The Tierra y Libertad flags, by Grant Leuning and Pepe Rojo of the Comité Magonista Tierra y Libertad, were raised at La Mansana de Chinati in Marfa this summer.
The Comité Magonista has been conducting a new iteration of the flag’s trajectory, pursuing “pens/hacer,” an aesthetic and political method, a post-signifying intensification of artwork as a complex without origins, and an autonomously-generated repetition of (art)works not created, but provoked and converged into existence, reintroducing the flag to the 21st century borderzone.
With a community of hundreds of artists, activists, and academics, the Comité has produced several thousand flags, has paraded, marched, distributed blankets and food, seed-bombed the land, burnt the flag into the beach and produced festivals in Tijuana, Mexico City, Mexicali and San Diego. Through these provocations, the flag has circumscribed a world, distributing the labor of its enactment as a way of defining the modes of relation between flags, marches, events, and the Comité Magonista itself, that entity tasked with the human work of the flag’s instantiation and spread.
Please note Judd Foundation spaces in Marfa and New York will be closed until August 15 for summer closure.
