Luchezar Boyadjiev: Off-SITE(s) / SITE Santa Fe Seventh International Biennial, Lucky Number Seven

Luchezar Boyadjiev (born in 1957 in Sofia, Bulgaria) lives and works in Sofia. His contribution to SITE Santa Fe Seventh International Biennial Lucky Number Seven, is entitled Off-SITE(s). The purpose of Off-SITE(s) is to connect Lucky Number Seven with the City of Santa Fe. Off-SITE(s) consists of three parts: 77 $10 bills, on display in the SITE Santa Fe building; a trained group of young people (the Art Squad) who travel to different cultural institutions in Santa Fe and speak to visitors about subjects ranging from contemporary art to the environment; and “Hot-Spot” boards at off-site locations such as the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum. The Hot-Spot boards are meant to be used by the visitors for feedback on the works in the Biennial and the issues raised by Luchezar Boyadjiev. In this video we have a look at the board at the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum a week after the opening of the Biennial. Santa Fe, July 6, 2008.
