Teddy Cruz, Roberto Tejada, and Yvonne Venegas

Making Art in Tijuana

Friday, March 9, 2007 | 7:00 pm | Free Admission

Santa Monica Museum of Art | Bergamot Station G1 | 2525 Michigan Ave, Santa Monica, CA 90404

For some, the idea of "art" and "Tijuana" stops with a Velvet Elvis. For others, the city is a new hub of postmodernism. What is the real story of Tijuana's artistic tradition? What does it mean to make art in the US-Mexico border's biggest metropolis? UCSD art historian Roberto Tejada will lead a discussion with three innovative thinkers who relate to Tijuana and the border in very different ways: photographer Yvonne Venegas, architect and theorist Teddy Cruz, and Heriberto Yepez, author of Here is Tijuana!, poet, and professor of philosophy at the Autonomous University of Baja, California.

Teddy Cruz: Invigorated, awards show roars back in North Park ceremony

UNION-TRIBUNE ARCHITECTURE CRITIC

Teddy Cruz

Invigorated, awards show roars back in North Park ceremony

By Ann Jarmusch | November 20, 2006

The Orchids & Onions design awards returned with a flourish and zest Friday night, as searchlights swept city skies above the Birch North Park Theatre. A street party with a live band rocked a crowd of Orchids & Onions veterans and newcomers assembled for an entertaining, multimedia ceremony.

After lying fallow for three years, the 2006 crop of Orchids & Onions has returned with fresh vigor, depth and food for thought. This year's event delivered 14 Orchids and 12 Onions with a infectious one-two punch: humor, always a powerful agent for change, and peppy or pithy commentary.
