The aircraft Boeing 77 -functions as a test space for aeronautical engineer students- became an exhibition space in which five artists from San Diego, Los Angeles, Tijuana and Mexico City participated. Ander Azpiri, Aren Skalman, Chris Warr, Rizzhel Mae Javier and Griselda Rosas.

The objective of this project was to present a set of site specific works outside the traditional circuits of exhibition by recon-textualizing art created outside the specificity of white boxes, as occurs in museums or galleries by building a playful link of reinterpretation between the viewer and the art.
