The new website for A Room of One’s Own is up. Check it out and RSVP for the 8 PM shuttle leaving from the Old Town Transit Center and arriving at the front door of Terra Sur by emailing adaptaproject@gmail.com.
Want to drive yourself? Here are the directions:
From the border, take the Tijuana-Ensenada Toll Road (look for detour signs), and stay on the highway for approximately 15 minutes heading west then south. The toll will cost you $26 pesos or $2.50 (USD). Pass by the signs for where the Donald Trump project will be located (at KM 16), keep driving straight ahead and at the next right curve (KM 17), you´ll see a Terra Sur Billboard. Drive a quarter mile more and you will see a small entrance to your right, take that dirt road exit and take a right onto the dirt road and you’ll see Terra Sur.
Click here for a map. And below is a map of the detour. It’s easy, I promise.

The full press release follows below, but here’s the breakdown: We want you to come to Tijuana to experience cutting-edge contemporary art you won’t see anywhere else. Forget about your fears. Forget about the rumors. Know that there’s a lot more than drug wars going on in Tijuana. Read this recent Union-Tribune piece and get a taste of what we’re talking about.
Then, on July 19, take a free shuttle from San Diego to Terra Sur, a gorgeous piece of oceanfront architecture outside of Playas, Tijuana. Walk through rooms filled with site-specific art by Tijuana, Mexico City, Estonia and Ensanada artists. Experience the city’s cultural side.
RSVP for the opening reception by emailing us at adaptaproject@gmail.com with Terra Sur in the subject line. The official show website is coming soon.
Here’s the official artist list:
A Room Of One’s Own opens July 19, 2008
Taking inspiration from Virginia Woolf’s 1929 essay which challenges that female writers, given equal opportunity, would be able to create work as important as those that have been historically admired and authored by men, Adapta Project has taken on the challenge of intimate spaces with A Room of One’s Own. The essay advocates for artists to be given proper resources—such as space and time—to create meaningful works of art. This group show is an opportunity for talented artists to create site-specific installations or show their work which grapples with the subjects of identity and ownership.
Terra Sur, an oceanfront development in Baja California designed by architects Rob Quigley, Guillermo Martinez de Castro, Andrew Spurlock, John Sheehan, Ricardo Rabines and Fernando Gonzales, has given Adapta Project the opportunity to show cutting-edge contemporary art at one of its oceanfront properties. Artists from San Diego, Tijuana and beyond will take over space within this domestic setting to author their own galley: expect new-media installations, paintings, photography, performance, video art and audio art that express the individuality and creative spirit of each artist.
Well here are the artists that have confirmed for the thread show April 13th… we are very exited…dont miss a collection of drawings by:
