This sculptural, audio-visual installation replicates a section of the US/Mexico International Border Wall composed of a faux concrete base containing hidden speakers and two projectors. The installation presents a looping 13-min audio of two violinists, one Mexican and one American with the border wall dividing them while they play the same original musical score, the music notes of which can be seen projected on the grey poles of the sculpture. This piece illustrates that the language of music unites and transcends political borders and cultural divides. Opening on Sunday, April 28th from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. with a reception from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. For more information visit: enaartgroup.com or contact Salina Arredondo at admin@enaartgroup.com or call 858-454-1231 Stay Connected on Facebook and Instagram
