SITE SANTA FE is pleased to present The Body Electric, a solo exhibition spanning Jeffrey Gibson’s multidecade practice. Gibson’s merging of artistic styles, and historical and contemporary cultural references synergizes to create vibrant, multilayered works of art that express the complexities and relationships between injustice, marginalization, and personal identity.
The Body Electric features a survey of the artist’s painting, sculpture and installation, as well as newly commissioned works including the performance To Name An Other and a large-scale mural, THE LAND IS SPEAKING | ARE YOU LISTENING, activating SITE SANTA FE’s front lobby and main galleries.
