Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art For inSITE97 Rubén Ortiz Torres collaborated with Salvador "Chava" Munoz to construct "Alien Toy UCO (Unidentified Cruising Object)/La ranfla cosmica ORNI (Objeto rodante no identificado)," a lowrider car that was converted into a dancing hydraulics wonder in the form of a Border Patrol vehicle. Chava, a world champion in radical bed dancing, reworked each section of the car to move and spin on its own set of hydraulics and arms. Ortiz Torres produced a film with alien imagery and clips of the car in action to accompany the installation. Ortiz Torres stated that the car was a product of cultural migration and exchange, a visual manifestation of the cultural hybridization in Southern California. --inSITE97 Http://www.track16.com/exhibitions/ruben/ruben.html 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 260) [Title, Date].

The Great Balboa Park Landfill Exposition Of 1997: Sculptures Made From Adobe And Hay
title The Great Balboa Park Landfill Exposition Of 1997: Sculptures Made From 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 426) [Title, Date].

No Title: Detail
title No Title: Detaildescription Installed in the basement of the Children's Museum in downtown San Diego, Quisqueya Henriquez's inSITE97 piece presented the viewer with an ordered, anti-labyrinth experience. Constructed from cardboard-covered wooden poles, the grid was built scaled to the human body to give a greater sensory impact as the viewer navigated the room. The experience was an attempt to balance the order of the grid with a sense of chaos derived from viewers' inability to easily decipher the intention of the installation. --inSITE97 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 05, Item 145) [Title, Date].

The images were set to music and projected onto the wall of a dilapidated room in the ReinCarnation Project in downtown San Diego.

Blue Students
title Blue Studentsdescription Casa de la Cultura de Tijuana Liz Magor's inSITE97 project was an experiment in Photography that involved portraits of students from both the School of Creative and Performing Arts in San Diego and the Preparatoria Federal Lazaro Cardenas in Tijuana. For "Blue Students/Alumnos en Azul," Magor took portraits of numerous senior students and created various format negatives. She pressed the negatives with paper covered in iron salts that converted each into a positive blue image under exposure to Daylight. Magor placed the negatives throughout San Diego and Tijuana, and allowed the various states of light to produce the final pictures. By the end of the exhibition, only a few images had not been completely obscured by effects of the Daylight. Magor stated that the final images in their various stages of legibility represented the power of circumstance and chance that governs the path of people's lives. --inSITE97 Photographs San Diego (Calif.)

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].

Photographs
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 210) [Title, Date].

Hurlbut designed cast-plaster Greek columns covered in coiling serpents, and column bases holding pairs of skeletal feet. Referencing symbols of victimization and bloodshed from Mexican and Greek history and mythology, Hurlbut wished to use architecture to examine the development of civilization and territories around the border. --inSITE97 This image is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 309, Folder 06, Item 160) [Title, Date].

Death Perra
title Death Perradescription Casa de la Cultura de Tijuana Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art For inSITE97, Miguel Calderon created a short film spoofing satanic practices near the San Diego-Tijuana border, incorporating stereotypical UFO paraphernalia and imagery to emphasize the "cheesy" nature of both subjects. The film, "Death Perra," was shown on a small television at the Casa de la Cultural de Tijuana. Produced in the style of a music video, Calderon used satanic UFO records as the sound track, mixing scenes of his friends playing records on turntables with scenes of artificial UFOs in different locations. --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 02, Item 056) [Title, Date].

Minicity: General View
title Minicity: General Viewdescription For inSITE97's Community Engagement Program, Amanda Farber developed "miniCITY/miniCIUDAD," an ongoing project constructed by children visiting the San Diego Children's Museum. The miniature city was pieced together from cardboard, scrap materials, and other miscellaneous craft items gathered and donated from various local stores. The open-ended structure of the project allowed children to create their own image of a city based on their personal experiences and imagination. Farber commented that she wanted the piece to focus on the children's ideas and perceptions, not a reflection of her own opinions and preconceptions. The resulting conglomeration of buildings, parks, and spaces of "miniCITY/miniCIUDAD" became a representation not only of the children's individuality and diversity, but also the diversity within the border region of San Diego and Tijuana. --inSITE97 Paintings 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 04, Item 117) [Title, Date].

Popotla - The Wall Popotla - El Muro: Documentary Video
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].

International Waters: Detail Of Pipe Penetrating The Border Fence
title International Waters: Detail Of Pipe Penetrating The Border Fencedescription Architecture and City Planning Border Field State Park, San Diego, California, United States For inSITE97 San Diego artist Louis Hock constructed "International Waters/Aguas internacionales" at the Border Field State Park/Playas de Tijuana section of the border fence. Using water pumped from a well several miles northeast of the site, Hock built a double-sided drinking fountain with one head on each side of the border. People bending to drink from the heads could see each other through a hole cut in the metal fence. During the exhibition, US government authorities suddenly decided to replace the opaque metal fence with a chain link fence. "International Waters/Aguas internacionales" used the valuable resource, potable water, as an example of the flow and exchange that occurs along the border, despite the barriers and questions of ownership that try to hinder it. --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 309, Folder 06, Item 146) Tijuana, Playas de, Baja California Norte, Mexico [Title, Date].

title Podría Haber Muchos Más Que Éstos: General Viewdescription Installed in the Children's Museum in downtown San Diego, Anna Maria Maiolino's work was a mass collection of clay coils placed in random piles around the room. Using similar forms and processes from her previous work, "There Could Be Many More Than These/Podria haber muchos mas que estos" focused on the gesture and repetition used to create the clay coils. Molded over the course of several weeks, the number of coils was finite, but the infinite nature of the gesture creating them made the installation an act of chance. --inSITE97 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 310, Folder 02, Item 222) [Title, Date].

Family Trees
title Family Treesdescription Centro Cultural Tijuana Drawings and Watercolors Ernest Silva's inSITE97 Community Engagement project, "Family Trees/Arboles de familias," was a collaboration with artist Alberto Caro-Limón that linked the Children's Museum in San Diego to the Centro Cultural in Tijuana. Each site allowed children to write their own family stories and draw family portraits. Both installations were brightly colored and filled with images of houses, trees, birds, and birdhouses to symbolize the exchange of memories and stories from one museum to the other. The space at the Children's Museum was a Rain House that functioned as a studio, reading room, and exhibition space for the children's family projects. At the Centro, the space contained children-sized houses, benches and work spaces, and painted wood-picket fences and trees. The projects created at each installation then traveled to the other to be exhibited to complete the exchange of stories and perspectives. --inSITE97 Paintings 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 310, Folder 05, Item 334) [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.)

A spoof on a tourist information agency, the installation included, among other elements, large photographs of the region, postcards with commonly found imagery from the local landscape and city, and a tourist guidebook listing on the back the various hot spots in the city. The installation was a commentary on the massive tourism industry in San Diego and Tijuana and the loss of borders when dealing with consumers and their material desires. --inSITE97 San Diego (Calif.)

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].

title Awasinake (On The Other Side): General View Of Theatre Facade And Marqueedescription Casino Theatre, San Diego (Calif.) For inSITE97, Rebecca Belmore created a large-scale photographic work installed on the abandoned marquee of the historic Casino Theatre in downtown San Diego. "Awasinake (on the Other Side)/Awasinake (en el otro lado)" was based on the ritual of waiting to cross the border from Mexico to the US. Belmore wanted the photographs of indigenous women waiting at the border fence in Tijuana to reflect the mood of the dilapidated Casino Theatre itself, waiting to be reclaimed and refurbished by the city. The size and elongated format of the portraits evoked the feel of an epic narrative unfolding before the viewer. --inSITE97 Photographs 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 02, Item 042) [Title, Date].

Drops: Gigantic Concrete Dice Installed At The Santa Fe Depot In San Diego
title Drops: Gigantic Concrete Dice Installed At The Santa Fe Depot In San Diegodescription For Iran do Espírito Santo's inSITE97 project, "Drops," twenty concrete dice were scattered among sites in San Diego and Tijuana, ten in each city. The "Drops," situated in public places, could be seen or even sat upon by a number of passersby, but only chance could allow visitors to see more than one die and understand that they were viewing an artwork. Espírito Santo explained that the installation dealt with paradoxes on different levels. The entire installation could not be perceived at any one moment, and the oversized dice did not function as the objects they represented. By the end of the exhibition, many of the dice had been removed or damaged, their fate left to chance. A few dice remain in their original locations. --inSITE97 Santa Fe Depot (San Diego, Calif.)

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 Norte, 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 295) [Title, Date].

Each site allowed children to write their own family stories and draw family portraits. Both installations were brightly colored and filled with images of houses, trees, birds, and birdhouses to symbolize the exchange of memories and stories from one museum to the other. The space at the Children's Museum was a Rain House that functioned as a studio, reading room, and exhibition space for the children's family projects. At the Centro, the space contained children-sized houses, benches and work spaces, and painted wood-picket fences and trees. The projects created at each installation then traveled to the other to be exhibited to complete the exchange of stories and perspectives. --inSITE97 Paintings 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 310, Folder 05, Item 335) [Title, Date].

His project, The Loop, took him from his starting point at the border fence in Tijuana, to the same point on the border fence in San Diego. Stopping in places such as Australia, China, and Canada, Alys documented the trip through email, journal entries, photographs, and mementos found along the way. Alys stated that his project was an investigation of the verbal, visual, and bicultural, and was to remain independent from any critical implications and conclusions beyond the physical displacement of the artist. This documentation, as well as a series of postcards created by the artist during his travels, was displayed at the CECUT during the public phase of inSITE97. --inSITE97 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 023) [Title, Date].

Popotla - The Wall: Assemblage Of Found Objects In The Form Of A Cowboy
title Popotla - The Wall: Assemblage Of Found Objects In The Form Of A Cowboydescription For their InSITE97 Community Engagement project, artist collective RevolucionArte (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 Norte, 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 296) [Title, Date].

Sonic Zoo: Noise, Sound, And Rhythm On The Border Between Two Worlds
title Sonic Zoo: Noise, Sound, And Rhythm On The Border Between Two Worldsdescription Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art From artist statement: " 'Sonic Zoo: Noise, Sound, and Rhythm on the Border Between Two Worlds' comprises thirteen Sound installations (Art) on a compact disc; these encompass the core of the project. Sonic armatures lasting between three and five minutes each, illustrated with eloquent photographs in color and in black and white. The CD also includes, in booklet form, a bilingual introduction to the project. There is a 'Zooful' of noises and sounds that are revealed every day and every night. They range from the simple inhalation and exhalation of the urban core to the guttural song of machinery and other beasts. Overarching the pervasive physical differences between Tijuana and San Diego, there is a ringing fountainhead of sound that rises above the barriers of language to give life its rhythm."

La Tierra Prometida: Detail Of Column With Neon Sculpture
title La Tierra Prometida: Detail Of Column With Neon Sculpturedescription Decorative Arts, Utilitarian Objects and Interior Design Gonzalo Díaz's inSITE97 project, La tierra prometida/The Promised Land, was installed in the basement of the Children's Museum in San Diego. Following the fourteen Stations of the Cross, the installation was built upon fourteen columns each distinguished by a word with multiple meanings spelled out in blue neon. Each column was also marked by an illuminated bronze Roman numeral as well as enigmatic figure at the top of the column, shrouded in dark wrappings. Playing off of the large orthogonal space, Díaz created a mythological/spiritual space for the viewer. --inSITE97 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 04, Item 098) [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].

Family Trees: Benches, Tables And Murals Of Trees And Birds
title Family Trees: Benches, Tables And Murals Of Trees And Birdsdescription Centro Cultural Tijuana Drawings and Watercolors Ernest Silva's inSITE97 Community Engagement project, "Family Trees/Arboles de familias," was a collaboration with artist Alberto Caro-Limón that linked the Children's Museum in San Diego to the Centro Cultural in Tijuana. Each site allowed children to write their own family stories and draw family portraits. Both installations were brightly colored and filled with images of houses, trees, birds, and birdhouses to symbolize the exchange of memories and stories from one museum to the other. The space at the Children's Museum was a Rain House that functioned as a studio, reading room, and exhibition space for the children's family projects. At the Centro, the space contained children-sized houses, benches and work spaces, and painted wood-picket fences and trees. The projects created at each installation then traveled to the other to be exhibited to complete the exchange of stories and perspectives. --inSITE97 Paintings 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 310, Folder 05, Item 336) [Title, Date].
