Pero tampoco esta es la finica frontera posible， inSITE97<br >convoc6 a m~is de cincuenta artistas de once paises del<br >continente. Todos ellos compartieron entre siy la comu-<br >nidad sus modos de ver， de pensar la experiencia de la<br >frontera. Todos nuestros paises， hoy como nunca， viven<br >muy de cerca el fen6meno de la frontera como resultado<br >de la globalizaci6n. De un extremo a otro de Am6rica<br >hay y habr~i mercados de libre comercio， movimientos<br >de capital， relaciones， compromisos que representan<br >riesgos y oportunidades. Las fronteras， se decia， separa-<br >ban y unian; ahora se dice que las fronteras se est~n des-<br >dibujando. La verdad es que la frontera， como concepto，<br >ha venido extendi6ndose， ensanchfindose; ha venido<br >constituy6ndose， ella misma， en una nueva realidad cul-<br >tural， inSITE， des& un principio adopt6 el prop6sito de<br >generar ese conocimiento en una regi6n pot demfis<br >vigorosa y prometedora del continente.<br >inSITE is an avenue for disseminating culture and<br >the arts. In this it is not unique; it is neither the first nor<br >the only such channel to appear along this border that<br >marks the end， and also the beginning， of two nations，<br >two cultures， inSITE expresses and imagines this region<br >at the same time that it is itself the product of the<br >expressions and imaginings of those who make their<br >lives here. Authentically binational， inSITE cannot be<br >described as either Mexican， American， or Chicano.<br >Rather it is a product， and a producer， of the rich social<br >encounter that is the Tijuana-San Diego community.<br >Nor is inSITE s identification with public art arbitrary.<br >inSITE s component elements tend to take place in<br >open spaces， to form part of the hustle and bustle of<br >daily life. In this sense， the most appropriate arena for<br >artistic expression may be the one that is created by<br >people in motion.<br >This border is not the only frontier， inSITE97 brought<br >together over fifty artists from eleven countries of the<br >Americas， who shared with one another and with the<br >community their vision， perception， and experience of<br >the border. Today as never before， all countries are expe-<br >riencing the reality of life on the edge of a frontier--one<br >result of the process of globalization. From one end of<br >the Americas to the other， there are freely moving flows<br >of trade and investment capital， social networks， mutu-<br >al commitments that present risks and opportunities.<br >Borders， the saying goes， both separate and unite. Yet<br >the saying needs to be amended， since borders are grad-<br >ually being erased， even as the concept of border broad-<br >ens in meaning in the face of a new cultural reality.<br >From the start， inSITE has operated in this edgy terrain，<br >in a region that is one of the most vigorous and promis-<br >ing on the continent.<br >
