MAQUILAPOLIS: CITY OF FACTORIES
This lecture/film screening depicts globalization through the eyes of the women who live on its leading edge. The factory workers who appear in the film have been involved in every stage of production, from planning to shooting, from scripting to outreach. This film takes place in Tj along the border regions of Mexico.
Everything was fine in this movie except for the sub-titles...

Iana Quesnell is from the southern states and is currently in the Masters Program at UCSD. Iana’s current work is about temporary living situations, specificity of place, as well as, navigation through the spaces she occupies and intends to occupy. Whether that be a military tent in Bosnia, her car, a studio on the border in Tijuana, or the Omni Hotel (for a week for this project), each incorporates architectural floor plans and schematic rendering with more experiential and ephemeral details. A viewer is initially pulled in to the work by its beautiful draftsmanship and the surprise of its scale but it’s the conceptual underpinnings that seal the deal. She’s quite literally drafting her life and this odd combination of technical drawing and autobiography yields an unexpected and original narrative. Iana Quesnell engages drawing as a mediating tool between her own body and her immediate surroundings. Often painfully honest these exceptional, large scale drawings take into account her every move with excruciating detail.

Eolo Perfido Photography
Eolo Perfido states that "photography arrived quite late in his life, but fortunately passions are timeless," so at 28 he took a camera in his hands and without knowing that after a while his desire would be to keep it there forever. To take pictures has become something that goes beyond the simple realization of images and has deeply changed his way of experiencing life and relating to others.
In the current years he has worked for several international agencies, customers and magazines such as Pepsi Cola, The New York Times, Vision, Vogue Russia, Gatorade, Novartis, Corbis, GQ Russia to name some of them.
He was born in Cognac (France) in February 1972, and he lives in Rome and works all over the world.

Kenny Sanchez Photography
Kenny is a good friend of mine and his photography just sticks out to me in the same way his photos pop out to viewers like you and I. I have known Kenny now for five years and it was just recently that his works have been selling. He uses a lot of the same style in every one of his photos and he tells me that when someone looks at his photos he wants them to know that it is a Sanchez photo...THREEFOURMEDIA
