Site Santa Fe Biennial

Jennifer Bartlett


The Site Santa Fe Biennial opened last week. The Site Santa Fe space is very large and impressive. The biennial had a great variety of work from photography, installation, sound, video, performance, and painting. Some of the highlights of the show were Jennifer Bartlett's colorful paintings, Wolfgang Laib, Catherine Opie's portraits, Stephen Dean's dartboards, Robert Grosvenor and the Christina Iglesias installation. The exhibit doesn't allow photography but there is a
2006 biennial official website with the artist's images and information on the curator Klaus Ottmann. Site Santa Fe is free to the public every Friday. I will probably return once or twice before it's over in January. This is the kind of show that takes some time to absorb due to the wide range of ideas presented.
