Last Saturday March 9th I had the honor to attend "Tijuana Alley Art" a journey of photographer/ writer Jill Marie Holslin through the artistic jungle that is Tijuana, Mexico. The show featured her photos along with works from Tijuana Street Artist, Once Cero Dos, Panca, Spel Uno Hem, and many others that work was photographed throughout Tijuana. The show took place at VISUAL art Studio in San Diego. I was actually quite blown away by what VISUAL Owner Jason has going on, its an art supply store / gallery and he carries the best of the best products. Hats off Jason, your store is next level. Along with everything, there is street art in every corner of the store, I didn't have one dull moment. - Jose Cerda The show ends April 7th so there is still time to check it out, VISUAL 3524 Adams Ave. San Diego, CA. 92116 (619) 501-5585 With wheatpaste art & paintings by Tijuana artists: 1102, Panca, and Spel Teodora Craft beer by Francisco J. Garcia of Tijuana The concept of my exhibition is to explore—through my photos— “that which remains” in the alleys of Tijuana. Often, graffiti writers arrive at a spot to paint, they paint, and they leave, and they don’t come back again. “That which remains” can be the remembered image, the photograph, or a video of painting, or even the stories we tell and continue to tell. In this way, “that which remains” links space and time—the past, present and future of a space remains inscribed on the wall. The photograph participates in the history of these urban spaces, documenting these ephemeral expressions of everyday life. - Jill Marie Holslin |
