fo)SITE was located downtown in the Spreckels Theater Building on First Avenue. --inSITE2000 Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) Spreckels Theater, San Diego, California, United States This image is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 310, Folder 04, Item 282) [Title, Date].
