Great stuff! It's hard to explain some of these exhibits and installations, so you just have to come and see for yourself. Check out Ann Hamilton's "the common SENSE," an installation which explores 'touch' as the sense that is common to all animal species." It's a roomful of wonderful photographic prints of animals mounted from floor to ceiling on newsprint. And you can take samples!

The exhibits were great and a nice change from the typical southwest art. I love Greg Lynn and was hoping a little more of him was seen in the interior of the architecture vs a couple of articulated surfaces on the front. ...budget?

SITE Santa Fe is a fascinating little contemporary art gallery. It's a break from the usual Southwestern art one sees along Canyon Road. Not only do they display contemporary art, but they also show movies. Back in the '90s, they showed the Director's Cut/Extended Edition of Bernardo Bertolucci's "The Last Emperor." A perfect place to see an epic film in an intimate little theater.

On our last morning in Santa Fe, my fiance and I visited Site Santa Fe, thinking it'd be a quick stop in an art gallery. We had our dog with us, so we took turns going inside. My fiance went first, and he was gone for half an hour. I didn't time myself, but apparently I took longer than an hour. I'm a huge jerk, I guess, but also Site Santa Fe is fascinating. Going in, I thought Site was an art gallery, but it turns out it's a small museum. Right now, the entire space is devoted to an exhibition on Art in the Age of Truthiness. It is an intriguing exhibit, with a variety of modern art centered around themes of truth, reality, perception, etc. This sort of exhibition has the potential to be pretentious and annoying, but this one was neither. It was thought-provoking and earnest and highly entertaining all throughout. I read almost every word on every plaque in the whole museum. Most of the art on display is fairly hard to describe with any faithfulness or brevity, so instead of making a sad attempt, I'll direct you to the exhibition's website: artsmia.org/more-real . Admission was $10 and well worth the price. The exhibition has really stayed with me over the last few weeks, and I feel like I'll remember it vividly for a long time. If you have even a passing interest in art, I'd say a visit to Site is mandatory if you're coming through Santa Fe. I'd make an effort to go to every show if I lived in town.

I went the same day as the Santa Fe Farmers' Market, and the admission was free. I'm not sure if it's always like that. It was fun!! It has a huge interior and at the time was showcasing one artist in particular who fully utilized the space with installations and sound and paintings and video. I enjoyed the exhibit and would be curious to check out other exhibitions if I'm in NM again. It's not as snooty as the galleries in town either.

SITE had unexpectedly progressive content for a city consumed by many tacky art galleries. Sure, some of the art was odd which is normal, but there was enough to make an intriguing 30 minute visit. Keep up the good work. Even better, it was free during Farmer's Market Saturdays. Yelp categorizes this place as an "art gallery" which is a subcategory of "shopping". They do not sell art here. This is a museum. There are many art galleries west and north of SITE.

I thank my lucky stars (that's right, all 5 of 'em) to have SITE in Santa Fe... Its an interesting progressively modern museum in a town of cowboys, indians and coyotes with bandanas. And guess what, kiddos! It's free on Fridays... so check it out. You may hate it, you may love it and if you go, you won't die wondering.

Santa Fe is lucky to have SITE. The 2010 Biennial, The Dissolve, is a really important exhibition in the evolution of contemporary art. I will not describe it further as to avoid coloring the readers' own impressions and experience of this exhibit, but if you enjoy contemporary art you need to see this exhibition. A note about a ridiculously low review, that was more a commentary about the reviewers dislike of contemporary art than anything else. I would suggest that if one doesn't "get" or like a particular genre of art then one should refrain from reviewing a venue that displays such art, or at least review the venue itself rather than the genre it exhibits. SITE is a world class asset to the city of Santa Fe, and most locals do have the sense to appreciate this fact even if they are not partial to contemporary works.

Not really worth a visit. The space is sparse concrete and tries very hard to scream "contemporary art", but the quality of work is similar to what could be found in numerous surrounding galleries that don't charge an extortionate $10 adult admission. Apparently they only have one exhibition at a time - video or sculpture or "contemporary" mixed media or etc. The caliber of artist that they seem to present doesn't merit the charge for entry. The place is gallery-esque and if free, wouldn't be so bad. With the admission charge, would skip this place unless you've never seen any "contemporary art" anywhere else on earth.

We were there for the Biennial, The Dissolve, which was a fascinating exploration of all things animated (starting with a particularly compelling short film created in 1929 using paper cut-outs). The depth and breadth of this exhibition, along with the excellent curation, gives me the impression that this is a significant modern art space, even though I've only seen this one show. I think it's well worth a visit for any modern art fan who finds him or herself in Santa Fe, and as a bonus it's located in the newly redeveloped railyard next to the farmer's market and other cool attractions.

Contemporary art ain't for everybody. But I like it. SITE is a must-see for avid fans, and for those who are curious what all the fuss is about. (BTW, I've enjoyed watching Santa Fe develop their Railyard district, where SITE is a cornerstone -- it reminds me of a little Denver LoDo/Riverfront. They've built a very impressive public park and a beautiful facility for farmer's markets. Now there are cafes, galleries, and even a brand spankin' new REI.) I've been to SITE several times, and -- like any museum -- not all exhibits are created equal. This month they have by far the best video exhibit I've seen at a contemporary art museum: It's by Brent Green (thru Sept 6, '09). Here's what SITE says about him: "Pennsylvania-based artist Brent Green is known for his stop-motion short films in which he combines hand-drawn animations, rickety handmade sets, and which he narrates in his distinctive, tremulous voice. These works reflect his abiding interest in the strange characters and local stories of his childhood in Appalachia. Green draws equally from Wagner (in the way that he works in many mediums, giving each equal importance, forming a "total work of art") and from Faulkner (in the bleak, heart-breaking humor of the stories that he tells).... "Tinkerer Used to be a Trade" is Green's new film about the life of Thomas Edison, which will premiere at SITE. In addition... Green will screen Carlin and the 2009 film Weird Carolers. Weird Carolers tells the story of Beethoven going deaf at the end of his life, but continuing to compose, biting his piano to feel its vibrations in his teeth, throwing hammers and shoes around in his second-story apartment in Salzburg, and inducing nightmares in the downstairs neighbor. In this most recent body of work, Green expands beyond the characters of his strange Appalachian childhood into historical and mythical ones."

Great Biennial along with a great concept for a biennial by bringing in a guest curator. Site Santa Fe has quickly became one of favorite Contemporary Art Museums. The were gracious hosts and our docents were fabulous. This was a great suggestion by G.M.!

Wow, I guess the locals hate this place. The only show I visited there was "Lucky Number 7" because I knew of 2 artists that were part of it. I liked their work--- but the interactive installations were my favorite. Some works didn't interest me--or were over my head ( and I work at a museum) but all in all, a great way to spend an hour.

Definitely awesome and always an experience. It's significantly cooler if you get a tour (I recommend Virginia as a tour guide), but generally interesting without one as well. Free and open until 7pm on Fridays, if you're hesitant about going (at least you won't have had to pay for it if you don't like it).
