in Collaboration with Octavio Castellanos. 2004.

Intervention of a Red 1975 Chevy Malibu with 200 academic textbooks in its vast majority of courses taken at community colleges in San Diego Ca. The books were hidden in the door panels, in spaces between the engine and the body, in the spare tire and in the gasoline tank, packed in plastic emulating the packaging of the marijuana blocks. The car left from Colonia Libertad in Tijuana, crossed the border and arrived in La Jolla California for its eventual exhibition at the Marcuse Gallery at the University of California, San Diego.
