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].

title Popotla - The Wall Popotla - El Muro: Documentary Videodescription For their InSITE97 Community Engagement project, artist collective RevolcionArte (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, Mexico Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This video file was extracted from a DVD-R from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 256, DVD 97-11) [Title, Date].

The Line
title The Linedescription Fernando Arias's project for inSITE97, The Line/La linea, was installed at the ReinCarnation Project in downtown San Diego. Using a piece of the US-Mexico border sheet metal fence slightly suspended above a concrete floor, Arias divided an interior space. Beneath the suspended edge of the fence the artist placed white powder - an image of cocaine about to be cut. Attempting to highlight the human issues raised by illegal drug trafficking among countries of the Americas, Arias focused particularly on the use of the human body as a vehicle for transport and smuggling. During the opening weekend of the exhibition, Arias invited viewers to look into an endoscope running into his body to illustrate the invasive ways in which drugs are transported. --inSITE97 ReinCarnation Project San Diego (Calif.)

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.

The Cloud: White Balloons Suspended In The Sky Over The United States/Mexico Border Wall
title The Cloud: White Balloons Suspended In The Sky Over The United States/Mexico Border Walldescription New York-based Chilean artist Alfredo Jaar's project for inSITE2000 was designed as an ephemeral monument in memory of the migrants who had died during the previous ten years while trying to cross the border between Mexico and the US. Entitled La nube/The Cloud the piece centered around the ceremonial release of over one thousand white balloons. With the balloons tethered together as a large cloud positioned immediately above the border fence at Valle del Matador/Goat Canyon, not far from Playas de Tijuana, the work took the form of a ceremony that included the performance of classical pieces by Albinoni, Bach and Veracini, the reading of a poem by Tijuana poet Victor Hugo Limon, and a minute of silence. The balloons were then released from the cluster and drifted off one by one across the sky as symbols of the souls of the dead migrants. --inSITE2000 Performing Arts (including Performance Art) Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This video file was extracted from a DVD-R from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 256, DVD 00-08) Tijuana, Playas de, Baja California Norte, Mexico Valle del Matador/Goat Canyon [Title, Date].

Island On The Fence: View Of Proposal Model: Floating Island With Border Fence In Background
title Island On The Fence: View Of Proposal Model: Floating Island With Border Fence In Backgrounddescription 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 007) [Title, Date].

The Cloud: White Balloons Being Released While Musicians Perform
title The Cloud: White Balloons Being Released While Musicians Performdescription New York-based Chilean artist Alfredo Jaar's project for inSITE2000 was designed as an ephemeral monument in memory of the migrants who had died during the previous ten years while trying to cross the border between Mexico and the US. Entitled La nube/The Cloud the piece centered around the ceremonial release of over one thousand white balloons. With the balloons tethered together as a large cloud positioned immediately above the border fence at Valle del Matador/Goat Canyon, not far from Playas de Tijuana, the work took the form of a ceremony that included the performance of classical pieces by Albinoni, Bach and Veracini, the reading of a poem by Tijuana poet Victor Hugo Limon, and a minute of silence. The balloons were then released from the cluster and drifted off one by one across the sky as symbols of the souls of the dead migrants. --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 06, Item 165) Tijuana, Playas de, Baja California Norte, Mexico Valle del Matador/Goat Canyon [Title, Date].

title The Middle Of The Road: Detail Of The Aztec Goddess Tlazolteotl Against Border Fencedescription After her initial residency in the region, Mexico City artist Silvia Gruner was drawn to working directly on the border fence. She chose a stretch of the fence running along the residential neighborhood of Colonia Libertad in Tijuana. Entitled "The Middle of the Road/La mitad del camino," the installation consisted of more than 100 replicas of the Aztec goddess Tlazolteotl in a birthing position on metal stools, mounted directly onto the border fence.

Toaster Work Wagon: Modified Bicycle To Be Given Away To Children From The Wagon
title Toaster Work Wagon: Modified Bicycle To Be Given Away To Children From The Wagondescription 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 008) [Title, Date].

Ayate Car: Car Installed By The Border Fence
title Ayate Car: Car Installed By The Border Fencedescription Betsabee Romero's inSITE97 project, "Ayate Car," was installed next to the border fence in Colonia Libertad. Romero covered a 1955 Ford Crown Victoria with floral painted fabric and filled it with roses that decayed slowly over the course of the exhibition. The residents of the colonia protected the car throughout the exhibition and saw it as their own shrine. Meant to contrast the masculine with the feminine, the car was a symbol of refuge and an altar at which residents could seek solace from the struggles that are a part of daily life in Colonia Libertad. --inSITE97 Colonia Libertad, Tijuana, Baja California, 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 314) [Title, Date].

The Line
title The Linedescription Fernando Arias's project for inSITE97, The Line/La linea, was installed at the ReinCarnation Project in downtown San Diego. Using a piece of the US-Mexico border sheet metal fence slightly suspended above a concrete floor, Arias divided an interior space. Beneath the suspended edge of the fence the artist placed white powder - an image of cocaine about to be cut. Attempting to highlight the human issues raised by illegal drug trafficking among countries of the Americas, Arias focused particularly on the use of the human body as a vehicle for transport and smuggling. During the opening weekend of the exhibition, Arias invited viewers to look into an endoscope running into his body to illustrate the invasive ways in which drugs are transported. --inSITE97 ReinCarnation Project San Diego (Calif.)
