You Can'T Get There From Here
title You Can'T Get There From Heredescription Centro Cultural de la Raza (San Diego, Calif.) Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) The collaborative contribution to inSITE94 by San Diego artists Mario Lara and Barbara Sexton, "You Can't Get There from Here/No puedes ir allá desde aquí," was located at the Centro Cultural de la Raza in San Diego. Consisting of two main elements, the installation dealt with the relationship between trophies of achievement and the individual self-image that often dispels the very essence of what is publicly recognized. The artists created numerous plaques and trophies that were displayed salon style on the walls of the space, while the other central element, a billboard prop, outwardly proclaimed the word PARADISO. - inSITE94 This image is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 310, Folder 01, Item 200) [Title, Date].

Apacheta
title Apachetadescription Centro Cultural de la Raza (San Diego, Calif.) Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art San Diego-based Argentinian artist Graciela Ovejero created an installation for inSITE94 at the Centro Cultural de la Raza entitled "Apacheta." Drawing on Ovejero's personal heritage, the installation focused on the myth of Pachamama, or Mother Earth as it still exists in the belief of natives from the northern part of Argentina. One way that Pachamama is honored is by the construction of stone mounds called apachetas. For her installation the artist built a technological apacheta out of TV monitors, situated on a floor of soil and showing a video diptych, each video respectively titled "The Journey" and "Aspects and Manifestations." The videos were in response to the artist's relationship to the earth and how her cultural background has informed that relationship. --inSITE94 Sculpture and Installations Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This image is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 310, Folder 03, Item 263) [Title, Date].
