SITE Santa Fe announces the selection of 45 artists and artist collaboratives from 16 countries to be included in the inaugural edition of SITElines, SITE Santa Fe’s new biennial exhibition series with a focus on contemporary art from the Americas. The first SITElines exhibition, Unsettled Landscapes, will open July 20 and will be on view through January 11, 2015. Preview events will be held July 17–19.
SITElines signifies a radical rethinking of SITE Santa Fe’s signature biennial exhibition, originally established in 1995. It represents a collaborative structure for planning its biennials, a vision for continuity between biennials, a commitment to community and place, and a dedication to new and under-recognized perspectives. This multi-dimensional approach—together with a strong geographic focus—redefines SITE’s role at the forefront of biennial exhibition making and proposes new curatorial frameworks for biennials globally.
Unsettled Landscapes will look at the urgencies, political conditions and historical narratives that inform the work
