SUMMARY:Hostile Terrain 94 Toe Tag Completion workshops
DESCRIPTION:PUBLIC PROGRAM: Hostile Terrain 94 workshops  \nAugust 25-December 9\, 2025   \nMondays and Tuesdays\, 2:30-4:30pm  \n(EXCEPT September 22\, 23\, and 29\, and November 11\, 18\, 25\, and 26)  \nCAA-210  \nHostile Terrain 94 is a powerful participatory map installation and exhibition created by the Undocumented Migration Project (UMP)\, a non-profit research and arts-education collective. This exhibition seeks to humanize and bring visibility to the harsh realities of the U.S.–Mexico border\, where migrant deaths have occurred almost daily since 1994. In collaboration with UMP\, the Wignall Museum will mount an exhibition\, January 12 – March 14\, 2026. At the heart of the exhibition are handwritten toe tags\, each representing a person who lost their life while attempting the crossing. As participants complete the tags and view the accompanying maps\, photographs\, and personal artifacts\, they are invited to examine the human cost of border enforcement and reflect on the broader implications of current immigration policies.  \n  \nAbout Hostile Terrain 94 Toe Tag Completion Workshops  \nThe Hostile Terrain 94 exhibition (January 12 – March 14\, 2026) will feature a participatory map of the lives lost crossing the Sonoran Desert region of the US-Mexico border. Each person is represented by a toe tag\, placed on the location where their body was found. To reflect on border impacts worldwide and to honor lives lost to border policies\, the Wignall Museum is offering a series of free workshops to complete the toe tags in preparation for the installation. During the workshops (Fall 2025)\, participants will complete toe tags that will later be installed on the wall map. Time for discussion\, reflection\, and a grounding activity will conclude the workshop. This workshop directly connects with loss of life and violent realities of migration along U.S. border regions. The experience and content can be very powerful and personal. Please use your discretion to decide if this is an appropriate fit for your group. There are no graphic images\, but content does include references to death and violence. Participation is voluntary. No registration required\, but space is limited to 30 per workshop.

SUMMARY:For Race and Country: Buffalo Soldiers in California
DESCRIPTION:December 4\, 2025 – March 1\, 2026 \nThursday–Friday: 12:00 PM–4:00 PM \nSaturday–Sunday: 11:00 AM–5:00 PM \nHoliday Closures:\nDecember\, 25\, 2025\nJanuary 1\, 2025 \nFor Race and Country: Buffalo Soldiers in California is based on the California African American Museum exhibition of the same name\, curated by Susan D. Anderson. The exhibition’s title is derived from the inscription on a 1919 photographic portrait of Colonel Young\, “Yours for Race and Country.” This double loyalty\, to his people and his nation\, exemplifies the conflicts faced by African American soldiers during a time of government-imposed racial segregation. The exhibition also reveals the role played by Black soldiers in the Army’s history of violence against Native American people\, and it presents debates in the Black community over participation in imperialist wars. Today\, Buffalo Soldiers are mainly known through legend and popular culture. For Race and Country goes beyond simplistic portrayals\, providing a vehicle for the voices of the soldiers themselves. \nFor Race and Country: Buffalo Soldiers in California is based on the California African American Museum exhibition of the same name\, curated by Susan D. Anderson\, and tours through Exhibit Envoy. \nImage credit: Buffalo Soldiers patrolling Yosemite National Park\, 1899. \nU.S. National Service\, YOSE 77999.

SUMMARY:The Store of Sturtevant’s The Store of Claes Oldenburg
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition\, consisting of clay paintings\, ceramics\, and soft sculptures\, began as an idea during Reniel Del Rosario’s undergraduate career at UC Berkeley. He was introduced early on to the work of Elaine Sturtevant\, who became an inspiration for him in his clay-based art practice. It was through Sturtevant that Del Rosario learned about Oldenburg’s The Store\, an iconic work in Pop Art history. Using plaster as his medium\, Oldenburg mimicked consumer goods as mundane as cigarettes\, undergarments and blueberry pie. Sturtevant’s version also used plaster\, whereas Del Rosario’s presentation focuses on clay as the primary medium\, along with some soft textile-based sculptures (which mimic original Oldenburg and Sturtevant soft sculptures). \n\nAfter years of thinking that originality was the key to making anything ‘good\,’ it amazed me that copying the already-existent did something that an original could not: critically play with its history and value. Sturtevant’s project had copied as much of Oldenburg’s as possible\, from the medium\, to the appropriated subjects\, to the installation. It almost echoed a duplication; however\, it did not. That was the most memorable part of her rendition—it was wrong many\, many times. The colors were off\, the sizes were wrong\, key works or components were missing\, works that were never part of Oldenburg’s The Store were incorrectly added\, and many works had abnormalities that the originals did not. Comparing them to the original Oldenburg’s\, I experienced moments with each work spotting the differences\, drawing me in closer with each mistake\, intentional or not. The appropriation was just the vehicle Sturtevant had used to make a point about privilege in the art world and who amongst her circle got recognition. It was that usage of the already existent to make a critique that made me acknowledge how appropriating\, or ‘bootlegging’ as I like to refer to it\, is less like duplicating and more akin to layering—adding a new cover\, but still holding the original history\, reference\, and value underneath.  – Reniel Del Rosario \n\nImitations have been part of Del Rosario’s life. He was born and raised in the Philippines where bootlegs of consumer products are abundant in the country’s public markets. As a child raised in the Bay Area\, he was exposed to bootlegs and knock-offs in the city’s flea markets. Fraudulent goods persist in every corner of our consumerist society\, from high fashion to everyday goods. These derivative\, often poorly crafted copies\, are perceived as symbols of unoriginality\, poverty\, and piracy. In a world full of riffs\, borrowing\, and theft\, ‘being first’ is a virtuosic goal. In this work\, Del Rosario ponders whether these goals of originality are in fact virtuosic or even realistically achievable in our media and image saturated world. By copying a copy\, Del Rosario’s intention is not to simply prove that he can accurately mimic a work. Rather\, he is interested in observing whether the original has changed in physical and/or perceptual ways through his imitations. Oldenburg’s The Store and Sturtevant’s The Store of Claes Oldenburg are decades old projects that have aged and changed in public perception. Their complete documentations are dispersed in private archives\, often difficult to search and to pull as complete exhibition records as the works now live across multiple collections and institutions. Both bodies of work have transformed despite the artists never touching them again. Del Rosario’s bootlegs comment on the fact that their original counterparts were made by well-established artists within a friendly circle of heavyweight artist friends and art dealers. His versions are not replacements for Sturtevant or Oldenburg’s works—they are the contemporary alternatives for the criticisms they once presented. \nOldenburg’s The Store and Sturtevant’s The Store of Claes Oldenburg will be on view in the Igal & Diane Silber Vault Gallery at AMOCA from January 17–May 17\, 2026.
