Description
Sculpture and Installations Artists Nanette Yannuzzi Macias and Melissa Smedley collaborated on a two-part installation for inSITE94 at El Sotano (an abandoned mop factory) in Tijuana and the San Diego Natural History Museum. Entitled "Animal Vegetable Mineral: Comidas para los sombreros," the artists explained the installations as explorations of the rituals of communication. At El Sotano, the work consisted of a multitude of materials from a cotton loom, gourds, candles, and buckets, to a deerskin, bird cage, and eucalyptus tree stump, suggesting, according to the artists, a laboratory space that referenced the machine and ritual. The installation at the Natural History Museum acted as a response to this magical machine and incorporated video elements situating the materials in dialogues that suggested not yet considered relationships. --inSITE94 Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This image is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 310, Folder 06, Item 357) [Title, Date].
