Occupy Thirdspace II: Plástica y palabra en TJ/SD explores the relationship between the visual arts and palabra (word). It documents the history of this relationship from the late 1980s to the present, through the work of artists who have lived and worked in Tijuana and San Diego. Palabra as a concept speaks back to the oppressive function of "Language," as a tool for colonization, assimilation, and exclusion - repurposing, translating, and changing it. Plástica y Palabra represents a collective force of impulses that cross geopolitical, racial, lingual, social, and economic borders. These practices live, give new life, and assign new meaning to their environment. Ocupa Tercer Espacio II: Plástica y palabra en TJ/SD explora la relación entre las artes visuales y palabra.

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.
