About

Pavilion

“46 Renacimientos” is an art project that tells the story of the COCOTREN phenomena taking place at the Coastal Corridor of Tijuana Rosarito and Ensenada, in Baja California, where 46 large-scale buildings where abandoned halfway through construction in 2008 due to the financial recession. 46 Renacimientos is a multi-piece project of forty-six textural paintings in black and white, using paper, wood, plastic, gesso, and ink; each representing a corresponding building on the COCOTREN. These will be presented during a Day of the Dead ceremony on Saturday November 2nd, 2024 in San Ysidro, California. This lecture is an opportunity to present the project and preview samples of the artworks prior to the one-day event in November.
