Saline: Plexiglas Containers Filled With Water
title Saline: Plexiglas Containers Filled With Waterdescription For inSITE94, artist Nina Karavasiles created "Saline/La salina" at the Stephen Birch Aquarium-Museum, part of Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego. The artist built a salt-filled trough that extended from the aquarium-museum courtyard down the hillside towards the water, creating a visual connection to the seaside, the Scripps Pier, and the ocean beyond. Alongside the trough were Plexiglas enclosures containing salt water. Over the course of the exhibition the water evaporated leaving behind salt crystals. --inSITE94 Garden and Landscape Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) Stephen Birch Aquarium-Museum This image is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 310, Folder 01, Item 178) [Title, Date].

Toaster Work Wagon: Wagon Situated By U.S. - Mexico Border Fence
title Toaster Work Wagon: Wagon Situated By U.S. - Mexico Border Fencedescription Kim Adam's for inSITE97, Toaster Work Wagon, was a grafting on existing nomadic street life (i.e. concession vehicles). The trailered unit, constructed from the hoods and ends of two Volkswagen vans, set out on daily wanderings around San Diego and Tijuana like a winged toaster. Popping open into a work-waiting station, the Wagon attracted crowds of children and bystanders with its unusual contents. Children's bicycles were grafted into two-headed tricycles that were left at the site for adoption. Children experimented with the bicycles, cooperating with one another to move in one direction or the other. Adam's project experimented with notions of form and function as well as movement and direction. During the public phase of inSITE97, the Wagon was displayed at the Centro Cultural Tijuana. --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 01, Item 011) Tijuana, Playas de, Baja California Norte, Mexico [Title, Date].

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].

One Flew Over The Void (Bala Perdida): Audience Awaiting Launch Of Human Cannonball David Smith Across Border Fence From Mexico Into The U.S
title One Flew Over The Void (Bala Perdida): Audience Awaiting Launch Of Human Cannonball David Smith Across Border Fence From Mexico Into The U.Sdescription 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].
