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].

The Tomb/Magical Ritual: General View
title The Tomb/Magical Ritual: General Viewdescription Alvaro Blancarte's project, "The Tomb/Magical Ritual/La tumba/ritual mágico," was located in the gardens of the Centro Cultural Tijuana. Erected amidst a formation of stones, the project was composed of towering and intersecting wooden beams fastened to each other with heavy rope from which a number of individual stones were hung, suggesting a calculated balancing act. Created as an homage to the region's ethnic populations, the project became a site for ritual performances by ethnic groups during the opening of inSITE94. - inSITE94 Centro Cultural Tijuana 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 02, Item 046) [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].
