Presented by Alum Jenny Donovan, Jeimy Marisol Martínez Galavíz and Alum Felipe Zúñiga

When: Thursday, August 7, 2008

Time: 7PM

Casa de la 9, Calle 9 (between 9 / Quintana Roo / Rio Pico) Zona Centro, Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico

Arquitexture proposes the realization of a collective of architectic and sonorous intervention in the city of Monterrey. The intention is to explore the interconnections that can take place within physical texts, spaces, sonorous corporalities and ambiances. With these intersections the notion of text and place expands to produce a weave in which different voices, tones and ambiances, which can be condensed in variable intensities that will be transmitted in the public space, using therefore the body like nomadic architectic support.

Fabian Cereijido, Yvonne Venegas, Nina Waisman and Alumni Raul Cardenas Ozuna and Sergio de la Torre

Civic Project / Proyecto Cívico
An Exhibition to Reflect
Curated by Lucía Sanromán y Ruth Estévez

September 25, 2008 through February 2009

Artists: Francis Alÿs (Belgium), Erik Beltrán (México), Guy Ben-Ner (Israel), Andrea Bowers (USA), Mircea Cantor (Rumania), Fabián Cereijido (Argentina), Sam Durant (USA), Sergio de la Torre (México), Bas Princen (Belgium), Javier Ramírez Limón (México), Daniel Ruanova (México), Yvonne Venegas (México), Shoja Azari (Iran), Gabriel Acevedo Velarde (Perú), Raúl Cárdenas (México), Daniel J. Martínez (USA), Marcos Ramírez ERRE (México) and Nina Waisman (USA).

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.

Current economic and political politics have brought the rights of citizens under question as the confluence of global migration, economic globalization, and the criminalization of everyday life shape international and national politics. More pressingly, the everyday conditions of communities and individuals are affected at an intimate and personal level resulting in a de-facto denial of personal political agency. This has created social environments constituted by exceptions, erasures, and evasions to civic structures. Exceptionality increasingly defines both national and international politics through widening of the powers of the state and corresponding diminishing of individual agency and citizen rights. Exceptions to the rule of law, however, also create vacuums that are increasingly appropriated by individuals and groups as spaces of renewed personal and communal possibility of social engagement and change.

Alumnus Danny Jauregui at the Acuna-Hansen Gallery: 'Better Late Than Never'

Danny Jauregui

Better Late Than Never (?)

April 26 - May 24, 2008

Acuna-Hansen Gallery, 427 Bernard St. in the Chinatown area of Los Angeles

Photographs of failed studio experiments and black on black paintings comprise the core of the anxiety provoking images in 'Better Late Than Never (?)', Danny Jauregui's second solo show at Acuna-Hansen Gallery. Oscillating between the language of representation and abstraction, and joining seemingly unrelated subject matter, Jauregui capitalizes on the anxiety created by the attempt to make connections between disparate parts. Teetering between awkwardness and invisibility, Jauregui makes apparent the social limitations of a studio-based practice and presents the viewer with a crisis of locality.

'Phantom Sightings' at LACMA

Los Angeles Times, By Christopher Knight, Times Art Critic, April 15, 2008

At the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the sprawling exhibition "Phantom Sightings: Art After the Chicano Movement," brings together a diverse and satisfying array of recent painting, sculpture, video, installation and mixed-media work. Sometimes the art is specific to questions of ethnic identity; often it's not. The exhibition was curated by Rita Gonzalez, a UCSD Visual Arts graduate, and included current UCSD Visual Arts faculty member Ruben Ortiz-Torres. More
