SUMMARY:Here & There\, Then & Now: MexiCali Biennial 20th Anniversary Exhibition & Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:The MexiCali Biennial celebrates twenty years of artistic experimentation\, cross-border collaboration\, and cultural exchange with the exhibition Here & There\, Then & Now and the release of the landmark publication MexiCali Biennial: Art\, Actions\, Exchanges Since 2006. \nPresented at the MXCL BNL LAB in Whittier\, the exhibition reflects on two decades of binational programming that has shaped conversations around art\, identity\, migration\, and cultural production across the California–Mexico borderlands. \nLAB HoursSaturdays\, 12:00 PM – 5:00 PMor by appointment \n\nHere & There\, Then & Now brings together selected works\, archival documentation\, and reconstructed projects from past MexiCali Biennial programs. The exhibition offers visitors a rare opportunity to encounter the evolving history of the Biennial through artworks\, installations\, photographs\, and materials that trace the organization’s collaborative and experimental spirit. \nOver the past twenty years\, the MexiCali Biennial has worked with more than 150 artists across a wide range of media including installation\, video\, sculpture\, performance\, and socially engaged practices. Projects have unfolded in museums\, galleries\, public spaces\, private homes\, swap meets\, and community sites across the Californias\, emphasizing accessibility\, dialogue\, and the fluid exchange of ideas across borders. \nParticipating artists include: \nCarlos Beltrán Aréchiga\, Andrew Armstrong\, Pablo Castañeda & Eduardo Kintero\, Carmina Escobar\, Ed Gómez\, Fidel Hernandez\, Luis G.

Featuring scholarly essays\, artist–curator dialogues\, and extensive image galleries\, the book documents the evolving themes and artistic contributions that have defined the Biennial since its founding. \nMore than a catalogue\, the book serves as an archive of a transborder art movement and a record of the artists and communities who have shaped it. \nContributors include Amy Sara Carroll\, Amy Pederson Converse\, JV Decemirale\, Guillermo Estrada\, Alejandro Espinoza Galindo\, Maria Esther Fernandez\, Ed Gomez\, Luis G.
