‘The Rules of the Game’/ ‘Las reglas del juego’ was a project in two parts: the first consisted of the installation of a frontón court in Colonia Libertad, Tijuana, positioned adjacent to the border fence; the second was a sports event that took place in the gymnasium of the Lázaro Cárdenas high school in Tijuana on October 13, 2000. The event was based on a new game designed by the artist working together with high school basketball coaches in the US and high school soccer coaches in Mexico. In the end, the Mexican soccer teams and the US basketball teams played against one another on the same court at the same time. As such, the work operated as a metaphor for the reality of life in the border region—where two entirely different systems of government, politics, economy, and civil society are forced, for better or worse, to co-exist and operate in the same physical territory.
