| description | Janet Dees, SITE's Thaw Curatorial Fellow, will investigate the theme of surveillance in contemporary art, connecting it to the work of Hasan Elahi. The theme of surveillance has garnered substantial attention from artists concerned with the loss of personal privacy after 9/11. However, the idea of watching and being watched has played a steady, if less obvious role in contemporary art since video cameras and feed-back loop technology became more accessible in the mid -1960’s. |

| description | In their passionate, poetic exchanges, documented in video and other means, McCallum and Tarry, a mixed-race husband and wife team, seek to complicate and overcome the archetypical binary “white man/black woman” in their work. By exploring their relationships to each other, McCallum and Tarry are in fact investigating race in the cultural, historical, and sociopolitical contexts. The exhibition at SITE Santa Fe, One on One, will feature three works by McCallum and Tarry: Topsy Turvy, Cut, and Exchange. |
