October 10-11, 2015
Postcommodity is an interdisciplinary indigenous art collective composed of artists Raven Chacon, Cristóbal Martínez, Kade L. Twist and Nathan Young. Hosted by ASU Art Museum, Postcommodity will be in Douglas October 9-12 presenting Repellent Fence, the largest bi-national land art installation ever exhibited at the US/Mexico border. The two-mile long sculpture will comprise twenty-six tethered “scare eye” balloons, ten feet in diameter, floating fifty feet above the border.
Video and performance artist Ana Teresa Fernández will visit Douglas as part of her residency with ASU Performance in the Borderlands. Born and raised in Tampico, Mexico, Fernández is best known for her conceptual work Borrando la Frontera, which used a trompe l’oeil effect to “erase” a section of fence along the Tijuana/San Diego border.
