AIPAD Photography Show 2019 April 4 - 7, 2019
DeLIMITations is in NYC exhibiting at AIPAD Booth 1010 and at Rick Wester Fine Art on West 26th Street.
Marcos RamĂrez ERRE and David Taylor will be speaking about the project in conversation with Rebecca Senf, Chief Curator of the Center for Creative Photography, on Friday, April 5 at 12:30PM.
Two artists — one Mexican, one American — piled into a white Sprinter van stuffed with camping gear, photo equipment and art supplies for a 3,721-mile journey to mark the expanse of the U.S.-Mexico border.
An exhibition that marks a historical U.S.-Mexico border. Another that looks at the intersection of craft and fine art. And a gallery show that comes with its own rolling papers. Plus: A summer show inspired by L.A., elaborate cut-outs and a Tijuana zine fest. Here are eight shows and events to check out in the coming week:
Delimitations opens tonight at the MCA San Diego Downtown and makes the LA Times!
In an attempt to show how ephemeral borders really are, two artists have retraced the 1821 frontiers between Mexico and the U.S.
DELIMITATIONS gets some national press!
Two visual artists show how large parts of Wyoming, Oklahoma, Colorado and all of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Utah and Nevada used to be in Mexico.
Las fotos que no habia subido aun, de las mojoneras del ultimo estiron!

Monument 47 on the Gulf of Mexico as the last light faded. The obelisk is sitting on the ruin of a Coast Artillery gun emplacement. More photographs and posts soon. We were tired...
Coordinates and Waypoints
Perhaps all of the 47 monuments are where we placed them. We can't know. That was part of the plan. Borders move and change.
We have compiled all of our GPS locations into a Google Earth .kmz file that can be opened with Google Earth. Please explore remotely or use the coordinates to visit in person. Links below:
After installing the Google Earth app simply double click the .kmz file to open it. Alternately, it can be opened through the application File menu. The waypoints can be permanently saved by using the Save My Places command.
Our version of the 1821 border with monument locations (Map compiled from Google Earth).
Four maps depicting the border between Mexico and the United States over time. From top to bottom: Anthony Finley, 1826; William Lizars, 1828; Paulin & Le Chevalier, 1858; Johnson & Ward,1862.

We have little doubt that monument 30 will be in Dodge City for a long time.
Looking for the bad guy - he hasn’t found us yet...
At Dodge City, Kansas the Arkansas River is used up – diverted for irrigation and impounded behind dams. In that way it’s like the Colorado and the Rio Grande. Just a stream at Frémont Pass, it descends through the Rockies gathering volume and speed. When it reaches the edge of the Great Plains near Pueblo, Colorado it’s a good sized river, but it’s thirsty by La Junta and hasn’t made it to Dodge City in more than 40 years according to Mike Casey. He’s lived in Dodge City for most of his life and he knows the lay of the land. A builder and restauranteur, he’s hard working and not shy about sharing his opinion. We met him while having dinner at the steakhouse he owns. He sat down at our table and joined the conversation with such ease that we almost didn’t notice. Before the meal had ended he’d agreed to an interview, set us up with space for monument assembly behind his restaurant, and offered us a place to stay for the night. Founded in 1872 Dodge City is an emblematic frontier town - cowboys and cattle. Wyatt Earp was a Marshall from 1876 to1879 and the town earned a credible reputation for frequent gunfights. So much, that the TV series Gunsmoke (1955-75) - with Matt Dillon, Kitty and Festus - was set in Dodge. Taking frontier history back a few centuries, the conquistador Francisco Vásquez de Coronado crossed the Arkansas River just east of the the 100th meridian in 1541. Had Mexico’s 1821 profile endured, Dodge City would have been a border town. Today it’s home to 73,000 head of cattle (per week), industrial scale feed lots, slaughter houses and irrigated fields as far as the eye can see. The residents of Dodge City break down as follows: Hispanic - 57.2% , Anglo - 37.6%, Black - 2.2%, Asian - 1.5%, two or more ethnicities - 1.5%, American Indian - 0.10%.
While touring the town, Mike emphasized the need for people who immigrate to speak English. In his words, “people need to communicate to function as a team.” No fan of Obama, I thought he might be a bit of a nativist but it turns out he’s not. He’s pretty conservative but seems to live by the same rules he imposes. Most of Mike’s employees are Mexican. He even jokingly refers to them as “his” Mexicans. Sort of a cross between a patrón and a cowboy, he demands a lot but also seems to earn respect and loyalty. He works alongside his employees, some of whom have been at Casey’s Cowtown Club for better than a decade. A bit stumped by the language assertion that kept surfacing during our interview, I offered that I was working diligently to learn Spanish since I spend so much time in Mexico. Mike effortlessly responded he thought that was a good idea. His logic was: their country, their language, their rules. “Fair enough,” I thought. Forgiving some divergent assumptions about politics and world view, we made a friend. Dodge City has seen a lot of change and Mike Casey has adapted.

Along the Red River
Relatos a destiempo. El texto que les adeudo desde hace dĂas.
Terminó la celebración, despedimos la visita que nos acompañó. A los amigos, colegas,  conocidos de antaño y a las recientes sorpresas.
Enfilamos al edificio de SITE Santa Fe y recogimos el material, que previniendo, habĂamos traĂdo hace poco más de un mes, para montarlo en el camiĂłn una vez agotada la primera mitad del recorrido.Â
En esa primer tramo instalamos ya 25 mojoneras, ahora llevamos con nosotros material para 22 más.
Como a las cinco de la tarde salimos de Santa Fe hacia el norte por la interestatal 25, peinando el paisaje a una hora idĂłnea y disfrutándolo mucho,  ya que al arribo cuatro dĂas antes por la misma vĂa viajábamos de noche.
 En este retorno pasamos por varios pueblos, entre ellos las Vegas N.M. donde paramos a comer. HabĂa estado ahĂ Â alguna vez, que corta la memoria que me asiste, que recuerda la gente, más no recuerda ya los barrios de la primera visita.
Una vez alimentados, manejamos hasta Pueblo, Colorado, donde buscamos un parque para acampar. Después de dar varias vueltas ubicamos un lago alimentado por una afluente del Arkansas. Sacamos nuestros catres y bolsas de dormir y sin dar muchos rodeos nos concentramos en cerrar los ojos.
 Despertamos en un lugar hermoso , singular. Otra bella sorpresa!
Pero hoy es un nuevo dĂa, el rosario sigue y  hay que completar la ruta de 47 mojoneras.
Acabamos de montar la nĂşmero 26, es la primera de la segunda  parte del viaje  y quedĂł en un montĂculo con vista a la ciudad de Pueblo, Colorado,  justo por encima de  la Estacion del ferrocarril.  El punto donde se monto esta del lado pobre de la ciudad, donde vive la mayorĂa de la poblaciĂłn hispana,  en barrios arbolados y casas con presencia y cierto carácter,  pero que hace tiempo ya vivieron sus mejores dĂas.
Aquà empieza con mas fuerza a aparecer México,  a filtrarse por todos lados y sudar , o es quizá que supura? Como una herida vieja que se niega a cerrar.
Los paisajes son ya un poco mas similares a los del México conocido y los rostros morenos se dejan ver en este calor del diablo, que en unos minutos nos hará pagar el precio de marcar la tierra con pilones de metal.
Luego de instalarla enfilaremos al Este, rumbo a la pradera, hacia Kansas y sus millones de reses para el matadero, luego a Oklahoma y, finalmente, Texas.Â
 Seguiremos por buen tramo el rĂo Rojo y despuĂ©s, en un caluroso y hĂşmedo descenso, al rĂo  Sabina, hasta que este Ăşltimo inevitablemente llore sus aguas al llegar al mar.
