interview with

stefan falke

from the editor

elcome, to the second issue of UNIEKEST magazine! Last month's inaugerial issue was a tremendous success, we don't mind telling you.

As the first free-to-the-public publication to cover the cities of Los Angeles, San Diego, San Ysidro, Tijuana, Rosarito, Ensenada, and Mexicali, we stay committed to our mission to support and promote the culture, art, businesses, and diverse equality of our two beautiful national regions: Northern Mexico and Southern California. This we will never deviate from and remain committed to providing, rest assured.

Also, as promised, each issue we will continue to introduce and feature a new artist. Our October issue here is definitely no different. In fact, you simply do not want to miss our incisive interview with the innovative German photographer Stefan Falke and his unusual artistic project entitled, "La Frontera: Artists Along the US Mexican Border." Stefan Falke is one intriguing, talented artist who will be working along the U.S./Mexican border, and what he will be doing there you will find it stimulating and entertaining to read and learn.

Accuracy and honesty are very important to us here at UNIEKEST Magazine, so whenever necessary I will make occasion to correct any gaffes made in previous issues of our publication. As it is, we want to apologize to artist Irma Sofia Poeter who was featured in our inaugeral edition. We referred to her only as Irma Sofia. But she is Irma Sofia Poeter, and we do apologize for this error. Also, we said her work consisted of paintings and were embroidered by Oaxacan ladies. But in fact her work consists of transparencies impressions, which were created by the artist with paint and then embroidered. However, some of the pieces were embroidered by the artist, and others by Oaxacan artisans.

As always, we want to thank all the writers and artists who contribute to UNIEKEST Magazine. They have done a wonderful job with this our fall issue. Come join us in welcoming wonderful fall as you read our October issue here. We find October to be such a beautiful month and with so many exciting events and fun activities happening all over our beautifully leafcovered streets and cities. This month let us enjoy Fiestas del Sol in Mexicali, Entijuanarte and Expotequila in Tijuana, Falls for the Arts in San Diego, and last but not least those mainstays of autumnal celebration: Oktoberfest and Halloween. It's going to be a fabulous month. Let UNIEKEST Magazine be part of your fall fun and pleasure! co-publisher & editor in chief

Safety first in kids' Halloween costumes

Dressing up and engaging in role play is an important component of childhood learning and having fun. Although costumes are regularly used in day care centers, schools and at home, they become the center of attention when Halloween arrives.

The practice of wearing costumes dates back at least 2,000 years to ancient Europeans and Celts. These cultures celebrated a holiday called Samhain, which represented their new year. Samhain fell on November 1 and marked the first day of winter after the summer harvest. These ancient people associated the winter with coldness, darkness and death and believed the day before Samhain -- October 31 -- established a distorted boundary between the living and the dead. Therefore, individuals wore costumes and masks to avoid being recognized by the ghosts that came out on the night of Samhain. They would also place bowls of food outside of their homes to satisfy the ghosts and keep them from entering the home.

Although Halloween has transformed more into a commercial holiday than one associated with death and the after world in the literal sense, many adults and children continue to participate in the rituals that were set forth many years ago, most notably wearing costumes. Parents may want to ensure that the costumes their children wear are safe to help make Halloween a day without injury.

Create a cape that doesn't choke. A long cape can be stepped on and then tug at a child's neck. Instead, make a cape that has arm loops to keep it in place instead of a tie around the neck. This way there never will be a choking hazard.

Check makeup labeling. There are many safe Halloween cosmetics on the market, but some should not be used around the eyes or mouth because allergic reactions could occur. Double-check all ingredients lists and package warnings before using makeup on children, who tend to have more sensitive skin than adults. Also, it is a good idea to do a test patch of the product. Put a small dab of the makeup in the crook of the inside of the

6

uniekest magazine oct 2012

child's elbow. Wait 24 hours and see if any itching or a rash forms. This could indicate an allergy to the product.

Keep eyes open. Masks are popular components of Halloween costumes, but some designs can obstruct vision or even impair breathing. Masks always should be comfortable to wear and offer good forward and peripheral views.

Choose natural materials for costumes.

Buying a pre-made costume at the store may save you time and money, but there may be safer options if you construct a costume yourself. Many costumes are made overseas and may contain materials that are toxic or off-gas volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), particularly plastic and vinyl products. Breathing in the fumes can be dangerous to young children. By making the costume yourself, you can control what fabrics and other materials are used.

Go organic. There are a number of companies that are now making Halloween costumes from organic fabrics and recycled materials. A simple online search can give you a host of prospects for purchasing these costumes.

Make it visible. Trick-or-treating at night can be, well, tricky. Darkness can make it hard for drivers and other pedestrians to see costume-clad children. If going door-to-door will be happening at night, consider giving children glow sticks or flashlights to carry. There also are reflective tapes that can be attached to costumes that make them light up when lights shine on the tape.

Avoid choking hazards. Many costumes come with small detailing or accessories that may be hazardous to young children. Youngsters who do not yet know what items should and should not be put in their mouths should not wear costumes with removable or small detailing. Also, avoid the use of fake teeth (such as vampire fangs) and fake blood or goo capsules that are meant to be bitten, so they won't be swallowed.

Halloween is meant to be a time of fun and adventure. Ensuring costumes are safe for children can help make the day even more enjoyable for all involved.

Interview with

STEFAN FALKE

and his project

"LA FRONTERA: Artists along the US Mexican Border"

G

erman photographer, Stefan Falke, fell in love with the people of Tijuana the very first time he visited in 2008. As the news reports of that time had been speaking about the violence in the city, it was a surprise to find a vibrant, thriving art community.

Uniekest magazine interviewed Falke, who is planning to travel along the entire length of the border for his current project: "La Frontera - Artists Along the US Mexican Border."

Tessa Schlesinger: Can you tell our readers a little bit about yourself?

Stefan Falke: I started studying civil engineering in Germany but it wasn’t for me. I had my first camera at fourteen and that is what I wanted to do. So I became a photographer’s assistant. In 1984 I was visiting New York and fell in

8

uniekest magazine oct 2012

love with it. I still worked as an assistant, all the while growing as a photographer myself. In the mid 90s, my work was beginning to be noticed. When I returned to Germany, I began to work on feature movie productions as the stills photographer. This took me to many parts of the world. Meanwhile I was working on my first book Moko Jumbies, a photographic essay of the stilt walkers of Trinidad and Tobago. I am hoping that La Frontera will become a similar book which will tell the story of the vibrant cultural life of many towns on both sides along the Mexican-American border.

from other countries, and as a German who once lived with the Berlin wall as part of our culture, I wanted to see for myself what life at and behind the border looked like. I believed that there must be more than what we learn from the news.

Why did you choose to focus on the border towns between Mexico and America for your La Frontera Project?

There are only four countries that have built walls to separate them

I simply want to show that there is a vibrant cultural life along the border that is mostly overlooked by the international media.

And I loved the traits of the people I met in Tijuana, where I started, -

What were your first impressions of Tijuana when you visited in 2008?

I was hooked the very first time I saw it. It felt like one of the most interesting place in the world, and I have been all over the world.

What made you decide to do the La Frontera Project ?

text by tessa schlesinger / portrait Š neil beckermann / accross: ariana escudero

gracious, hospitable. I was invited to the La Casa Del Tunel - an art center - and I started taking photos of artists there. In March 2012, I was invited back to teach a four-day photography workshop and to show my work. All of this really connected me to the people of Tijuana and it made me want to do a project about the vibrancy and creativity in the border towns.

So what will be the full scope of your photographs?

It would be too large to photograph everything in the border towns, so I had to choose and I loved the work of the artists who also gave the images from "la frontera: artists along the us mexican border" by stefan falke

people a message through their art.

So it’s going to be mostly about artists. I also decided to photograph the fence at the border. Walls and fences never separate people’s minds, though, and I feel it is important to photograph this growing wall of steel as it stretches across America. I also have some humorous photos of dental tourism.

How do you feel about all the violence we hear of in the media?

All the talk in the US of violence in Tijuana seems exaggerated. It is a normal city - vibrant and alive.

Wonderful people. Great art. I am the type of person who when I read

about a place I must go there to find out, and so I did. I am very curious in that way. You hear all this talk, "Don't go there, it's dangerous" but people must go there to find out for themselves. I would recommend that everyone visit Tijuana and the border cities in Baja California.

How does the fact that you have traveled affect the way you see places and people?

I’ve been to many dangerous places – and lived in New York in the 80s and 90s - and, even so, you don’t see crime in front of you all day, and that’s the point. You miss all the rest because the media only focus on the

photography

I want to tell the stories of these artists... crime. When I first came to Tijuana, I didn’t see any danger and realized it was all in my head. I realized that very quickly, and I think that was the advantage of having traveled to so many dangerous places. It’s a very enjoyable place.

How many times have you been to Tijuana now?

I first came in 2008, then 2009, then again in March 2012, and I will be returning in October 2012. Tijuana has changed a lot in these last five years and it makes for wonderful photographs.

What is your favorite photograph?

It’s a photograph I took of Alfredo ‘Libre’ Gutierrez. I photographed him in front of one of his paintings in his studio in Tijuana in February 2009. I was introduced to him through Julio Orozco on my second visit to Tijuana. I like the photograph because it shows the two communicating, is a little bit mysterious and has a lot of atmosphere. It’s also very well balanced in color and shows my

images from "la frontera: artists along the us mexican border" by stefan falke

favorite element - humanity. Libre Gutierrez is a good artist, young and upcoming. He paints homeless Americans in Tijuana - telling their stories - real live issues. I want to tell the stories of these artists in the border towns with the walls separating them from America. It is perfect for what I am trying to show with my project. Often I don’t really know what I want until I find it in my own photographs. Usually the photograph finds me. All I do is bring my camera.

Is there an artist who speaks to you about the fence at the border?

Yes, the poet, Daniel Watman who is also a border activist. I have a photograph of him staring through the fence on the US side There used to be only one fence and people could speak to relatives on the other side. Now there are two high security fences with fifty yards in between so they can’t talk to each other anymore. I think the photo shows that - no connection.

be funded?

I have posted details of the project at www.indiegogo.com a fundraising website. I also received support from a German foundation. I’m hoping to raise enough money to cover the full three months needed to visit all the towns along the border. However, if I don’t collect sufficient money, then I will limit the number of border towns I go to.

It would be a pity. I want to do it all.

I think it is a story that deserves to be told.

Thank you for your time, Stefan, and we look forward to seeing more of your wonderful photographs, and we wish you luck with your La Frontera project as well as a very success fund-raising effort.

walking the art walk on the san diego bay art

ArtWalk on the Bay hosted emergent artists from the southern California area and beyond at its seventh annual outdoor festival of fine arts. This event ran for 2 days, Saturday and Sunday September 22 and 23rd from 10 am to 5 pm at the San Diego Hilton Bay front Waterfront Park, which was an absolutely stunning area for displaying the sculptures, many paintings, jewelry, and glass work on display. The Park is located at One Park Blvd in San Diego and both days could not have been better weather although Sunday was rather warm, but the breeze off the Bay made the shady areas of the park feel as fall was in the air.

This year’s event proved to be extraordinary with over 150 artists showcasing their latest work for display and sale up and down the park in different areas, some displaying their art for the first time.

ArtWalk on the Bay delivered a warm and friendly setting allowing the hundreds of art lovers of all types the opportunity to engage with the artists one-onone, to determine the inspiration behind their work.

A special event feature this year was, "Artes de Mexico" bringing culture-rich works of art created

by Mexico-based artists. A full listing of musical entertainment performed at, "ArtWalk on the Bay Café" with a host of gourmet food and drink choices only adding to the popularity of the year’s event area of the show.

ArtWalk on the Bay also provided entertaining and creative, free artistic events for families with the ever popular KidsWalk attractions. Attendees at KidsWalk had the occasion to relax at the waterfront’s grassy park while crafting one-of-a-kind art tasks that they were then able to take home. This event within an event, KidsWalk always offers an exciting time for the kids to make art projects such as painting, mosaics, woodcrafts, building a birdhouse and more hands-on experiences.

KidsWalk featured many participants this year

18

uniekest magazine oct 2012

making for an entertaining and energetic location for families. ArtWalk on the Bay coordinated a fun and exciting host of activities for this year's families to enjoy.

The KidsWalk official lineup included:

San Diego Creative Weavers Guild – demonstrating to all who stopped by the ancient artistry of weaving. By the use of various looms, they were able to spin all types of yarn as they demonstrated these looms for the art lovers as they passed by.

RhythmWorx – offered educational development for all with rhythm-based involvements. They performed drum circles throughout the day. Families explored as well as enjoyed a wide variety of drums and percussion instruments.

The New Children's Museum –showed kids of all ages how to make their very own set of 3D puzzle pieces by using markers, paint, and fabric that is repurposed.

Educating children about art is vital to developing as well as introducing an important set of work and life skills to this generation. Millions of dollars are being taken from school budgets, which have resulted in the elimination of many art and music programs. With this in mind, KidsWalk creates an important chance for families by giving younger generations a chance to get in touch with their inner artist.

The group that creates ArtWalk events both in April and again each September brings the public’s attention on ArtReach at these large public festivals.

ArtReach, a not-for-profit program, was founded through the means of ArtWalk, to provide visual art training to schoolrooms across San Diego County that has little or no funds for art education. By getting professional artists into the classroom, ArtReach provides kids the opportunity to realize their creative abilities and experience the joy in creating art while learning standards-based artistic skills.

All in all, the festival was a success and enjoyed by hundreds who flooded the park area.

lraise a stein to oktoberfest festival

O

ktoberfest may be best known for beer, beer, and more beer, but, at more than 200 years old, it is also one of the longest-running German traditions. While drinking Oktoberfestapproved beer is an important component of the festivities, there are many traditional foods and activities associated with Oktoberfest as well.

The Oktoberfest event may trace its origins back to October 12, 1810, when Crown Prince Ludwig married Princess Therese of Bavaria. The citizens of Munich were invited to attend the wedding festivities, which took place in the fields in front of the city gates.

The fields were later named "Theresienwise" (Theresa's meadow) after the princess. Horse races took place, and those races were repeated the following year. As a result, Oktoberfest became an annual celebration.

Oktoberfest has evolved throughout the years to include many significant traditions. Since 1950, the festival opens with a twelve gun salute and the tapping of the first keg of Oktoberfest beer at 12:00 p.m. by the Mayor of Munich. He cries, "O' zapft ist!" ("It's tapped!" in the Austro-Bavarian language) and officially opens the Oktoberfest. The Mayor then gives the first beer to the Minister-President of the State of Bavaria.

To qualify as Oktoberfest beer, a brew must conform to the Reinheitsgebot, a German beer purity law.

It must have a minimum of 6 percent alcohol. The beer also must be brewed within the city limits of Munich.

Oktoberfest participants wear traditional Bavarian hats, which are made with a tuft of goat hair -- a prized and expensive item in Germany.

The Oktoberfest is known as the Largest Volksfest (People's Fair) in the world. More than 7 million people are expected to participate this year.

Amid the festivities and the abundance of alcohol that is served, it may seem like it would be a chaotic

20

uniekest magazine oct 2012

event. However, most Oktoberfests occur without incident thanks to emergency medical care on hand.

Those who underestimate their ability to handle the rich beer tend to pass out from drunkeness and are dubbed "Bierleichen," or "beer corpses."

Along with beer, many traditional foods are served at Oktoberfest festivals -- from hendl (chicken) to knoedel (dumplings). Other Bavarian delicacies are served, including obatzda, a cheese spread.
