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

seniors, and SITE Santa Fe Members at Friend and Family levels, $2.50; SITE

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.
