nSite_05 seeks to interweave situations of flux, mobility, and experiences of interconnectedness. It brings together a group of artists and curators who aspire to stimulate the gestation of new utopias of belonging and dynamics of creative association through artistic practices. inSite_05 will attempt to encourage art experiences in the public arena that explore and unravel the social weave of the San Diego-Tijuana region.
inSite_05began in 2003 and will unfold as four related components through the end of 2005. The Interventions component of inSite_05 was initiated in the fall of 2003 with a series of artists’ residencies that will continue throughout 2004. Conversations commenced with a three-day dialogue in November 2003 that included academics, artists, geographers, philosophers, and diverse practitioners. Within inSite_05′s two-year timeframe, there will be a concentrated phase of public presentation that will take place between August and November 2005.
Interventions/ Bypass/ Curator: Osvaldo Sanchez/ Since its inception, inSite has focused on commissioning artistic interventions in the social fabric of San Diego-Tijuana. Developing from a series of artists’ residencies, twenty-five artist’s projects will be inserted in the urban flows of the region. The residencies provide an experiential understanding of sites and social actors specific to the border region, facilitating strategies that permit the artists to activate new dynamics of collaboration.
Scenarios/ Online Project: Tijuana Calling/ Curator: Mark Tribe/ Live Visual and Sound Image Event: Ellipsis/ Curator: Hans Fjellestad/ Archive project: Insight_Transborder Archive/ Curator: Ute Meta Bauer/ Scenarios will support cultural practices that transcend the physical nature of ‘site’, but are nevertheless key to the construction of ‘public’ as a space of discourse.
Conversations/ Curator: Sally Yard/ Envisioned as an ongoing series of dialogues, workshops, lectures, and publications, Conversations will explore inSite’s potential as an arena for intellectual exchange and theoretical reflection.
Museum Exhibition/ FarSites/ Curator: Adriano Pedrosa/ Organized by the San Diego Museum of Art, the Centro Cultural Tijuana, and inSite, FarSites will weave together the work of contemporary artists, documentary material, and cultural products from five major cities in the Americas to produce a fabric of urban narratives.
