Signs Of Mount Signal: View Of Exhibition At Steppling Art Gallery, San Diego State University, Calexico
title Signs Of Mount Signal: View Of Exhibition At Steppling Art Gallery, San Diego State University, Calexicodescription For inSITE2000 New York-based artist Allan McCollum created a multivenue project involving the participation of residents and institutions from the Imperial Valley and Valle de Mexicali region to the east of San Diego. Interested in participating in the establishment of a cultural identity and iconography for the region, McCollum was initially drawn to the area through learning about sand spikes, a unique natural geological concretion found only at the foot of Mt. Signal/El Centinela. With the mountain straddling the US-Mexico border, it was already established as a physical landmark and identifying symbol for locals on either side of the border. During extended residency periods McCollum collected artworks by local residents depicting the mountain and performed extensive research on the sand spike and Mt. Signal, as well as the local culture surrounding both. With his project Signs of Mount Signal/Signos del Cerro del centinela, McCollum brought together the work of thirty-seven local artists showcasing the mountain and forged a collaboration between four regional institutions. The project included over one thousand cast replicas of the sand spike and Mt. Signal, a 16-foot sand spike sculpture, a large-scale model of Mt. Signal, collected historical information about the area, local artwork depicting the mountain, as well as twelve booklets produced by the artist on the subject of concretions. The project was shown in parts at the Museo de la Universidad Autonoma de Baja California, Mexicali, the Steppling Art Gallery at San Diego State University in Calexico, the Imperial County Historical Society Pioneer's Museum, and combined at the University Art Gallery at San Diego State University. --inSITE2000 Paintings Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) Steppling Art Gallery, San Diego State University.

Mark Dion - Press Coverage
title Mark Dion - Press Coveragedescription Dan Irwin interviews inSITE2000 artist Mark Dion. With the creation of a functioning bird blind located in the Tijuana River Estuary Reserve, Mark Dion's project Blind/Hide for inSITE2000 invited investigation and closer examination not only of the biodiversity of the site but also of the less apparent signs of cultural confluence specific to the location. Camouflaged to blend into the surrounding terrain the project was sited within a view of the border. The 8 x 16 foot bird blind structure housed photographs, charts, and books on the 370 bird species found at the reserve, along with binoculars and related research tools. As Dion himself said, he wanted to make a project that illustrated the complicated elements of this particular locale. The viewer was invited to become an observer of the more subtle environmental and political issues impacting the reserve, while bearing witness to how birds and wildlife have learned to conform and adapt. --inSITE2000 Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This sound recording was extracted from a CD-R from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 254, CD 00-63) Tijuana River Estuary (Calif.)
