Description
Sculpture and Installations
"The Rules of the Game/Las reglas del juego" was a project in two parts: the first part consisted of the installation of a frontón ball court in Colonia Libertad, Tijuana, positioned near to the border fence. The second part was a sports event at the Lazaro Cárdenas high school in Tijuana on October 13, 2000. The core element employed in "The Rules of the Game" consists of the recreational and sports infrastructure commonly found in the border zone that separates Mexico and the United States.
