Toaster Work Wagon: Exhibition
title Toaster Work Wagon: Exhibitiondescription Centro Cultural Tijuana 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 009) [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 Photographsdescription Centro Cultural Tijuana For inSITE97, Ken Lum created two oversized large-scale photographs that were shown at the Centro Cultural Tijuana. The first photograph showed a young girl in San Diego talking on the phone about plans to eat either Mexican or Chinese food. The second photograph, with text from a popular Mexican children's rhyme, shows a young boy selling American soda and candy. The work suggests the blurring of cultural borders despite the adamantly divisive physical barrier. As a Canadian living near the northern US border, Lum stated that his experience in San Diego and Tijuana during inSITE97 caused him to rethink his notion of borders, and consider how the United States, with its pervasive capitalism and culture, borders nations throughout the world. --inSITE97 Photographs 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 207) [Title, Date].
