title You Can'T Get There From Heredescription Centro Cultural de la Raza (San Diego, Calif.) Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) The collaborative contribution to inSITE94 by San Diego artists Mario Lara and Barbara Sexton, "You Can't Get There from Here/No puedes ir allá desde aquí," was located at the Centro Cultural de la Raza in San Diego. Consisting of two main elements, the installation dealt with the relationship between trophies of achievement and the individual self-image that often dispels the very essence of what is publicly recognized. The artists created numerous plaques and trophies that were displayed salon style on the walls of the space, while the other central element, a billboard prop, outwardly proclaimed the word PARADISO. - inSITE94 This image is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 310, Folder 01, Item 199) [Title, Date].

Airplane Parts And Building, A Large Growth For San Diego: Exterior View
title Airplane Parts And Building, A Large Growth For San Diego: Exterior Viewdescription Commissioned by the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego a few years prior to 1994, the Museum presented, in conjunction with inSITE94, a new installation by Los Angeles-based artist Nancy Rubins at their downtown location. Titled "Airplane Parts and Building, A Large Growth for San Diego," the installation was built of discarded airplane parts that were arranged to rise from the floor of the interior space of the Museum and pierce through the building's south-facing windows to form a large hovering growth on the exterior. The dynamic arrangement of the elements made the pieces work together as one appearing frozen in time and their careful placement as a whole suggested a rapid movement as though whirled together by some unknown force. --inSITE94 Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego 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 318) [Title, Date].

Century 21: Shack In Courtyard Of The Centro Cultural Tijuana
title Century 21: Shack In Courtyard Of The Centro Cultural Tijuanadescription Architecture and City Planning Centro Cultural Tijuana Decorative Arts, Utilitarian Objects and Interior Design 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 289) With "Century 21" Tijuana artist Marcos Ramirez ERRE created a piece for inSITE94 that captured significant public attention. Located prominently on the plaza of the Centro Cultural Tijuana, Ramirez replicated a common Tijuana shanty house and thereby placed the issue of socio-economic disparity where it would be difficult to avoid. The artist drew a sharp contrast to that of the modern façade of the CECUT and this apparent tension was further underscored when one ventured inside the building to find the trappings of common Mexican life. The installation included documentary photographs of five similar shanty homes. The artist stated that with this work he wanted to point to one of the sore spots of Mexican society and also posit that while some people may live in poverty they live equally with dignity and pride as members of the same society. --inSITE94 [Title, Date].

Curtain Call
title Curtain Calldescription Centro Cultural Tijuana Mexico City artist Felipe Ehrenberg created a two-part installation for inSITE94, "Curtain Call," sited in the concourse of the Santa Fe Depot in San Diego and in the garden of the Centro Cultural Tijuana. The artist installed two nearly identical structures. In Tijuana, the work consisted of a metal framework of poles between which cables were stretched. Across these cables, faceless cotton cloth dolls were randomly hung like human musical notes. In San Diego, the installation took a similar form, except that the framework was built of wood and the lines were made of hemp. --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 309, Folder 04, Item 106) [Title, Date].

The Tower
title The Towerdescription Drawing on the tradition of the California Light and Space movement, San Diego-based artist Jim Skalman created an installation titled "The Tower/La Torre" for inSITE94 that joined these sensibilities in a minimal expression of calculated form, space, and light. Skalman chose to work at La Torre in Tijuana because of its architectural space, history, and the possibilities it offered. The artist created a sparse installation housing few constructed forms and lit the interior rooms with diffused lighting to further transform them into spaces of contemplation. -- inSITE94 La Torre de Tijuana, Tijuana, 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 06, Item 344) [Title, Date].

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].

Blue Granite Shift
title Blue Granite Shiftdescription California Center for the Arts Museum (Escondido, Calif.) For inSITE94, Mathieu Gregoire created a permanent installation for the central courtyard of the California Center for the Arts, Escondido. Entitled "Blue Granite Shift/Transición del granite azul," the piece is made of granite quarried from the hills surrounding the cultural complex. Extending 500 feet throughout the courtyard, the work moves from rough granite boulders to increasingly more cut and polished stones, finally ending with completely square granite elements. Likewise, the landscaping follows a similar evolution from native plants and trees to more formal and decorative varieties. The work suggests development in the area as having been wrought from the natural environment. --inSITE94 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 309, Folder 05, Item 131) [Title, Date].

The artist erected four billboards with images of the canyon spaced about one hundred yards apart. As one would approach the canyon by car the question "When is a Canyon Not a Canyon," written out over the four billboards, highlighted a development project then being considered by the Chula Vista City Council. Over the course of the exhibition the artist gradually covered each pristine billboard image of the canyon with drawings showing the development of street systems, housing and planned landscaping, suggesting what would happen to the natural landscape should the development be approved. --inSITE94 [Title, Date].

Yin/Yang, Us/Them
title Yin/Yang, Us/Themdescription Albert Chong's project, "Yin/Yang, Us/Them/Yin/yang, nosotros/ellos," was installed at La Torre de Tijuana. Gathered on the floor of the Torre were apples and oranges arranged in the Taoist symbol of yin and yang. In the words of the artist, the fruits symbolize difference and co-existence. Surrounding this circle were half-shell coconuts containing water, wine, and rum. Evoking a space of ritual, the central circular element was balanced by a cowrie-shell jacket suspended from the ceiling, bottles of liquor, and a wall text. --inSITE94 La Torre de Tijuana, Tijuana, 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 309, Folder 03, Item 063) [Title, Date].

Rain Bow: View With Blinds Open
title Rain Bow: View With Blinds Opendescription San Diego Natural History Museum San Diego-based artist Roman de Salvo created four distinct installations for inSITE94 at the San Diego Natural History Museum. Titled "Rain Bow/Arco de lluvia," "Santa Ana," "Exits/Salidas," and "Mouse Hole/Ratonera," respectively, the pieces were located in areas of the museum not normally used for exhibition. Drawing attention to the marginal with a certain measure of wit, de Salvo's minimal yet rich interjections invited visitors to contemplate freely, without detailed exposition from the artist. With "Rain Bow" engaging the drinking fountain pulls a cord which opens the shutter blinds, revealing an image of a rainbow over the park directly outside the museum.

Untitled: Gold Leaf With Plumeria Bloomin In Bottom Of Abandoned Pool
title Untitled: Gold Leaf With Plumeria Bloomin In Bottom Of Abandoned Pooldescription Architecture and City Planning Centro Escolar Agua Caliente (Tijuana, Mexico) Scottish artist Anya Gallacio created two installations for inSITE94, one untitled piece located at Centro Escolar Agua Caliente, the other titled "Preserve: Maya/Preservación: maya" at the downtown location of the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego. Gallacio was drawn to the site of Agua Caliente because of its history: it was built in 1929 as a resort and casino for the rich who came there to escape and play. Having been abandoned for many years, the pool was showing signs of decay with missing tiles, cracks, and broken elements. Gallacio chose to cover these exposed areas with gold foil, referencing and revealing a sense of the pool's gilded past. At MCASD, Gallacio worked with the theme of natural transformation. The artist chose a space viewable from both inside the Museum and from the bookstore, and layered red gerbera daisies between two panes of glass to create a botanical stained glass that was inserted as a window space. Over the course of the exhibition the flowers decomposed, fading to grey and revealing their own life cycle. --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 309, Folder 04, Item 124) [Title, Date].

Animal Vegetable Mineral
title Animal Vegetable Mineraldescription Artists Nanette Yannuzzi Macias and Melissa Smedley collaborated on a two-part installation for inSITE94 at El Sotano (an abandoned mop factory) in Tijuana and the San Diego Natural History Museum. Entitled "Animal Vegetable Mineral: Comidas para los sombreros," the artists explained the installations as explorations of the rituals of communication. At El Sotano, the work consisted of a multitude of materials from a cotton loom, gourds, candles, and buckets, to a deerskin, bird cage, and eucalyptus tree stump, suggesting, according to the artists, a laboratory space that referenced the machine and ritual. The installation at the Natural History Museum acted as a response to this magical machine and incorporated video elements situating the materials in dialogues that suggested not yet considered relationships. --inSITE94 El Sotano, Tijuana 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 06, Item 362) [Title, Date].

Airplane Parts And Building, A Large Growth For San Diego: Interior View
title Airplane Parts And Building, A Large Growth For San Diego: Interior Viewdescription Commissioned by the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego a few years prior to 1994, the Museum presented, in conjunction with inSITE94, a new installation by Los Angeles-based artist Nancy Rubins at their downtown location. Titled "Airplane Parts and Building, A Large Growth for San Diego," the installation was built of discarded airplane parts that were arranged to rise from the floor of the interior space of the Museum and pierce through the building's south-facing windows to form a large hovering growth on the exterior. The dynamic arrangement of the elements made the pieces work together as one appearing frozen in time and their careful placement as a whole suggested a rapid movement as though whirled together by some unknown force. --inSITE94 Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego 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 319) [Title, Date].

Yanagi's work "America" had been installed previously in variations at different institutions around the world. For this installation the artist chose to include thirty-six flags of each country of the Americas in his elaborate ant farm. Over the course of the exhibition the ants created tunnels through the various flags and the colored sand that was used was gradually mixed, thereby creating new symbols. -- inSITE94 Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego 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 416) [Title, Date].

Working to establish some sort of platform for communication across the fence, Allen's proposal for a public exchange of words and music evolved from two stationary free-speech areas to two mobile units. Two vans were outfitted with wooden platforms, microphones, amplifiers, and translators, one for each side of the border. For the duration of the project the two vans met at various points along the border fence near Playas de Tijuana and Border Field State Park; and an open invitation was extended to all to climb onto the vans and communicate by any means to listeners on the other side. - inSITE94 This image is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 309, Folder 01, Item 017) Tijuana, Playas de, Baja California Norte, Mexico [Title, Date].

Muezzin
title Muezzindescription Centro Escolar Agua Caliente (Tijuana, Mexico) Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art Legendary pioneer of Happenings, Allan Kaprow, created a piece for inSITE94 that referenced his historic contribution to art in his use of the found, commonplace, and literal experience. Kaprow chose to use the minaret tower at Centro Escolar Agua Caliente as the site for his piece and elaborated on the associations it evoked, from Muslim prayer towers to rockets and war missiles. With the title MUEZZIN, Kaprow made a reference to the Islamic crier, or muezzin, who calls worshippers to prayer throughout the day. Rather than a human voice however, the artist used a recording of barking dogs calling out from the tower every hour, while a dense fog simultaneously was emitted from the base of the tower, simulating the firing of a missile. --inSITE94 Sculpture and Installations 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 94-34) [Title, Date].

The artist drew a sharp contrast to that of the modern façade of the CECUT and this apparent tension was further underscored when one ventured inside the building to find the trappings of common Mexican life. The installation included documentary photographs of five similar shanty homes. The artist stated that with this work he wanted to point to one of the sore spots of Mexican society and also posit that while some people may live in poverty they live equally with dignity and pride as members of the same society. --inSITE94 [Title, Date].

It is in disrepair with parts that are eroded or broken. To try to keep within this context, the figurines that MacConnel has cast, purchased from street vendors, are irregular, broken and "antiqued." The "Ancients" are funny, sad, prideful, odd remnants of tourist art.

The artist installed two nearly identical structures. In Tijuana, the work consisted of a metal framework of poles between which cables were stretched. Across these cables, faceless cotton cloth dolls were randomly hung like human musical notes. In San Diego, the installation took a similar form, except that the framework was built of wood and the lines were made of hemp. --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 309, Folder 04, Item 107) [Title, Date].

For inSITE94, Mathieu Gregoire created a permanent installation for the central courtyard of the California Center for the Arts, Escondido. Entitled "Blue Granite Shift/Transición del granite azul," the piece is made of granite quarried from the hills surrounding the cultural complex. Extending 500 feet throughout the courtyard, the work moves from rough granite boulders to increasingly more cut and polished stones, finally ending with completely square granite elements. Likewise, the landscaping follows a similar evolution from native plants and trees to more formal and decorative varieties. The work suggests development in the area as having been wrought from the natural environment. --inSITE94 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 309, Folder 05, Item 132) [Title, Date].

Occupying a large section of the La Jolla Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, Ming Mur-Ray's installation for inSITE94 was entitled "CYM55296." Arranged on long shelves, the artist neatly installed rows of square wooden tablets displaying an invented language of calligraphy. Another element of the installation was rows of books sealed tight and with the phrase "See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil," on their covers, alluding to Censorship within the arts. Also, part of the work was a bookcase randomly stacked with books fond to be controversial or drawing public complaints. Together these elements created a dialogue around language and how public and private opinion often categorizes based on content. --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 03, Item 240) [Title, Date].

However, rather than being transported around on the track itself there was just a single seat at the hub of the circle and the view from the seat was directed straight at the fir trees, so that although movement occurred the outlook one had remained the same. -- inSITE94 [Title, Date].

Blue Granite Shift
title Blue Granite Shiftdescription California Center for the Arts Museum (Escondido, Calif.) For inSITE94, Mathieu Gregoire created a permanent installation for the central courtyard of the California Center for the Arts, Escondido. Entitled "Blue Granite Shift/Transición del granite azul," the piece is made of granite quarried from the hills surrounding the cultural complex. Extending 500 feet throughout the courtyard, the work moves from rough granite boulders to increasingly more cut and polished stones, finally ending with completely square granite elements. Likewise, the landscaping follows a similar evolution from native plants and trees to more formal and decorative varieties. The work suggests development in the area as having been wrought from the natural environment. --inSITE94 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 309, Folder 05, Item 133) [Title, Date].

Occupying a large section of the La Jolla Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, Ming Mur-Ray's installation for inSITE94 was entitled "CYM55296." Arranged on long shelves, the artist neatly installed rows of square wooden tablets displaying an invented language of calligraphy. Another element of the installation was rows of books sealed tight and with the phrase "See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil," on their covers, alluding to Censorship within the arts. Also, part of the work was a bookcase randomly stacked with books fond to be controversial or drawing public complaints. Together these elements created a dialogue around language and how public and private opinion often categorizes based on content. --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 03, Item 241) [Title, Date].

Untitled: Detail Of Gold Leaf And Graffiti
title Untitled: Detail Of Gold Leaf And Graffitidescription Architecture and City Planning Centro Escolar Agua Caliente (Tijuana, Mexico) Scottish artist Anya Gallacio created two installations for inSITE94, one untitled piece located at Centro Escolar Agua Caliente, the other titled "Preserve: Maya/Preservación: maya" at the downtown location of the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego. Gallacio was drawn to the site of Agua Caliente because of its history: it was built in 1929 as a resort and casino for the rich who came there to escape and play. Having been abandoned for many years, the pool was showing signs of decay with missing tiles, cracks, and broken elements. Gallacio chose to cover these exposed areas with gold foil, referencing and revealing a sense of the pool's gilded past. At MCASD, Gallacio worked with the theme of natural transformation. The artist chose a space viewable from both inside the Museum and from the bookstore, and layered red gerbera daisies between two panes of glass to create a botanical stained glass that was inserted as a window space. Over the course of the exhibition the flowers decomposed, fading to grey and revealing their own life cycle. --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 309, Folder 04, Item 126) [Title, Date].

Just yards from the border fence, one could take a ride on this circular track where a single wagon with five fir trees planted in empty oil drums went around in endless circles to a dizzying effect. However, rather than being transported around on the track itself there was just a single seat at the hub of the circle and the view from the seat was directed straight at the fir trees, so that although movement occurred the outlook one had remained the same. -- inSITE94 [Title, Date].

Yanagi's work "America" had been installed previously in variations at different institutions around the world. For this installation the artist chose to include thirty-six flags of each country of the Americas in his elaborate ant farm. Over the course of the exhibition the ants created tunnels through the various flags and the colored sand that was used was gradually mixed, thereby creating new symbols. -- inSITE94 Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego 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 418) [Title, Date].

Sails Project
title Sails Projectdescription After a visit to California, Cuban artist Jose Bedia proposed to address the subject of cultural mythology and modes of transportation in his installation "Sails Project/Proyecto de velas para navegar." Covering the entrance façade of the Santa Fe Depot in downtown San Diego with large yellow sails displaying silhouettes of mythological figures, Bedia's piece explored issues of Colonization and the subjugation and preservation of culture. Incorporating the names of Native American tribes and John Henry, it touched on California's past and in turn brought about a consideration of the confluence of cultures between Mexico and the US. - inSITE94 Architecture and City Planning Santa Fe Depot (San Diego, Calif.)

"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.
