PAST EXHIBITION
Seventh International Biennial
June 22, 2008—October 26, 2008
Press Release
Mark your calendars for June 20-22, 2008, for the opening of LUCKY
NUMBER SEVEN. Join us as SITE unveils newly commissioned works by 25
emerging artists from 16 countries in SITE's building as well as in
off-site locations around Santa Fe.
In early January, 2008, SITE Santa Fe hosted a high energy,
international, artistic think tank convened to prepare for the Seventh
International Biennial. For one week in early January, SITE invited 25
artists and 5 curators from 16 countries to town--most coming to the US
for the first time ever--for a total immersion course in all things
Santa Fe. Together with the curator, Lance M. Fung, they visited many
different historical and cultural locations, met SITE staff, board and
community members, saw the exhibition design by architects Tod Williams
+ Billie Tsien, determined sites for each commission, and then returned
home to formulate their ideas and proposals. Their Santa Fe visit was
chronicled by Jori Finkel in the New York Timeson Sunday, January 27,
2008
In June, they all return to Santa Fe to build their works for the
opening June 20-22, 2008, with the help of a team of artist volunteers,
and several dozen student interns from around the world.
Together with Mr. Fung, the partner institutions and the curatorial
team are planning a project with several singular attributes: 1) all
emerging artists, 2) all will be making new commissions, 3) all
site-specific, and 4) all of the works will be temporary, existing only
until the end of the exhibition with many of the materials expected to
be recycled back into the community.
SITE's Seventh International Biennial exhibition, LUCKY NUMBER SEVEN,
is curated by Lance M. Fung, and will run from June 22-October 26,
2008. To plan your trip to Santa Fe for the opening weekend, please
