\nAfter leaving the Salk Institute,\u00a0with my mind fully charged by my meeting with Dr. Kay, I began
\nlooking at casual interactions with different eyes. My work has always been nourished by human
\nrelationships, mostly focusing on specific cultural traits\u00a0(identity and gender).\u00a0 But, to be loyal to
\nthis project (Trifecta), I tried to look at the reactions one has in our everyday relationships and
\nbehaviors in a much more objective manner. My usual creative process takes me into
\nassemblage and collage as a way of clarifying my ideas, but there was one word, specifically,
\nthat I haven&#39;t been able to take out of my mind.\u00a0 This word, like other words that have haunted
\nme throughout my practice, needs to be left alone, written in capitals and splattered on a wall\u00a0for
\nit to be observed.
\nDr. Kay and I come from two different worlds, as it was evident in our meeting. We both had a
\nbit of trouble understanding each other just like the border area we live in; communication
\nsometimes struggles. Our different systems value different feelings, different outcomes, and
\ndifferent ways of thought. But, there are universal actions and reactions and the word I have in
\nmind is almost the only attitude needed to create descent communication.
\nBEHAVE. Behavior is cultural, but it is also biological, and the two must coincide for that
\nbehavior to create positive communication. As we all know when only one of these is willing to
\ncooperate and the other is not the result in behavior can be very negative and even life
\nchanging. The opposite is also true\u2013\u2013the outcome is totally different.<\/p>\n

Local artists and Salk Institute scientists collaborate in this interdisciplinary project that was inspired by the visionary gift of the Jacobs family. The Joan Klein and Irwin Mark Jacobs Senior Scientist Endowed Chair Challenge began in 2008 to encourage donors to establish endowed chairs in support of Salk scientists for their outstanding contributions to biological research. For every $2 million in donor contributions toward a chair, the Jacobs added $1 million to achieve the $3 million required for a full endowment. The Jacobs Challenge is responsible for 18 of the 31 chaired positions to date. The science that is funded today makes future discoveries possible and the patrons who make this research a reality are the stewards of tomorrow. To celebrate this gift to posterity, local artists have been paired with many of these honored scientists to create this exhibition. Through their artwork, the artists share their visions inspired by this cutting-edge research funded by philanthropic patrons of the community. This trifecta of artist, scientist, and patron pays homage to major contributors of this vibrant community and inspires a better future.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
