La Casa Del Tunel Tijuana opens another excellent show
October 15, 2009
“The Candy Store” (La dulcería): Dispensing Truth
October 13, 2009
An installation created by Artist/Collaborators, Debby and Larry Kline
For La Casa Del Túnel: Art Center, a new cultural center in Tijuana that formerly housed a smuggling tunnel.
Exhibition opening on Saturday, October 24, 2009 at 7PM (PST)
Refreshments and music at “la terraza cafeEcoverde”
Round table Discussion Saturday, November 7, 4:00 PM. (The discussion will include the artists, a pharmacist, a physician and an advocate for medical marijuana)
Smuggling or snuggling? Anything goes in “The Candy Store” (La dulcería):, an installation that simultaneously attracts and repels viewers, exposes the inherent conflicts in the international healthcare industry, and the legalities and illegalities in the world of pharmaceuticals The Candy Store is a retail space that houses “inconsumable products” made out of controlled substances (e.g. tobacco Teddy bears and Vioxx ceramic candies) adding meaningful visual spectacle and humor to the dialogue surrounding healthcare issues and bridging boundaries between art, science, sociology and activism. It continues what Warhol began by blurring the lines between art and commodity and builds on the notion of Claes Oldenburg’s store (1961) with the addition of a socially conscious message that can effect political change.
The pharmaceutical/health care industry system in America is dysfunctional. While large segments of the population go without access, the privileged are over-medicated, sometimes relying on pharmaceuticals as treatment for conditions once held as normal variations in personality and temperament. Those without medical access must seek alternative methods, crossing the borders of Mexico or Canada in search of affordable drugs. Many on fixed incomes must choose between life-saving medications or food, shelter and clothing.
Americans are led to believe that pharmaceuticals in the US are superior to those made in neighboring countries. The unfortunate truth is that the US has removed many medicines from the market that were supposedly tested for safety and efficacy.
“The Candy Store” (La dulcería): addresses this trend toward self-medication by allowing consumers to purchase inconsumable objects (talismans or placebos) made of their medications of choice. As viewers become participants, each draws on their own experiences in the quest to remain healthy and productive. Viewers will also identify with the quick fix society, the irony of talismans made of ceramic and medicine, placebos as metaphors and tobacco toys designed to entice young patrons. Many of the medicinal ingredients are based on the artists’ own experiences. Larry was prescribed two medications which were released for consumption and later found to be unsafe and sadly, Debby’s brother died from abusing prescribed drugs that were easily available and purchased through the internet. The addiction occurred as a result of his back surgery and pain medicine that was initially ordered for him by his physician. Unfortunately, these family tragedies are reflective of larger societal ills. Consider school children medicated to conform to acceptable standards who will likely find it difficult to cope without drugs/medication later in life.
The venue at La Casa Del Túnel: Art Center is an apropos location considering the hordes of US citizens who cross the border to save money on less expensive prescription medications. The added facet of a drug-smuggling tunnel transformed into a cultural venue transformed into a drug store makes the project even more significant, meaningful, timely and edgy.
Saturday, November 7, 4:00 PM. A roundtable discussion will address the questions raised by the exhibition. The discussion will include the artists, a pharmacist, a physician and an advocate for medical marijuana. The discussion is free and open to all members of the bi-national community.

La Casa Del Tunel presents LA SERIE: CINE FRONTERA TIEMPO Y CULTURA
September 29, 2009
”CUATRO CINEASTAS CAMINAN EN LA REVOLUCION CUBANA”
1964-2006
Curada por Saskia Wilson Brown
En Cuba a pesar de los giros de un tiempo de tumulto, trauma, alegría y gran conmoción para los habitantes del país, puede afirmarse sin embargo que uno de los efectos brillantes de la revolución fue la producción de lo que hoy conocemos como la era dorada de cine cubano. No pueden subestimarse los efectos que un gran cambio social hace en el arte, y en Cuba, no hay excepción a esa regla, esta divergencia proporcionó un rico y complejo sujeto para observar, interpretar y escribir crónicas. Este programa de Films cubanos apunta para elucidar los talentos, opiniones y conclusiones dibujadas alrededor de ese evento catastrófico a través del ojo cinemático de algunos de los más grandes cuentistas del país: sus directores de cine.
1. Soy Cuba, Director. Mihail Kalatozov, una coproducción ruso-cubana, 1964, 141 minutos.
Jueves septiembre 24, 2009 8:00 PM
Esta importantísima película fue filmada en 1964 durante el auge de la revolución de Fidel Castro. Un juego de Cuatro viñetas hermosamente hechas en la Cuba previa a la insurgencia que dramatiza la necesidad por la insurrección, idealizando al trabajador campesino explotado y a los fervorosos revolucionarios de Castro.
2. Lucia, Director. Humberto Solás, 1969, 106 minutos.
Jueves Octubre 1, 2009 8:00 PM
Lucía expresa la inherente actitud positiva de Solás sobre el futuro post-Batista, el director Pinta los cambios progresivos en Cuba por más de medio siglo, la película está partida en tres episodios distintos, contando la historia de tres mujeres diferentes llamadas Lucia, la primera parte se protagoniza a finales del siglo XIX, la otra después en los años sesentas y al final en el futuro.
3. Memorias del Subdesarrollo, Director. Thomás Gutiérrez Alea, ICAIC, 1968, 95 minutos.
Jueves Octubre 8, 2009 8:00 PM
Sergio, un burgués adinerado y aspirante a escritor, decide quedarse en Cuba aunque su esposa y amigos huyen a Miami. Sergio examina los cambios entre el tiempo del éxito de la revolución y la crisis de los proyectiles; el efecto de vivir en un país subdesarrollado y sus relaciones con sus novias Elena y Hanna.
4. Habana: Arte Nuevo de Hacer Ruinas, Director. Florián Borschmeyer, 2006, 86 minutos.
Jueves Octubre 15, 2009 8:00 PM
Famosa por el encanto mórbido de sus fachadas con quebradizas hojuelas de pintura, la belleza de La Habana queda plasmada en la poesía de sus ruinas, sin embargo esto es menos para las personas que las habitan. Las casas frecuentemente se derrumban, causando fatalidades y el decaimiento urbano de la ciudad, es una fuente incesante de peligro y vergüenza para sus residentes. Un retrato de las ruinas habitadas, este film captura los últimos momentos de estos edificios antes de ser renovados o antes de su derrumbe total.

LA CASA DEL TUNEL: ART CENTER PRESENTS
THE SERIES: “CINE FRONTERA TIEMPO Y CULTURA”
”FOUR FILMAKERS WALK INTO A REVOLUTION”
1964-2006
Cureted by Saskia Wilson Brown
Though at turns a time of turmoil, trauma, joy and great upheaval for the country’s inhabitants, it can however be affirmed that the revolution had one brilliant effect: Ushering in what is known as the golden era of Cuban cinema. The effects of great change on art cannot be understated, and in Cuba, no exception to that rule, it provided a rich and complex subject to observe, interpret and chronicle. This film program aims to elucidate the talents, opinions and conclusions drawn around this cataclysmic event through the unique cinematic eye of some of the country’s greatest storytellers: its filmmakers.
1. Soy Cuba, Dir. Mihail Kalatozov, Russian-Cuban coproduction, 1964, 141 min
Thursday September 24, 2009 8:00 PM
This landmark Cuban film was lensed in 1964 during the heyday of Fidel Castro’s revolution. Four beautifully made vignettes set in pre-Castro Cuba dramatize the need for insurrection, idealizing hardworking but exploited peasants and Castro’s staunch, freedom-loving revolutionaries.
2. Lucia, Dir. Humberto Solás, 1969, 106 min
Thursday October 1, 2009 8:00 PM
Lucía expressed Solas’ his inherent positivity, looking to a post-Batista future . Depicting progressive changes in Cuba over more than half a century, the film is broken into three distinct episodes – telling the story of three different women called Lucia, one in the late 19th century, one in the 60’s, and one in the future.
3. Memorias del Subdesarrollo, Dir. Tomás Gutiérrez Alea , ICAIC, 1968, 95 min
Thursday October 8, 2009 8:00 PM
Sergio, a wealthy bourgeois aspiring writer, decides to stay in Cuba even though his wife and friends flee to Miami. Sergio looks back over the changes in Cuba from the Castro revolution to the Cuban missile crisis, the effect of living in an underdeveloped country, and his relations with his girlfriends Elena and Hanna.
4. Habana: Arte Nuevo de Hacer Ruinas, Dir. Florian Borschmeyer, 2006, 86 min.
Thursday October 15, 2009 8:00 PM
Famous for the morbid charm of its flaking facades, Havana’s beauty lies in the poetry of its ruins. They are far less poetic, however, for the people who inhabit them. Houses frequently collapse causing fatalities and the decay of the city is a continual source of both danger and shame for its residents. A portrait of the inhabited ruins, the film captures the final moments of these buildings before they’re renovated – or simply collapse altogether.
