Uneasy Space
Interactions with Twelve Artists
Uneasy Space will focus on the innovative and sometimes unnerving use of physical space, interactive possibilities, and signifiers of day-to-day life that characterize much of contemporary art. The participating artists are Mathieu Briand, Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Kevin Hanley, Chris Johanson, Yayoi Kusama, Cildo Meireles, Paul Pfeiffer, Gregor Schneider, Bill Viola, and Rachel Whiteread. Some of the themes that run through all of these artists’ work include alternative media and technology, sensory perception, and innovative, large-scale installation.
In keeping with the institution’s philosophy of supporting the creation of new work, SITE SANTA FE is commissioning new, site-specific pieces by Chris Johanson and Gregor Schneider.
The exhibition is organized by SITE SANTA FE, and made possible in part by LLWW Foundation.
