Greetings from Tijuana is a solo exhibition by Georgina Treviño that marks a return to her hometown of Tijuana, Mexico, where the artist was born and raised until the age of thirteen. Framed through the lens of the postcard, this exhibition transports viewers to the iconic border city, and pays tribute to the generation that came of age there during the 1990’s and 2000’s, as well as to its iconic landmarks and legendary hangouts of the city. Filtered through Treviño’s background in jewelry and material experimentation, this exhibition serves as both an homage and reinvention of the curios shops commonly found in the city. Embracing the tension between fine art, artisanal craft, and kitsch, Treviño blurs the boundaries between materials, aesthetics, and perceived value—mirroring the ambiguous nature of life on the border. Greetings from Tijuana features site-specific installations and new jewelry works that use material investigations of adornment as conceptual and physical sites of personal history and cultural identity, transforming traditionally intimate, personalized jewelry into public monuments and spaces of collective memory, where reflections on place and identity remain fluid with time.
