A Nomad in Love
title A Nomad in Lovedescription Serigraph on paper, 27.5 in. x 19.5 in. Taller 75 Grados, Mexico City, MX. Desert Triangle Print Carpeta. "A Nomad in Love is a personal narrative. While making this print, I was also working on a painting for an exhibit at the National Museum of Mexican Art about home and community. When I think of home, the image of the mountains comes to mind, so in this print, I depict the Franklin Mountains. These mountains are a sacred indigenous symbol of the thunderbird on them. As a kid, I played at the foot of these mountains, and they make me feel grounded. The image of a hummingbird is inspired by the Mexica (Aztec) tradition that says the spark in our hearts beats like the flight of a hummingbird: steady and self-sustaining. I was in some hard times, personally having lost important people in my life. I was feeling crazy and alone like a coyote howling at the rabbit moon. So I’m telling a love story through symbols and images about heartbreak and anxiety. But there is also some comedy in those wild eyes. Laughing at my loss. There is a saying I know from the work of the artist poet, José Montoya: “La locura cura” (Craziness cures). Laughter heals, and this print cracks me up. I was born in Las Cruces, NM [in 1983] and raised in El Paso, TX. I’ve exhibited in museums, galleries, and community spaces in Chicago, Los Angeles, and throughout the Southwestern region. I have a Visual Studies degree from The University of Texas at Austin, and I’m self-trained in my craft. My multidisciplinary work explores identity, community, and life on the border. My process often involves community collaboration and engagement." — Zeke Peñaartist/creator Peña, Zekesubject Borderlands Frontera Mountains Texas--El Paso Nature in art Environment Ecology Desert Triangle Animals in art Love in art Screen prints Prints Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -

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.
