SITE SANTA FE PRESENTS A LECTURE BY WOLFRAM PUTZ OF GRAFT DESIGN THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2001

Santa Fe, NM - In conjunction with its Fourth International Biennial exhibition, Beau Monde: Toward a Redeemed Cosmopolitanism, SITE Santa Fe is pleased to present a lecture on architecture and exhibition design by Wolfram Putz, principal in Graft Design, on Thursday, November 15, at 7 pm. The event is part of the Art & Culture series. General Admission, $5; students, seniors, and SITE Santa Fe Members at Friend and Family levels, $2.50; SITE Santa Fe Members at Supporter level and above, Free.

Graft Design, an international design firm based in Los Angeles, seeks to redefine not only how things look, but also how they are conceived. Their commissions range from Brad Pitt's Hollywood house to the hottest restaurants in Los Angeles to international art exhibitions, including SITE Santa Fe's Fourth International Biennial. Elements from the natural world, such as wood and stone, are combined with a sleek sensibility to create a serene environment that keeps the spaces from becoming industrial or alienating.

A head designer at Graft, Wolfram Putz has received degrees in his native Germany and in California. He has served as a visiting critic in Germany and California. His exhibitions include Constructa Preis (1995) in Hannover, Germany, and Terrain Vague (1996) in Barcelona, Spain. Among other awards Putz has been the recipient of a Fulbright Scholarship and a G.F.W. Laves Award and Travel Scholarship.

Wolfram Putz and the other principals in Graft Design -- Chistoph Korner, Gregor Hoheisel, and Lars Kruckeberg -- are participating artists in SITE Santa Fe's Fourth International Biennial, Beau Monde: Toward a Redeemed Cosmopolitanism. SITE Santa Fe's Art & Culture series is partially supported by The Brown Foundation, Inc., Houston, Lannan Foundation, Madelin Coit and Alan Levin, Bobbie Foshay-Miller and Chuck Miller, and Marlene Nathan Meyerson.
