The Binational Arts Project inSITE2000 Presents New Projects By Artists of the Americas In the San Diego / Tijuana Region October 2000 through February 2001.

Works - ranging from new media and installation to performance, spectacle, film and video - can best been experienced during four "Exploration Weekends."

SAN DIEGO/TIJUANA - The fourth edition of inSITE, a contemporary arts project organized jointly by institutions in the United States and Mexico, will open Oct. 13, 2000, and run through Feb. 25, 2001, at various sites in San Diego and Tijuana. Approximately 30 new works by 34 artists from throughout the Americas will debut at various times during 19 weeks of public programming. Projects will range from new media and installation to performance and spectacle, film and video.

"The heart of inSITE is the process of realizing new projects by artists from throughout the Americas in the course of sustained residencies in the binational region," said Michael Krichman, inSITE2000 executive director/US. "Many of the artists have enlisted the active participation of the public in the development of their projects," he said. As in other versions of inSITE, projects will be dispersed throughout the region in unexpected venues in San Diego and Tijuana, the most heavily trafficked border region in the world. Most works will be accessible free of charge.

In contrast to other versions of inSITE, which concentrated almost exclusively on installation and site-specific art, inSITE2000 will present a significant number of projects that are based on events, video and spectacle.

To enable the public to fully experience inSITE2000, the organizers have arranged four weekends of focused activity, called "Exploration Weekends." Each weekend will be punctuated by organized expeditions to selected project sites, the presentation of events and performances, and various public programs. Exploration Weekends, which commence with Friday events, are scheduled for Oct.13-15, Nov. 17-19, Jan. 19-21 and Feb. 23-25. During the Exploration Weekends, the public has the choice of joining an organized expedition for a fee or arranging their own transportation.

In addition to the Exploration Weekends, inSITE2000 will be accompanied by a barrage of special events, including symposia, lectures, performances and a film and video series. As details are confirmed, information on the exhibition and special events will be available online at www.insite2000.org. A free schedule of events, slated for publication in September, will be available by calling the inSITE office at (619) 544-1482. inSITE2000 is organized through a collaboration of more than 25 nonprofit and public cultural arts institutions in Mexico and the United States. It is coordinated by the nonprofit Installation Gallery of San Diego and the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes (CONACULTA-INBA), Mexico's foremost fine arts institution.

Artists were selected by inSITE2000's multi-national curatorial team, consisting of Ivo Mesquita, a Brazilian curator who worked on inSITE97 and is director of the next Sao Paulo Bienal; Susan Buck-Morss, a professor in the government department at Cornell University and writer specializing in political philosophy and urbanism; Osvaldo Sanchez, director of the Carrillo Gil Museum in Mexico City, and Sally Yard, a writer and professor of art history at the University of San Diego, who has held key positions in each version of inSITE.
