    DECEMBER 2018–MARCH 2019 EXHIBITIONS DOWNTOWN BEING HERE WITH YOU/ ESTANDO AQUÍ CONTIGO: 42 ARTISTS FROM SAN DIEGO AND TIJUANA ON VIEW THROUGH FEBRUARY 3, 2019 Being Here with You/ Estando aquí contigo brings together work by 42 artists and collectives living and working in San Diego and Tijuana. Presenting over 100 works by early career and established artists working in a wide range of mediums, the exhibition highlights distinctive practices shaping conversations and communities in our binational region and beyond. Being Here with You/ Estando aquí contigo borrows its title from the song “Angel Baby” by Rosie and the Originals, a teenage band from National City, California. Included on the soundtrack for the Border Trolley Tours organized by Cog•nate Collective and Kate Clark in the summer of 2017, the bilingual song points to the region’s rich history of homegrown talent. The “42” artists of the title harkens back to MCASD’s 1985 survey, A San Diego Exhibition: Forty-Two Emerging Artists. Since that time, the Museum has broadened the focus of its collection and exhibition program to include the work of Tijuana artists. Being Here with You/ Estando aquí contigo reflects MCASD’s mandate to serve the binational constituency of the San Diego/ Tijuana region and affirms its commitment to artists on both sides of the border. The exhibition recognizes that San Diego and Tijuana’s artistic communities are distinct, shaped by dissimilar contexts and circumstances, yet it points to growing artistic exchanges between the two cities and aims to foster greater reciprocity. , 2015/2017. The words “being here with you/ estando aquí contigo” may also evoke the spirit and format of the exhibition itself, which brings different kinds of artworks into proximity, opening up points of connection and alliance.
