Civic Project Dialogues and Questions / Proyecto Cívico: Diálogos e Interrogantes
A Collateral Event Organized by Bill Kelley Jr.
December 5-6, 2008
Friday, Dec 5 at 6PM
Saturday, Dec 6 at 5PM
The Tijuana Cultural Center (CECUT) is located at the corner of Paseo de los Heroes Avenue and Javier Mina Street, in the Rio Zone, Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico
The Civic Project Dialogues and Questions shares the interests of the exhibition after which it is named. It is envisioned as an attempt to rethink museum public programming and engage the audience in new and more meaningful ways. The exhibition, Civic Project, is an investigation into the state of political, civic, and social exceptions that scandalously govern daily life in Tijuana, but whose symptoms are increasingly observable in all contemporary nations. These exceptions have, as theorist Giorgio Agamben argues, brought the very concept of citizenship into question. Civic Project is an exhibition of international and regional artists organized for the inauguration of the CUBO, the Centro Cultural de Tijuana's (CECUT) new exhibition venue.

An Exhibition to Reflect

The Tijuana Cultural Center (CECUT) is located at the corner of Paseo de los Heroes Avenue and Javier Mina Street, in the Rio Zone, Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico.
Civic Project / Proyecto Cívico investigates the reconfiguration of the notions of civic responsibility and citizenship under political and social conditions defined by exception to the rule of law. The exhibition departs from the recent attention paid to the city as central theoretical model and site of study and turns the focus towards those who inhabit the city, to all citizens and potential citizens.

MOON_ MAHLER _TIJUANA
August-October 2007
Lui Velazquez | Calle José Maria Larroque #273, 2do Piso, Int. 6, Colonia Federal, Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico
A moon can be seen in the Tijuana sky. It has spinning faces. They turn clockwise, following the choreography people use to track time. Pretending to be o mother, this moon makes concessions the cosmos would never indulge. It makes believe that human gestures and hints and not the inhospitable engine are the ones impelling our hours and minutes.
