Visitors to CECUT’s El Cubo can drive into Tijuana or park at San Ysidro and walk, take Mexicoach buses, or use taxi services just steps across the US-Mexico Border. Tickets for the public to each exhibit cost only 20-pesos (around US$2.00) each, although this Sunday, September 28 th, a special rate of only 25-pesos for both (approximately US$2.50) will apply. The inaugural press event for El Cubo will take place at 5:00pm, on Saturday, September 27 th, at the Tijuana Cultural Center (CECUT). Looking critically at the second-largest city on the Pacific Coast of North America, these artists help raise Tijuana’s issues in ways that will resonate in individuals, cities, and nations throughout the globe. Exhibitions include video, video installations, sculpture, painting, drawing and works in textile employing parody, simulation, appropriation and direct action. Fourteen major sculptures, and a myriad of ceramics, porcelain, textiles and silk paintings, introduce visitors to Guanyin – a venerated figure in Chinese Buddhism, and the “Goddess of Mercy and Compassion” – while also providing historic insights into Buddhism and China.Īppearing at the same time, the Tijuana Civic Project features the multimedia works of 18 international and regional artists from Tijuana, Mexico City, Israel, Belgium and the United States, critically addressing Tijuana’s political, social and civic challenges and crises. This show – seen only in Mexico City and Monterrey previously – reflects a unique collaboration between two leading Chinese institutions (the China Capital Museum and the Ping Zhou Museum), and Mexico’s National Council of Culture and Arts, and INAH (Mexico’s Institute of Anthropology and History). The El Cubo expansion and new exhibition space will allow CECUT to continue our showcasing of international masterpieces, arts and cultural works for the public on both sides of our dynamic and multicultural border community.”Īn impressive example of El Cubo’s international potential can be seen in the gathering of more than 150 specially-selected pieces for the China-Mexico exhibition of Buddha Guanyin Treasures of Compassion.
As Teresa Vicencio, Director of CECUT, explains, “Our Center has already become one of the leading art and cultural institutions for visitors from not just Mexico, but from throughout Southern California. After its three-year, US$9 million construction, El Cubo offers three showrooms designed to international quality standards for lighting, security, and environmental controls.
