This thesis considers the work of eight contemporary artists who, by virtue of their biographies, have been situated on one side or another of two highly fraught border sites marked by their liminal, mutable character, namely the U.S.-Mexico border and the oceanic "border" space separating the island of Cuba from its diaspora. Taking urban geographer Edward W. Soja's notion of "Thirdspace" as a point of departure, artworks by these Cuban, Mexican, Cuban-American, and Mexican-American artists are analyzed dialogically within three frameworks based on paradigms frequently employed in the study of Latin/o American art: borderlands, exile, and hybridity. Artists include Rubé；n Ortiz Torres, Teresa Margolles, Delilah Montoya, Sandra de la Loza, Sandra Ramos, Carlos Garaicoa, Ernesto Pujol, and Leandro Soto. This thesis endeavors to temporarily fracture the binaries generated by these spaces, thereby building upon existing literature that considers these artists predominantly in relation to ethnicity or nationality.
