Julia Barbosa Landois (MFA '07) newest installation will be featured in the Border Art Biennial – Bienal Fronteriza de Arte 2010 at the El Paso Museum of Art. Her piece, entitled Tracks, uses a repeating image of altered "tire tracks" printed on the floor and walls, signaling the aftermath of violence.
The Border Art Biennial – Bienal Fronteriza de Arte 2010 is an exhibition that examines and highlights the often under represented, but vital art and artists from the states of the US/Mexico border. Artists from the states of Arizona, Baja California Norte, Baja California Sur, California, Chihuahua, Coahuila, New Mexico, Nuevo Leon, Sonora, Tamaulipas, and Texas were encourage to apply, of which 43 were selected. This exhibition is a collaborative effort between the El Paso Museum of Art, Museo de Arte INBA de Ciudad Juarez, Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes, CONACULTA-INBA, the Mexican Consulate in El Paso, Texas, and the American Consulate in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua. 2010 Jurors are Rita Gonzalez, Assistant Curator in the Department of Contemporary Art at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and Itala Schmelz, Director at the Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil in Mexico City.
