El Niño: Proposal Drawing
title El Niño: Proposal Drawingdescription Centro Cultural Tijuana For inSITE97 Einar and Jamex de la Torre constructed "El Niño," a monumental pyramid based on pre-Hispanic design and iconography. The vinyl and glass structure was installed in the lobby of the CECUT in Tijuana, juxtaposing the contemporary architecture of the space with the ancient motifs on the pyramid. El Nino incorporated symbolism of the demigod that is part holy child, part weather demon, with the El Sexenio, the six year presidential term that prompts cycles of havoc/progress in the Mexican economy. The interior of the pyramid was visible through glass staircases on the sides of the pyramid, revealing plaster statues of Jesus in a womblike cavern. "El Niño" captured the intersection of different traditions and lifestyles within the Mexican region that create a hybridization of culture. --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 03, Item 082) [Title, Date].

The Great Balboa Park Landfill Exposition Of 1997: Pyramid Made Of Adobe And Hay
title The Great Balboa Park Landfill Exposition Of 1997: Pyramid Made Of Adobe And Haydescription Balboa Park (San Diego, Calif.) Cindy Zimmerman's Community Engagement project for inSITE97 was the development of a new park environment at the landfill adjacent to Florida Canyon in Balboa Park. Constructing the piece over several months, Zimmerman involved children and families in the creation and placement of straw bales and clay in the landfill to make labyrinths, temporary earthworks, and adobe structures. "The Great Balboa Park Landfill Exposition of 1997/La gran exposicion del relleno del Balboa Park 1997" transformed an unused and unattractive plot of land into a new community park and art installation. Zimmerman led workshops and meetings throughout the project to involve the community and collaborate with the participants to create art from organic materials. -- inSITE97 Garden and Landscape 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 311, Folder 02, Item 429) [Title, Date].

Maze: Cinder Block Pyramid Under Construction

Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) The New Children's Museum (American museum) This image is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 309, Folder 06, Item 170) With his two-part environmental installation for inSITE94, artist David Jurist's impulse was to create a project that took architecture and its impact on cultural history and development as its central issue. "Maíz/Maze" was located at the Children's museum of San Diego and in the Regents Park office Complex in La Jolla's Golden Triangle area. Using corn as his primary structural element, Jurist chose a large open area of land in the Golden Triangle and "grew" the floor plan of a typical Southern California condominium. As the corn grew, the floor plan transformed slowly into a maze. At the Children's Museum, Jurist built a pyramid using concrete blocks in the hollow of which he planted corn. A video monitor was installed at the center of the pyramid that continuously showed a static overhead image of the La Jolla corn maze. The artist noted that he wanted to reference the assimilation of cultures, and the flux that occurs between north and south in the region. --inSITE94 [Title, Date]. InSite Archive. MSS 707.

Renacimiento (Birth Of La Raza Cosmica)
title Renacimiento (Birth Of La Raza Cosmica)description "The visible side of column #T-46 upper side cap was painted by Felipe Adame, The lower side remained unpainted until the restoration in 1992, Guillermo Aranda paints a native dancer in this section. Thus continuing the panel painting of single areas isolated from the main surfaces and themes of the columns painted. Many of these works are well-done single panels, unfortunately these panels do not relate designs to each other, they have the power to stand alone, as single puzzles in a vast intricate panorama of colonnades."
