Partition, an installation by New York based artist Christian Lopez Swafford. This work is a commentary on the physical, mental, and symbolic borders that exist between the US and Mexico. Placing this installation in a gallery, Swafford ignites a conversation in a context where people can vocalize their views, opinions and experiences about the US/Mexico border. The installation comprises a table, two benches, dishware and flatware, and wallpaper. All these elements call attention to the problems of borders, communication, exchange, interaction, participation, when the natural flow is obstructed. Press Release
