ArtCenter College of Design has announced Conejo Negro: Tortilleria and Print Shop, an exhibition created with the Tijuana-based artist collective Torolab, the college said in a press release dated October 7, 2026. The show examines the dynamics of life across the political and physical boundaries of the U.S.-Mexico border, one of the most politically charged geographies in contemporary art. The exhibition goes on view at the Peter and Merle Mullin Gallery on ArtCenter's South Campus in Pasadena, opening October 10, 2026 and running through March 6, 2027. Combining the formats of a working tortilleria and a print shop, the project brings Torolab's research-driven approach to the borderlands into a gallery setting, continuing the collective's long-running interest in how everyday systems and infrastructures shape the quality of life in contested territory. Torolab was founded in Tijuana in 1995 by Raul Cardenas Osuna as an artist collective, workshop and laboratory for contextual studies. The group identifies situations and phenomena of interest, grounding its research in lived experience to probe ideas about quality of life. It has shown internationally at venues including MoMA in New York, the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, the Moderna Museet in Stockholm and the Havana Biennial, with work held in collections such as the Museum of Contemporary Art of San Diego and the Jumex collection in Mexico. The announcement places ArtCenter's exhibitions program in direct dialogue with the border region itself, using the school's Pasadena galleries as a platform for work rooted in Tijuana while the U.S.-Mexico frontier dominates political debate.
