Would you like to participate in an artistic experience? (SNA/TJ Edition): Cogâ•nate Collective with Juan Villavicencia, initiated by Ricardo Basbaum – August 1 from 7-10PM @ Grand Central Art Center

PARTICIPATORY OPPORTUNITY
August 1 from 7-10PM

PARTICIPATORY OPPORTUNITY

A collaboration with binational publics to elucidate transborder imaginaries.

Would you like to participate in an artistic experience? is an international project initiated by Brazilian conceptual artist Ricardo Basbaum, that consists of an invitation to activate an object that is meant to â“reveal the desire and effort of the individual or group activating it.â”

Grand Central Art Center artists-in-residence Cogâ•nate Collective, in collaboration with Tijuana-based artist and professor Juan Villavicencia and publics in Tijuana and Santa Ana, have been invited to activate this object in the binational context of the US/Mexico border.

As part of the process, we invite individuals (like you) on both sides of the border to imagine how they would use the object in their day-to-day life. Responses will be collected and illustrated by artists + students to represent similarities and disjunctures in public imaginaries on either side of the border, while envisioning the utilitarian value for a cultural object in the region.

If you would like to participate in this artistic experience, join Cogâ•nate at Grand Central Art Center on August 1 and share your ideas!
