FABIOLA CARRANZA
UN MARIDO MEXICANO &#124; A MEXICAN HUSBAND

 This bilingual adaptation of Bertolt Brecht’s one-act play The Jewish Wife (1937) follows the events of a "husband’s" final night with his "wife" in Los Angeles before running for the Mexican border.&#38;nbsp;The Mexican Husband is an account of the ways in which exclusionary immigration policies play out. It asks questions about the state of humanity in an era of immigration enforcement, border walls, and enduring prejudice. 
Edited, designed, and published originally by Blanque Cheque Press in Canada, this is a second edition produced at Taller California keeping all the previous elements of the first book.

 Esta adaptación bilingüe de la obra de un acto de Bertolt Brecht, La mujer judía (1937), narra los sucesos de la última noche de un "marido" y su "esposa" en Los Ángeles antes de que él huya hacia la frontera. Un marido mexicano es un relato acerca del desarrollo de políticas migratorias excluyentes. Plantea preguntas sobre el estado de la humanidad durante esta era de control migratorio, muros fronterizos y prejuicios persistentes.
Originalmente editada, diseñada y publicada por Blanque Cheque Press en Canadá, esta es la segunda edición producida en Taller California manteniendo todos los elementos de la primera edición.&#38;nbsp;

INGRID HERNÁNDEZ &#38;amp; PIETER WISSENADA QUE DECLARAR &#124; NOTHING TO DECLARE
In this collaborative project, Mexican photographer Ingrid Hernández and Pieter Wisse&#38;nbsp;printed at Taller California twelve&#38;nbsp;Risograph posters that were distributed to drivers and pedestrians&#38;nbsp;in the San Ysidro port of entry in Tijuana. The&#38;nbsp;photographs that the artists used for the posters were&#38;nbsp;taken by people&#38;nbsp;who regularly&#38;nbsp;cross the Tijuana-San Diego border. In the resulting work, Ingrid and Pieter&#38;nbsp;played with certain elements (advertisements, slogans, commercial signs, phrases, social media of and about the border)&#38;nbsp;to create an effect both humorous and critical.&#38;nbsp;To see the posters and learn more about their project, click here.

Esta colaboración entre la fotógrafa mexicana Ingrid Hernández y Pieter Wisse consistió en 12 posters en Risograph,&#38;nbsp;impresos en Taller California, que fueron distribuidos en la línea (San Ysidro). Los artistas usaron fotografías&#38;nbsp;tomadas por personas que constantemente cruzan la frontera entre San Diego y Tijuana.&#38;nbsp;Ingrid y Pieter incorporaron&#38;nbsp;ciertos elementos característicos de la frontera (espectaculares, eslóganes, anuncios, frases) para crear&#38;nbsp;un efecto humorístico y crítico.

ARCHITECTURAL PROTOTYPE FOR AN UPCOMING DISASTER 
PROTOTIPO ARQUITECTÓNICO PARA&#38;nbsp;UN DESASTRE INMINENTE
Para la exposición No Longer Extant, curada por Melinda Guillén en UCSD, Adela Goldbard realizó&#38;nbsp;una escultura a escala de una casa prototípica&#38;nbsp;de&#38;nbsp;zonas de bajos recursos en México. Los ladrillos y la casa se realizaron de manera artesanal y colaborativa en Cerro Azul, una pequeña comunidad de ladrilleros en Baja California, México. La casa cruzó la frontera y fue instalada en&#38;nbsp;San Diego, California. Como parte de la exposición, la artista imprimió en Taller California cuatro&#38;nbsp;posters en Risograph, a dos tintas, con fotografías que tomó durante el proceso. Para ver la casa, visita la página de Adela.

 For the exhibition No Longer Extant,&#38;nbsp;curated by Melinda Guillén and held at UCSD, Mexican artist Adela Goldbard showed&#38;nbsp;a scaled model of a two-story&#38;nbsp;house layout typically found in lower-class settlements&#38;nbsp;in México. The artisanal bricks and the sculpture were made collaboratively in&#38;nbsp;Cerro Azul, a small community of brick makers in Baja California, México. It was then moved across&#38;nbsp;the border&#38;nbsp;and &#38;nbsp;installed in San Diego, California. As part of the exhibition, Adela printed four two-ink Risograph posters&#38;nbsp;at Taller California&#38;nbsp;with photographs taken during construction. To see the house, visit Adela's webpage.

LA LIGA FANTASMA &#124; THE PHANTOM LEAGUE
Impresión risográfica sobre cartón negro a dos tintas,&#38;nbsp;realizada para la exposición&#38;nbsp;La liga fantasma&#38;nbsp;de Saúl Hernández Vargas. Esta impresión se distribuyó el día de la inauguración. La imagen muestra moldes de cera, realizados por el abuelo materno del artista, de piezas prehispánicas encontradas en la Tumba 7 de Monte Albán, Oaxaca. En palabras de Saúl, artista y escritor, "el archivo de&#38;nbsp;La liga fantasma&#38;nbsp;es una serie de 'esculturas'&#38;nbsp;(de barro) que intenta resucitar objetos que se creían muertos. Todos ellos, frágiles, diminutos, fabricados con cera [...]"&#38;nbsp; Visita la página de Saúl para saber más del proyecto y de su obra. 
Two-ink Risograph print on black card stock, produced for the opening of The Phantom League, an exhibition by the Oaxacan artist Saúl Hernández Vargas. The image seen in the print shows lost wax casting molds---made by the artist's maternal grandfather---of pieces of jewelry found in the Tumba 7 at&#38;nbsp;Monte Albán, Oaxaca. In the artist's words,&#38;nbsp;"La liga fantasma’s&#38;nbsp;archive includes a series of clay 'sculptures',&#38;nbsp;and its purpose is to resuscitate objects thought to be dead. All these objects are fragile, minuscule, made of wax..."&#38;nbsp;To learn more about the project and see more of his&#38;nbsp;work, visit Saúl's webpage.

INSURGENT ARCHIVES FROM THE SECRET CITYEVAN APODACA︎︎︎NEW RELEASE︎$45 USD

︎ Add to Cart

*Finally available online!This artist book traces San Diego's antiwar movement within the military from 1969 to 1972 through a collection of photographs, periodicals, and publications. Drawing on eight years of research and interviews with elder activists, Apodaca pairs these long-forgotten archival treasures with his own written interpretations. In doing so, the artist reframes this movement as a strategy for anti-imperialist organizing, offering a provocative template for the present.


Este libro reúne una colección poco circulada de fotografías y publicaciones periódicas que documentan el movimiento antibélico de San Diego dentro del ámbito militar, desde 1969 hasta 1972. Respaldado por ocho años de investigación y por entrevistas con activistas veteranos, Apodaca acompaña estas imágenes de archivo, por mucho tiempo olvidadas, con textos de su autoría que contextualizan estos materiales. El rescate que Apodaca hace de este movimiento es en sí una estrategia de organización antiimperialista, creando un modelo urgente para la actualidad.
