Walk down the promenade with a mural on the right and a row of official-looking teller windows on the left. Soon thereafter you'll come to a fork where you can keep going straight or turn right. Turn right, go through the second turnstile, and we'll be right there on the other side waiting for you.

08/14 Acamonchi vs. Surge, 6:00PM

Acamonchi Interview here: http://vimby.com/video/art/us/all/detail/3977/Acamonchi/ Surge Interview here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8MU_fROpjg Gerardo Yepiz launched the first Mexican Mail Art website in 1995, his downloadable stencils revolutionized how a generation of young artists, from Mexico City to Tijuana, used street installation and graffiti as a critical forum. Known as Acamonchi, a slang term for piggyback riding in northern Mexico, Yepiz adopted the strategies of street art as the starting point for his fine art while also distinguishing himself as a graphic designer working with clients on both sides of the border including the Nortec Collective, MTV, Reebok, Vans, Adidas, Pepsi, Warner records, Osiris shoes, Tribal Gear and Obey Giant. Like his moniker, which, he explains “doesn’t really mean anything, it’s just a dumb, silly sounding word,” he uses humor to create graphic works of art that probe serious political and cultural issues. As hedescribes it, “poster illustrations or stickers are common resources of visual communication; in the hands of Acamonchi, and in combination with graffiti tactics, they become veritable terrorist instruments, and the activity becomes a kind of cultural sabotage.” Acamonchi began his career in the mid-1980s as part of a cross-cultural underground scene in southern California and northern Mexico that was heavily influenced by fanzines and the skateboard-punk countercultures. Music developed his political awareness, and the history of Fluxus inspired his passion for Mail Art. His early work focused on images of the Mexican television host Raul Velasco and assassinated presidential candidate Luis Donaldo Colosio. According to Acamonchi, Velasco represents the mindless entertainment provided by the Mexican media. He describes Colosio-shot on live television in 1994, during a campaign rally in Tijuana -as the Mexican equivalent to John F. Kennedy. Colosio’s face is a poignant reminder of political corruption and Tijuana’s notorious outlaw reputation. Acamonchi makes his point, however, with ridiculous images of Colosio in a cosmonaut helmet, Colosio crossed with Colonel Sanders, and a “Blaxploitation” Colosio just to name a few. Recently, Acamonchi has focused his attention on painting. His densely layered panels and murals integrate his signature street graphics-posters, stencils, and graffiti -into abstract fileds of color. In this new work, Acamonchi experiments with painterly techniques using aerosol paint, ink pens, and more traditional pigments, Although his explorations are clearly inspired by street art, his distinctive visual statements are something new. “Post-graffiti Art,” as this kind of art was called when graffiti artists first began to show in galleries in the 1980s, does not encompass Acamonchi’s strong affiliation with street art radicalism, and articulate his serious painterly intent. Once again, Acamonchi is inspiring his colleagues as he explores new forms of expression. -Rachel Teagle Curator of the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego Sergio Hernandez was born and raised in San Diego California. His parents have deep roots in the city of Tijuana Mexico, so as a child he frequently visited the city. He was influenced by the hand painted advertisements around the city. His mother raised him as a Jehovah’s Witness which also had a big impact on his view of the world. He gave up his religious ways as a teenager and committed himself to the arts, which began as a graffiti writer. He has been involved in graffiti since his youth and has been held accountable for his actions buy the city of San Diego. In 2004 he received his bachelor's degree in Painting and Printmaking from San Diego State University. Sergio's paintings tell stories that he was told as a child, or that he experienced himself. His wife and three children inspired him to adopt a style that is playful and that could be appreciated by kids as well as adults. The characters in his work reflect the city and the people he has met throughout his life. He is also heavily involved in music, martial arts, and tattooing. Through painting he has had a chance to show his work in cities across the nation such as Baltimore, Atlanta, Miami, Dallas, Mexico City, and in countries as far away as Australia. He has created artwork for three solo shows as well as contributing to over 50 group shows.
