UC San Diego

In Diagrama de dependencia I have continued my exploration of cooperative and engaged production of art objects. As a thesis work it represents the culmination of my studies at UC San Diego, much of which has been focused on the U.S. border region with Mexico. This text serves to chronicle the many steps that led to a final installation of drawings and photographs, as well as to provide an important documentative structure paralleling the installation itself. The project as a whole contends with the increasingly public rhetoric of artistic production problematized by authorship and agency within cooperative settings.
