Welcome to New Mexico. Now Create.

From the New York Times:

"These tourists had not come to New Mexico on vacation but on something of a creative mission: to develop site-specific projects for the 2008 Site Santa Fe Biennial, works that will be installed either in the exhibition’s 15,000-square-foot main gallery or around town this summer. Although the exhibition does not open until late June, the creative process began this month, as 22 artists from almost as many countries converged on Santa Fe for a week of reconnaissance.
They were here getting to know the Site team, one another and the region, complete with its picturesque architecture — one artist called it “Santa Fake” — and its multicultural history. (Only two artists in the show were not able to make the trip. They will fly out later this winter.)"
