Opis

Tijuana: so close and so far out. Named for a well-known record by the musical group Nortec, whose members are important promoters of the cultural and artistic movement in Tijuana, this exhibition catalogue covers the cutting-edge art scene surrounding the city. According to curators Priamo Lozada and Taiyana Pimentel, the show, at Madrid's ARCO 05, focused more on a -specific generational moment and space rather than a definitive interpretation of the region's cultural production.- Lozada and Pimentel explored the interaction between Tijuana and its neighboring cities, San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco, as well as the mutual influence among the disciplines, in particular between music and visual arts. For instance, San Diego's Hans Fjellestad's digital film Frontier Life traces the history of the border, and the Radio Global collective shows logos from the four Tijuana-based graphic designers who started the area's first Internet radio station.
