On 23 May 2021, 6 pm, the first “Border Crossers” performance will be broadcasted live from Naco, Arizona / Naco Sonora.
This is the first in a series of “Border Crossers” performances organised in collaboration with the Stanlee and Gerald Rubin Center for the Visual Arts in El Paso. The Rubin Center will present a series of “Border Crossers” performances on the El Paso-Ciudad Juarez border in October 2021. A solo exhibition of drawings and other works by Chico MacMurtrie will open at the Rubin Center in El Paso on 16 September 2021.
One of these two, US-Mexico Border Fence Crossing Robotic Sculptures, was developed and made by students from the Art and Communicative Practice (kkp), Design, Architecture and Environment (dae), Digital Art, and Site-Specific Art departments in collaboration with artist Chico MacMurtrie as part of his 2018/19 residency and visiting professorship at the Angewandte. This is the first time the Border Crossers have been used on a border from both sides. There will be another performance on 16 September this year in the context of an exhibition by Chico MacMurtrie at the Rubin Center in El Paso at the border fence between El Paso and Ciudad Juarez.
