El Paso, Texas: Al Fresco Art Exhibit Makes Use of Outdoor Projectors

The Neighborhood Watch Collective held its second outdoor projection show at Mundy Park (500 Porfirio Diaz) in El Paso's Sunset Heights neighborhood, running from 6 to 9 p.m. on a Saturday. The group originated in Tampa, FL and was introduced to El Paso by former UTEP ceramics professor Jaime Carrejo, then adopted by Xochitl Rodriguez, a sculpture and metals student at UTEP.

Still shots of two-dimensional artworks were projected onto the sides of five homes centered on Mundy Park; three additional projectors displayed live performance pieces by area artists. Sculptures by UTEP students, including Elijah Fernandez, were placed in front of each house, and the UTEP metals department presented a runway walk featuring student jewelry. Entry was free; guests received a map of the featured houses on arrival.
