Artist Iris Haussler talks with students about her work in the "More Real?" exhibition at SITE
SITE Santa Fe’s Zine Program provided a unique opportunity for students to work directly with exhibitions and exhibiting artists to create handmade arts magazines reproduced and distributed at the museum. The Zine Program was a three-part project in which Ring Director of Education & Curator of Public Practice, Joanne Lefrak, visited the classroom to introduce the concepts behind SITE Santa Fe’s exhibition as well as, “zines,” handmade magazines that can be reproduced in a cost effective manner. The students then visited SITE Santa Fe for an in depth experience with the exhibition, often having the opportunity to work closely with one of the artists in the show to inspire their zine created back in the classroom. At the conclusion of the project, the zines were available to the public and distributed with SITE Santa Fe’s other printed materials.
Students from the New Mexico School for the Arts work on a project inspired by artist Sonja Alhaüser. This project was a collaboration between SITE and ARTsmart, and the zine created for this project is listed below!
