A temporary wall between the cliffs and tracks could be built. But will it work to keep passenger trains running?

Exhibition dates: Mar. 1 through Apr. 7, 2022 Opening reception: Thursday, Mar. 3, from 4-7 p.m. Mesa College Art Gallery, FA 103 Free Parking in Lot # 1 for reception. Park in STUDENT spaces ONLY. From the gallery: Ben Allanoff and Anna Stump’s two-person exhibition delves into the contradictions of the Mojave Desert, a militarized training ground but also a place notable for incredibly tenacious forms of life. Stump’s paintings and Allanoff’s assemblages transform discarded and found materials into haunting artworks. The works represent an ironic juxtaposition: an ecology where a huge military enterprise focused on training people to kill, coexists with diverse life-forms that for millions of years have evolved, adapted, and persisted with mind-boggling creativity and determination. The exhibition renders visible often overlooked aspects of violence, conquest and resilience in the desert. The exhibition will also include a lecture by San Diego filmmaker Evan Apodaca who through interactive works and documentary video explores the ways that the military shaped and exploited San Diego.
