For those of us who live far from its realities, ERRE brings to MASS MoCA a palpable image of the border wall with the installation of Of Fence , a sculptural recreation of the weathered metal barricade that the artist knows well.
This formidable architectural obstruction is — and has been for a long time — a powerful physical and psychological fact in Tijuana, where houses, restaurants, and beaches butt up against the imposing barrier.
At MASS MoCA, the rusty-red metal fence will stretch across feet of the museum, marking the entry to a gallery where a selection of new and existing works by the artist will be on view. Perhaps his best known work, created in for InSite, an international art festival that takes place in both Tijuana and San Diego, is a foot-tall wooden horse with two heads. Referencing the Trojan horse of Greek mythology, the monumental, hollow structure on wheels was placed at the marker that defines the geographical border line.
With its two heads sharing a single body, but facing in opposite directions, the horse symbolizes the need to live in concert with each other. One might think of the Mexican-American War of which resulted in the U. The story of subterfuge might also bring to mind recent reports of undocumented immigrants entering the U.
Looking like a toy enlarged to giant proportions, the work seems to frame the border as part of a childish game, while simultaneously suggesting that we must teach our children history or it is doomed to repeat itself. Given the recent separations of children from their parents at the border, the toy-like appearance of the structure takes on added meaning. Arranging them on the floor in a position that mimics the yin-yang symbol, the artist continues to emphasize the symbiotic relationship between the U.
